To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Chibi Maruko-chan anime, Fuji TV in Tokyo’s Odaiba district launched a limited-time “Chibi Maruko-chan Café” on the first floor of the TV station starting March 21, 2015. It was originally planned to operate for just one year until March 21, 2016, but due to its immense popularity, Fuji TV announced an extension until March 2017. In addition, many new menu items were introduced, with the “Pouting Nagasawa Meat Buns” being the most highly anticipated.

Although the “Chibi Maruko-chan Café” wasn’t intended for long-term operation, the year-round, one-year-only themed coffee shop didn’t skimp on food or decor. The extended-run Chibi Maruko-chan Café not only retained its original selection of over 20 menu items but also added several new drinks and dishes. In addition to the previously popular Nagasawa Onion Soup made with a whole onion, it now features the hot and freshly baked Nagasawa Meat Buns, the Hanazawa Latte Art Coffee, and a variety of character-themed dishes inspired by Chibi Maruko-chan. Next time you’re shopping in Odaiba, be sure to stop by Fuji TV to experience the charm of Maruko.
