Nintendo is set to open a new restaurant, "Super Family Restaurant," within the "Nintendo Museum"—an exhibition and interactive facility located in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture. As the museum marks its second year, this addition aims to further enrich the visitor experience through food and interior design infused with the company’s signature sense of playfulness. A trial run is scheduled to begin in November.
The museum, situated near Kintetsu Ogura Station, opened in October 2024. Admission is by reservation only, and due to high demand—often requiring a lottery system—the number of visitors surpassed one million by the end of July 2026. Until now, the only dining option within the facility was a café serving items such as hamburgers.
On October 13, the restaurant’s interior was unveiled to the press. It features approximately 80 seats, with objects inspired by characters and items from Nintendo games—such as Link, the protagonist of *The Legend of Zelda*—displayed between the tables. Through the windows, guests can view a mural depicting the world of *Super Mario Bros.*
While the menu does not explicitly highlight specific titles or characters, it incorporates clever touches designed to delight fans; for instance, a pasta dish features a combination of red and green—evoking Mario and Luigi. For group-sized portions intended for 3–4 people, the large serving platters are printed with the logo of the Nintendo 64 console (released in 1996), while the individual small plates for sharing feature illustrations of the console's controller—making the dining experience feel as engaging as playing a game with friends.
Nintendo describes the restaurant as a space where visitors can reflect on their personal memories associated with the company and their time spent at the museum. Access is exclusive to museum visitors. Following a trial period of approximately one month—with operations occurring on an irregular schedule starting in November—the restaurant will transition to full-scale operations. Further details will be announced at a later date.
