The popularity of Neon Genesis Evangelion has continued for decades, with fans everywhere still celebrating the series. This is evident in September with an upcoming Japanese event featuring a delicious party gift.
Via Oricon, a new Evangelion celebration in Roppongi, Tokyo will look back at the history of the mecha anime. Along with exploring its themes and concepts, the exhibition will include a variety of exclusive products for sale. Among them are delicious cookies themed after none other than Rei Ayanami, who is sure to have a big presence at the exhibition in her own right.
Evangelion Convention 2024 Has the Best Rei Ayanami Celebration
Scheduled to take place from September 13 to October 22, 2024, “Evangelion Crossing Expo – The Great Evangelion Exposition” will shine a light on one of the most iconic mecha anime franchises of all time. The event will take place in Roppongi, Tokyo at the iconic Roppongi Museum, with many products only available there. Another legendary spot at the venue is Amandes Roppongi, a bakery that will be introducing a legendary delicacy for Evangelion fans to try. This is their beloved “Ring Cookie”, which is only available at Evangelion Crossing Expo and is based on a fan-favorite Evangelion unit pilot episode.
The confection combines bright blue Ramune-flavored chocolate inspired by EVA pilot Rei Ayanami, with the cookie also featuring red raspberry powder—the same color as her eyes. The packaging of the cookies will also feature Rei. Various other items will also be available, including key chains, mugs, stickers, and other collectibles. There will even be a giant EVA Unit-01 head and a life-sized version of Rei in a display pool, allowing fans to see her almost eye-to-eye as they eat her-themed cookies. This is the second Evangelion-themed event of this nature, with the first being held two years ago in Shibuya. However, fans will have to head to the Roppongi fair to experience all the fan fun, with sights and items like Rei's Ring Cookies only available there for a limited time.
