What this is
Animate Cafe transforms into a summery soda-themed amusement park for the Tsukiuta franchise, featuring newly drawn mini character illustrations in a splash-and-soda aesthetic. The pop-up runs throughout August 2026 at DECOTTO by animate cafe in Tokyo, with collaboration menu items and exclusive merchandise tied to the theme. Entry is lottery-based for the opening days (August 5–9), then shifts to free admission for the remainder of the run, with numbered tickets issued during busy periods.
Who should go
Tsukiuta fans and animate cafe regulars will get the most out of this. Casual anime café visitors curious about the format are welcome on free-admission days, but the exclusive merch and themed menu are the main draws rather than any broader appeal.
Good to know
Lottery reservations for August 5–9 must be applied for online via the official website — check the page as soon as it opens, as slots fill within hours for popular animate cafe collaborations. DECOTTO by animate cafe is a smaller-format café space, so numbered tickets on free-admission days are likely during weekends and school holidays in August. Payment at animate cafe venues typically accepts IC cards and major credit cards, but cash is a safe backup for merchandise purchases. Themed food and drink items are usually priced in the ¥700–¥1,500 range per item, and exclusive merchandise sells separately. Foreign visitors should note that some merchandise may require a Japanese shipping address if ordering online, so buying in person on the day is advisable.
