The Summer Hikaru Died Announces Creepy New Collab with Tokyo’s Cursed Cafe
A limited-time collaboration cafe inspired by the television anime The Summer Hikaru Died will open at Noroi Cafe Juju in Tokyo from June 26 to July 13, 2026.
The event introduces a newly illustrated “test of courage” theme, bringing together exclusive food, drinks, merchandise and visitor bonuses created especially for the collaboration.
The Summer Hikaru Died is a supernatural horror series that follows Yoshiki as he becomes increasingly aware that his childhood friend Hikaru has returned as something far more unsettling than human.
The newly commissioned artwork depicts Hikaru, Yoshiki, Asako and Tanaka taking part in a nighttime test of courage, matching the eerie atmosphere of the series.
The collaboration menu includes Hikaru’s “True Identity” Fruit Daifuku for ¥1,400 (approx. $10 USD/ £7 GBP) and the Menchi Brothers’ Menchi Curry for ¥1,600 (approx. $11 USD/ £8 GBP).
Four themed drinks will also be available, including Yoshiki’s “We’ll Become One” Drink, Hikaru’s Tororo Drink, Tanaka’s Extra Sweet Morning Coffee and Asako’s “I Can Hear Something” Drink, with each beverage priced at ¥900 (approx. $6 USD/ £5 GBP).
Every collaboration food or drink ordered will include one randomly selected original coaster from a collection of five designs.
Fans will be able to purchase a range of exclusive merchandise, including glow-in-the-dark trading can badges with eight possible designs for ¥550 each (approx. $4 USD/ £3 GBP) or ¥4,400 (approx. $30 USD/ £23 GBP) for a complete box.
Trading stickers featuring seven designs will be available for ¥440 each (approx. $3 USD/ £2 GBP), while a complete box will cost ¥3,080 (approx. $21 USD/ £16 GBP).
