Chugai Oshiapi collaboration cafe opens in Osaka on October 29
The Chugai Oshiapi series and Chugai Grace Cafe are bringing themed drinks, desserts and fan goods to Osaka from October 29.
The Chugai Oshiapi series (「Chugai推しアピシリーズ」) is getting its first collaboration cafe, with Chugai Grace Cafe bringing a colourful takeaway menu and fan-focused merchandise to Osaka from October 29 to November 29.1
The venue is Chugai Grace Cafe Osaka on the first floor of Namba Marui. The event will use a free-entry system every day and operate as a takeaway-only shop, so visitors will not need a reservation to browse the menu and order during the published period.1
What is on the menu
The cafe will offer desserts and drinks designed around personalisation and fan colours. The menu includes a pudding à la mode and a sweets plate, both priced at ¥800, plus a sugar doughnut tea set at ¥1,150. The sweets plate and tea set can be paired with either berry or mango sauce.1
The push-colour aurora drink costs ¥650 and comes in 10 colours: red, pink, blue, light blue, purple, yellow, green, orange, white and black. The drawing latte costs ¥400 and lets customers decorate the drink themselves.1
Fan goods require a cafe order
The collaboration also adds new goods, including an acrylic card case in 11 colours for ¥880, a collection stand in 11 variations for ¥1,870 and acrylic parts for ¥1,320. The 15-style multi-phrase charm range includes fan-ready messages such as “Good luck at the event”, “Perfect” and “Forever an otaku”.1
There is one important restriction: the goods cannot be bought on their own. Customers must order a collaboration menu item before purchasing the merchandise, according to the announcement.1
Our opinion
This is a compact but well-defined event rather than a vague themed pop-up. The colour-led drinks and customisable menu give the cafe a clear reason to visit, while the free-entry, takeaway format should make it easier to fit around a trip through Namba Marui. The menu-order requirement for goods is worth knowing before travelling, particularly for fans who only want the charms or acrylic items. The official special site should be checked for any later changes to availability, pricing or event details.2
