Jujutsu Kaisen's 5th-anniversary cafe opens in Yokohama
On July 24, 2026, PIA announced that Jujutsu Kaisen would get a 5th-anniversary collaboration cafe in Yokohama. The event runs from August 1 through August 31, 2026 at Cafe Fan Base, on the 5th floor of Landmark Plaza in Minato Mirai. The setup is straightforward: themed food, desserts, and drinks; original artwork made for the collaboration; and a limited run of goods that cafe visitors can buy on site.
What Was Announced
The announcement is not just a generic pop-up notice. The collaboration comes with a concrete operating plan. The menu list includes four foods, four desserts, and twelve drinks. Reservations opened on July 24, 2026 at 18:00 JST and are accepted until 23:59 on the day before each business day. Each visit uses a 75-minute seating block, and the reservation fee is 550 yen. The cafe also says that its original goods are available only to cafe guests, with after-event mail order planned once the run ends.
Why It Matters
Anime collaboration cafes are one of the clearest examples of how Japanese fan culture becomes a real-world experience. They turn a series into a timed visit, a meal, a shopping stop, and sometimes a mini trip. In that sense, the Jujutsu Kaisen cafe is not a side note; it is part of the franchise’s lived public presence. For fans, the appeal is the combination of limited-time art, venue-specific menus, and the sense that the event exists only for a short window.
That matters especially for international readers. A collaboration cafe shows how an anime property can extend beyond streaming and merchandise into urban leisure, reservation systems, and location-based travel. Yokohama is also easy to pair with a Tokyo-area trip, so this is the kind of event that can move from “news item” to “itinerary item” very quickly.
Context for International Fans
Cafe Fan Base sits inside Landmark Plaza in Minato Mirai, which makes the venue practical for first-time visitors and regular travelers alike. The official notice makes two things especially clear: booking early is important, and goods are tied to cafe use. If you are hoping to visit during the first days of the run, the reservation window is the key detail to watch. If you are going later in the month, the main risk is not the event disappearing, but specific items or slots selling out.
Another useful detail is that the collaboration uses original illustrations created for this event. That usually makes the release more than a simple branding exercise, because the venue gets its own visual identity rather than just reusing existing key art. For a fan, that is often what turns a collaboration into something worth traveling for.
What Happens Next
The cafe is already running, and it is scheduled to stay open through August 31, 2026. If you want to visit, the practical next step is to check the reservation page and confirm availability before planning the trip. The venue also notes that same-day seating can depend on capacity, so the safest assumption is that this is a reservation-first event. By late August, the most relevant question will be which menu items and goods are still available.
