What this is
This is a limited-time birthday celebration event for Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club characters Karin Asaka and Ceras Yanagida Lienfelt, running from June 22 to July 5, 2026. The event is hosted at the official Nijigasaki High School Kitchen Car, a themed food and drink truck tied to the popular Love Live! Nijigasaki franchise. Fans can purchase special commemorative birthday drinks created in honor of the two characters, and each purchase comes with a bonus bromide photo print as a collectible gift. Supplies are limited, and business dates and hours are announced via the official Kitchen Car X (formerly Twitter) account, making it a must-follow for planning your visit.
Who should go
This event is tailor-made for fans of Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club, particularly those who love Karin Asaka or Ceras Yanagida Lienfelt. It offers a charming, low-key way to celebrate beloved characters with themed drinks and exclusive collectibles in a casual outdoor setting. Anime merchandise collectors will appreciate the limited-edition bromide photo prints that come with each purchase. Follow the official Nijigasaki Kitchen Car X account before visiting to confirm operating hours and dates, as these are not fixed in advance.
Good to know
This is a pop-up kitchen car event, meaning the exact location and schedule within the June 22–July 5 window are announced via the official Nijigasaki Kitchen Car X account — follow it and check before you go. Payment is almost certainly cash-only, as is standard for Japanese food trucks, so bring small bills. The bromide photo prints are a one-per-drink bonus gift and are limited in quantity, so earlier visits on each operating day are strongly recommended. There is no ticketing system — simply queue and purchase on the day. Foreign visitors should note that the X account posts in Japanese, so using a translation tool will help you stay updated on hours and locations.
