About

Daily Chiko is a humble snack counter in the basement food floor of Nakano Broadway, the otaku shopping complex, but it's famous for one thing: the 'tokudai' (extra-large) soft-serve cone, stacked with eight swirled layers of different flavours, typically including vanilla, chocolate, matcha, strawberry, grape, ramune and caramel. The cone is so tall it needs careful technique to eat before it collapses, which is the whole point of the viral videos. Smaller sizes are available for a fraction of the price. It pairs perfectly with a browse of the anime and collectibles shops upstairs.
