Popular anime series Chainsaw Man will be getting a pop-up café in Tokyo with inspired dishes and merchandise from the show. The theme of the pop-up café follows the anime series that was adapted from Tatsuki Fujimoto’s horror manga, Chainsaw Man. It follows the story of Denji who makes a contract with a dog-like devil named Pochita who grants him the power to turn into a devil with chainsaws for body parts.
There are 17 items on the pop-up café menu that include exceptional food and drinks inspired by the anime series. Such items include a Denji-inspired omelet with rice, a Devil Mont Blanc, Pochita pudding parfait, and more. Customers of the pop-up café will be able to collect exclusive merchandise derived from moments of the series. The series-inspired merchandise lineup consists of acrylic stands, acrylic key holders, button badges, sticker sets, and a mug. The pop-up café is only available for a limited time from February 2nd to April 2nd.
