The fifth installment of the IDOLiSH7 collaboration café series, titled “IDOLiSH7 Harmony Lounge,” is set to open a pop-up restaurant called “IDOLiSH7 HAPPY KiTCHEN TiME.” Running from June 10 to July 7, 2026, the café will be available at Animate Café Ikebukuro 2nd Store and Osaka Nipponbashi.
IDOLiSH7 (often shortened to I7 or AiNana) is a major media mix project that began with a mobile game and has since expanded into TV anime, CDs, live concerts, manga adaptations, and more. The series, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2025, follows the growth of 16 idols. It first aired as an anime in 2018 and remains popular for its characters, music, and story.
For this new café, a fresh visual has been released showing all seven members of IDOLiSH7—Izumi Iori, Nikaido Yamato, Izumi Mitsuki, Yotsuba Tamaki, Osaka Sougo, Rokusho Nagi, and Nanase Riku—dressed in aprons, adding to the restaurant theme.
Exclusive Menu Items
The café will serve food and drinks that can only be enjoyed there. Savory options include Iori’s Herb & Lemon Quiche Plate, while sweet lovers can try Riku’s Honey Milk Warm Crepe. For drinks, there are Yamato, Mitsuki & Nagi’s Mixed Cider and Tamaki & Sougo’s Bicolor Water, both in refreshing summer colors.
Order Bonus and Merchandise
With each food or drink order, customers will receive a random coaster. They can choose between A Group (Iori, Tamaki, Sougo, Riku) or B Group (Yamato, Mitsuki, Nagi).
Original goods featuring the apron visuals will also be sold. Highlights include trading mini acrylic stands (divided into the same A and B groups) and a multi cloth, all exclusive to this café.
Gratte and Birthday Campaigns
During the same period, a graphic latte service called “Gratte” will be available at multiple Animate locations, including Animate Ikebukuro Main Store, Akihabara ANNEX, Shibuya, and others. Prints of the characters will appear on the cream of the drinks.
At Animate Café Ikebukuro 2nd Store and Osaka Nipponbashi, special birthday drinks will be offered for Natsume Minami (June 8–15) and Rokusho Nagi (June 20–26). Each birthday drink is available for only about one week. During these periods, customers who spend 2,000 yen (tax included) or more on food, drinks, or merchandise at participating stores will receive a birthday bromide. The campaign runs until stock runs out.
All items and bonuses are limited and may end when supplies are exhausted, so fans are encouraged to check early.
