WHAT IS GACHA?
Gacha Gacha, just like ‘woof woof’ (a dog barking) is an onomatopoeia that describes the sound the machine makes when you are turning the dial. Each machine is filled with Gachapon. These are small figurines containing anything imaginable from keychains and games to small lights and build-it-yourself figurines. All high Japanese quality.
When you go to Japan you will see these machines everywhere. In stations, the airport, big stores or outside on the street. Inside the machines you have a series of figurines ranging from popular anime, household items, animals, movies and tv-shows. When you play you will randomly get one items of the series. It’s up to the player if they want to collect a whole series or if they just want a single one. If you want to get the whole series you have to play multiple times and hope you don’t get any twice or three times!
FIGURINES
We also proudly offer original Japanese Figurines! From series like Dragon Ball, One Piece, Naruto and so on! In Japan these figurines are either played for in a UFO-Catcher (crane-game) or from the displays. Japan usually displays the figurines in clear boxes. These are part of a large collectors market.
GAMING
In the Otaking Amsterdam we have two 4K screens which we can connect to game consoles like the Nintendo Switch. We hold small game events where you can win multiple prizes from our store and restaurant (see Ramen Kingdom). We play a different game each event! Are you interested? Please take a look on our facebook:

and keep an eye on our events! You can register for these events by email which will be provided on the event page.
RENTAL BOX
Stores like ours have adapted to the Japanese system by using clear boxes to display our figurines. In some stores in Japan it’s possible to rent out these boxes to the public to display their own figurines to sell. This is a commission based system.
