A new Kirby Cafe branch will be opened for a limited time in Nagoya, Japan. Benelic, the owners of the cafe franchise announced. Reservations for the cafe will be available starting August 12th for attendances up to November 30th.
This Kirby Cafe branch will be open starting September 15, 2022 and will run all the way through February 5, 2023. The menu in the Nagoya branch will have exclusive items such as a Waddle Dee-printed burger served with meat pasta and warm vegetables.
There’s also a hot dog with fried shrimp put inside the mouth of a ceramic Kirby, and even a Kirby-themed peach parfait.
By paying extra, customers will be able to bring home the decorative plate the burger is served on and the glass the peach parfait is served in. Unfortunately, it does not seem the ceramic Kirby is not available for sale separately. Also according to the website, there is more coming soon, so there may be more exclusive dishes served.
A merchandise store will also be set up near the cafe. There is no requirement of a reservation to visit this shop, but as of this writing there is no information on what goodies will be sold here.
While this Kirby Cafe is set to be open for a limited time, there are 2 permanent branches of the cafe owned by Benelic. The first was launched at Tokyo Skytree Town Solamachi, and there’s another coming to Canel City Hakata.
It is unknown if there are plans of adding more permanent spots, such as upgrading the one coming to Nagoya as such. If not, then it is also unknown if the exclusive menu items at the Nagoya branch will be coming to the permanent Kirby Cafe branches.
