Party-Themed Menus Spanning Three Arcs

The café, operated by LTR with cooperation from MAPPA (Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man), splits its menu across three sections of the anime's run. Hidden Inventory/Premature Death gets dishes inspired by Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, and Ieiri Shoko. The Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie section covers Okkotsu Yuta, Zenin Maki, Inumaki Toge, and Panda. The Shibuya Incident section rounds out the menu with Itadori Yuji, Fushiguro Megumi, and Kugisaki Nobara.

Standout items include Gojo's "Hollow Purple" Fruit Punch (¥1,690), which blends blue and red elements to represent his Cursed Technique, and Okkotsu's "Promise Ring" Bulgogi Bowl (¥1,790), topped with a purple sauce evoking his and Rika's bond. Kugisaki gets a rose-and-berry waffle (¥1,790) with a hammer stencil for that signature nail-and-hammer flair.

Each arc also has its own set of anniversary party drinks (¥990 each), with flavors matched to individual characters. Gojo gets ramune soda, Geto gets pineapple-orange, and Itadori gets orange-peach.

The listing on Japanese press release platform PR TIMES confirms a revival of the Prison Realm Tiramisu (¥1,790), a hit from the 2023 Shibuya Incident café. The dessert, inspired by Gojo trapped inside the Prison Realm, comes in an acrylic box display.

Three Cities, Staggered Openings

The café runs at BOX cafe&space locations in three cities:

  • Tokyo (Shinjuku): Lumine Est Shinjuku 8F, July 9 to September 27, 2026
  • Nagoya: Global Gate Nagoya 1F, July 9 to August 23, 2026
  • Osaka (Umeda): KITTE OSAKA 6F, July 23 to September 6, 2026

Reservations opened June 26 at 18:00 JST, with a ¥660 (tax included) booking fee per person. Each reservation includes a random "ticket-style card" (one of three designs). Ordering any drink earns a paper coaster (13 designs total, randomized within each arc), with a 1-in-10 chance of pulling a rare variant.

Exclusive Merchandise and Online Shop

The café's original merch line launches alongside the Tokyo and Nagoya openings on July 9, with an online shop going live at noon JST. Products are split by arc, matching the menu's three-section structure.

The lineup includes can badges (¥605, random), acrylic keychains (¥770, random), acrylic stands (¥1,430, 10 designs), postcard sets (¥825 for 6-packs, ¥990 for 8-packs), clear file sets (¥990 per pair), mini-character acrylic keychains and stands, sticker sets, clear pouches (¥1,760), and commemorative glasses (¥2,200).

A nostalgia-focused line of clear files (¥550 each) reproduces key visuals from every past Jujutsu Kaisen café dating back to the 2022 JJK 0 edition.

Online orders of ¥3,300 or more earn a bonus clear card (one of three, randomized).

Five Years of Jujutsu Kaisen on Screen

Season 1 premiered in October 2020 on MBS/TBS. The Jujutsu Kaisen 0 prequel film followed in December 2021, eventually earning ¥26.5 billion (approx. $177 million) at the worldwide box office. Season 2 brought Hidden Inventory and the Shibuya Incident arc in 2023, and Season 3's Culling Game: Part 1 adaptation began airing in January 2026.

Gege Akutami's original manga ran in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump.

Looking Ahead

The café is open for advance reservations now at the official site (jujutsukaisen-cafe.jp), with the first tables seating guests on July 9. Tokyo's nearly three-month run gives the longest window, while Nagoya's six-week stint is the tightest. Osaka opens two weeks later on July 23.

For international fans planning a Japan trip this summer, the Shinjuku location sits inside Lumine Est on the 8th floor, directly connected to JR Shinjuku Station. No English-language booking option has been announced, but the BOX cafe&space chain has previously offered walk-in availability after reservation-only opening weeks.

Season 3 of the anime continues airing on MBS/TBS in Japan, with Crunchyroll streaming the series internationally.
