What this is
Ufotable and Production I.G have created 188 brand-new illustrations across the entire Tales series catalogue specifically for this collaboration café event, marking the franchise's 30th anniversary. Phase 1 runs July 28–August 23, 2026 across three ufotable-operated café venues in Tokyo, Kitakyushu, and Tokushima. Guests can order themed food and drinks inspired by Tales characters and worlds, and purchase exclusive merchandise featuring the new artwork — with bonus gifts tied to orders and purchases.
Who should go
Squarely aimed at Tales series fans who want to celebrate the franchise's milestone with themed food, collectible merch, and fresh artwork. Visitors to Tokushima during the Machi★Asobi festival period will find this a natural fit alongside other ufotable events in the city.
Good to know
Reservations for ufotable cafés are handled through their official website or dedicated booking system — foreign credit cards are generally accepted online, but confirm at time of booking. Each visit typically requires a minimum food or drink order to receive bonus gifts, and bonuses are often limited in quantity per day. Menu and merchandise details had not been announced at time of listing, so check the official site closer to the opening date. The Tokushima venue is closely associated with the Machi★Asobi anime event, making it a hub for fans already visiting the city. Bring cash as a backup, as some merchandise counters at smaller ufotable venues prefer it.
