What this is
Animate Gratte — the café arm of Japan's biggest anime retail chain — is marking the drama adaptation of "You are in the blue summer" with a limited-run food collaboration running through August 2026. Themed lattes, cookies, and ice cream are available at select stores, with the Shibuya, Kichijoji PARCO, Sendai, and Umeda branches offering the full menu including ice cream. Online sets are also planned for those who can't visit in person.
Who should go
Fans of "You are in the blue summer" and anyone who enjoys anime café collaborations. The format suits solo visitors or small groups browsing the animate store before or after ordering.
Good to know
No advance tickets are required — this is a walk-in café collaboration, so simply visit a participating animate Gratte store during the event period. Payment is typically by cash or card at the counter; card acceptance varies by store location. The Shibuya animate Gratte is one of the busiest branches and may have queues on weekends. Online sets are planned via the official channel, which is useful for visitors who can't reach a physical store. Check the official website to confirm which stores near you are participating before making a trip.
