Kirby Café
After a successful run a couple of years ago, the Kirby Café is back! This time, it will be held from September 27th to February 17th, in Tokyo. If you missed it the first time around, this is the perfect opportunity for you to check it out! And even if you did manage to go once, there will be something new for you with this second run: new dishes, new sweets, and even new drinks! And like last time, there will be exclusive goodies on sale at the shop located inside the café: those will be revealed at a later date.
Here’s a short video:
