What this is
Across multiple ufotable-operated cafes and dining venues in Japan, this month-long birthday celebration dedicates themed menus, merchandise, and decor to Muichiro Tokito — the Mist Hashira from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba. Fans can visit ufotable Cafe, Machi★Asobi CAFE, ufotable DINING locations, ufotable Cafe TO GO, and ufotable CHARACTERS Cafe IKEBUKURO, each offering exclusive birthday-themed items. ufotable CINEMA participates with merchandise sales only. Some store and online sales extend through September 7.
Who should go
Demon Slayer fans, particularly those attached to Muichiro Tokito, will get the most out of this. Collectors hunting limited-edition merchandise and anyone who enjoys character-themed cafe dining are the core audience.
Good to know
Reservations for ufotable cafes are made through the official ufotable website and typically open weeks in advance — foreign credit cards are generally accepted online but a Japanese phone number or account may be required for some booking systems. Each cafe visit usually requires ordering at least one food or drink item to receive the collectible bonus (such as a character coaster), and these bonuses are often randomised. Merchandise is sold separately and quantities are limited per person per visit. The Ikebukuro location is the most accessible for Tokyo visitors. Bring cash as a backup, since smaller ufotable venues may have limited card payment options.
