In the run up to the release of Tokyo Ghoul S on July 19―the sequel to the live-action adaptation of Tokyo Ghoul―an official themed cafe based on Tokyo Ghoul:re will open at Ikebukuro PARCO on June 6 for a limited time.
Before the official opening of the cafe, however, actress Maika Yamamoto who plays Touka Kirishima in the upcoming movie attended a pre-opening on June 4 which was held for the press. She tried and commented on the menu and also gave a talk.
Yamamoto wore the same uniform that Touka wears in the film when working at the Anteiku Cafe. The first item from the eye catching menu she tried was the Kaneki Sekigan Curry, a curry rice dish inspired by Kaneki’s red ghoul eye. Notwithstanding its frightening appearance, Yamamoto commented on the tantalising aroma of the curry and its delicious taste.
She then took a sip from the Touka Jelly Drink, a beverage based on the character she plays. She admired its gorgeous blue hue, describing it as cute and Instagram-worthy.
The final dish she tried was the Gourmet Tsukiyama Roast Beef which is of course based on the film’s antagonist and Gourmet himself, Shuu Tsukiyama. Before taking a bit, Yamamoto said, “This reminds me of when Tsukiyama eats in the movie!”
She summed up her thoughts on the cafe menu: “I was suspicious of how everything would taste at first, but I’m surprised at how delicious it all was. It was fun to be photographed too. I feel like I can eat all of this as a ghoul. I’m relieved.”
Yamamoto was also questioned about her role in the film. She responded: “The film is bigger and better than the last, and both the action and CG is really well done too. The visuals are incredibly cool. Kubota [Masataka], Shota [Matsuda] and all the cast are really wonderful too, so please be sure to watch it!”
She also left a message for fans looking forward to the film, saying: “The last 20 minute ghoul versus ghoul scene is of course a highlight, but the drama between the humans and ghouls is amazing too, so I want people to take note of that aspect as well. And the music is beautiful, so make sure to take in everything until the credits roll!”
“Before seeing the movie please come to this cafe and immerse yourself in the world of ghouls and then go and see the movie. You might get an affinity [with the ghouls!]” she concluded with a smile.
The cafe will run from June 6 to July 15. The menu is packed with drinks and dishes inspired by the unique and memorable characters from the series. A selection of new official merchandise of the manga will also be sold.池

It was revealed last month that the sequel to the live-action adaptation of Tokyo Ghoul will be titled Tokyo Ghoul S. Set for released in Japan on July 19, 2019. An official specially-produced video was released on the official Shochiku YouTube page to begin promoting the forthcoming release.
The video begins with popular Japanese-Canadian model Natsuki Margaret Gibb, known professionally as Maggy, who is riding a taxi through the streets of Tokyo. We see cuts of characters from the first film shown using new filming techniques including Kuredo Mado (played by Yo Oizumi), Rize Kamishiro (Yū Aoi), Ryouko Fueguchi (Shōko Aida), and Hinami Fueguchi (Hiyori Sakurada). The video was filmed around various locations in Tokyo at nighttime using a projector. The beautiful shots were made possible by the directors Kawasaki and Hiramaki who have created various TV commercials during Tokyo's late evenings. ©Sui Ishida / Shueisha ©2019 "Tokyo Ghoul S" Production Committee Information

It has been announced that the café based on the hit manga and anime series Tokyo Ghoul:re will now open in Sapporo too alongside Osaka, Tokyo, Nagoya and Fukuoka. The always-popular "Mazui Sandwich" (literally "gross-tasting sandwich") will feature on the Sapporo menu. As its name suggests, this sandwich tastes disgusting, but for a good reason. In the world of Tokyo Ghoul, ghouls must consume human flesh - anything else, including any sort of food - tastes gross. Other menu items will include dishes inspired by the unique characters in the series.
The “Can I Really Eat This?” Burger: ¥1,590
This burger is based on the ‘meat’ that Yoshimura first serves to Kaneki at the Anteiku café. What could be inside the brown paper bag…?Nimura’s Handmade Shiono Pâté: ¥1,590

When Kijima was dying he requested that he wanted to eat cheese. That’s what inspired this rare cheese cake, which when sliced into seeps out a red sweet and sour berry sauce.Owl’s Fresh Blood Pineapple Juice: ¥790
This pineapple juice is based on Owl’s killing of Seidou Takizawa. When mixed, the bright red ‘fresh blood’ seeps through the entire glass. It’s just like owl says in the series: “You’re like a freshly-picked pineapple!”Customers who order a drink will receive a random sticker from a possible 12 designs.

The official title for the upcomingTokyo Ghoul live-action sequel－previously promoted with the tentative title Tokyo Ghoul 2－has been revealed. Tokyo Ghoul [S] will hit Japanese theatres on July 19, 2019. In line with the announcement, a new trailer has dropped.
The staff line-up too has been kept under wraps until now. In charge of screenwriting is Japanese playwright Chūji Mikasano who worked on the Touken Ranbu musical as well as on both the anime and stage play adaptations of Tokyo Ghoul. It will be directed by Hiramaki Kazuhiko and Takuya Kawasaki with Masanori Morikawa of CHRISTIAN DADA returning again as costume designer. The new trailer features both returning characters from the first film as well as new ones. The standout scene from the trailer is seeing Shuu Tsukiyama's (Shota Matsuda) obsession with Kaneki (Masataka Kubota). Kaneki declares him a pervert when Tsukiyama explains to him he wants to eat Kaneki while Kaneki is eating something himself. A stylish new visual was also released featuring Kaneki, Touka and Tsukiyama. ©Sui Ishida / Shueisha ©2019 "Tokyo Ghoul [S]" Production Committee Information

The second Tabekko Doubutsu Cafe Stand event opened in Omotesando on November 1, 2022. Paying homage to the classic snack first released in 1978, the cafe features a number of tasty snacks inspired by the thin animal-shaped cookies popular around the world. This second event will run through January 9, 2023. Reservations are required, and many dates were completely sold out prior to the event’s start date, particularly on weekends. We decided to visit, anxious to see what the fuss is all about.
We were first shocked to see the popular animals enjoying oden! Original goods featuring the characters enjoying the quintessential Japanese winter dish are only available at the cafe. From acrylic keychains to figures, visitors can snag some adorable merchandise to commemorate their trip to the exclusive event. Why not snag some items that would be useful on a daily basis, like a notebook or an apron? For food, visitors can snag a special Oden Set and Chinese Dumplings, both perfect for the winter. The oden features popular ingredients like egg, daikon, fish cake, and mochikinchaku, each branded with the popular animal characters. Drinks include soy milk, green tea milk, and milk tea. In addition to the exclusive Lion Cake which is limited to 25 servings a day, guests can find chocolate bananas and other sweets on the menu, including a Sweets Set limited to those reserving special seats at the venue. For every ¥1,000 spent on food and drink items, customers will receive one Tabekko Doubutsu trading card! The exhibition space is a must-see for fans of this legendary snack, filled with rare works including an adorable and very colorful print of every animal holding a bowl of oden. Of course, a photo spot has been set up for visitors to take some prime shots for social media! Don’t miss the animal meet and greet, which is making its triumphant return from the last event! Visitors can interact with different animals on different days, so check the official Twitter page (@tabekko_cafe) for the schedule and more information!
