Anime-Themed QSR Restaurants

Burger King Japan Opens a SPY x FAMILY Berlint Store in Shibuya

— October 21, 2022 — Lifestyle
Burger King Japan is hopping on the hype train for the popular anime series SPY X FAMILY, written and illustrated by Tatsuya Endo. The anime franchise has seen substantial success in both the Asian and Western markets, and now Burger King has brought the family to Japan for a limited time at the Berlint store in Shibuya. The store’s exterior features the Forger family in their everyday clothes while daughter Anya overlooks the street at the top of the restaurant.

Burger King Japan recently teased its cooperation with SPY x FAMILY by posting a message to Anya on several of its locations in Tokyo and promising exclusive merchandise. A special sticker and Anya apron have been identified as the products being offered in this exclusive collaboration. The partnership will start on October 20 and extend through November 21, when the Berlint location will close and return as a normal Burger King location.
