Everyone’s favourite supporting character Mr. Potato from the Toy Story film franchise is set to get his very own themed cafe which will open at CONCEPT CAFE by SWEETS PARADISE in Shibuya MODI from June 29 to July 28. Japan is known for its many character-themed cafes but this is the first one to be centred on Mr. Potato Head.
You may or may not know that Toy Story is not the first place that Mr. Potato Head appeared. He was actually a real toy conceived by George Lerner in 1949 and was first manufactured and distributed by Hasbro in 1952. As his name suggests, he is a potato-shaped character with detachable parts.
The menu line-up includes four dishes and eight drinks and the cafe will be decorated in all things Mr. Potato Head.

All customers that dine at the cafe will receive one of eight possible Mr. Potato Head lunch mats as pictured below.
Those who order a drink will also receive one of eight possible coasters chosen randomly. These novelties are limited in stock.
An official Instagram page was set up for the cafe so be sure to check it out.

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.

From acrylic keychains to figures, visitors can snag some adorable merchandise to commemorate their trip to the exclusive event.

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!
