What this is
A revival of the 2023 collaboration between long-running ninja comedy anime Nintama Rantaro and the all-you-can-eat dessert chain SWEETS PARADISE, returning across four locations in Japan including Nagoya Sakae. Guests get a themed menu, exclusive merchandise only available to café visitors, and special giveaways — all within a 80-minute timed session.
Who should go
Nintama Rantaro fans, particularly those who missed the 2023 original run. Anime café regulars and SWEETS PARADISE enthusiasts will feel at home; casual visitors unfamiliar with the IP will find less to enjoy.
Good to know
Reservations are made through the SWEETS PARADISE official app — download it in advance as walk-in availability is not guaranteed, especially on weekends. The app is in Japanese but navigable with a translation tool; foreign credit cards are generally accepted at SWEETS PARADISE locations. The Nagoya Sakae branch is a standard SWEETS PARADISE buffet-style café, seated and family-friendly. Collaboration merchandise can only be purchased by customers who are dining at the café, so you cannot buy items separately without a table. Note that the Shinjuku Marui Annex location (not Nagoya) is closed on August 19 — the Nagoya Sakae location is unaffected by this closure.
