Dining at the Colourful New Wreck-It Ralph Café in Harajuku
Hi, everyone. Ellie here from the MMN Editorial Team.
I paid a visit to the new limited-time Ralph Breaks The Internet café which just opened in Harajuku on April 19.
It’s located on the first floor of Tokyu Plaza Omotesando which faces the road where Omotesando and Meiji-dori meet. Tokyu Plaza is a huge shopping complex located just a 5-minute walk from Harajuku Station.
When you ascend to the third floor you are immediately greeted by a cute entrance and a big ralph.
The first thing you see upon stepping into the café are all the purchasable items and merchandise lining the shelves!
The one I was most interested in was the icing cookies (¥750 before tax). I will show more merchandise later on. For now, let’s get straight inside.
The decorations are cute and colourful and somehow girly♡
The café has huge windows so it gets some great sunlight. The natural lighting means you can take some really nice pictures.
There are plenty of spots to take photos dotted around the café.
They even have sofas meaning you can enjoy your time with big groups or together with children!
This is what’s on the menu. There are lots of items with movie references that fans won’t be able to resist.
The flag stuck into the “Tabesugi Chuui! Pancakes” (¥1,390 before tax) and the lunch mats that you get can be taken home after you’re finished.
The “Tea Like Princess” (¥990 before tax) really makes you feel like a princess with the heart-shaped tea bag that comes with it♡
The “Happy Meal BOX” (¥1,590) comes with a hearty serving inside a box with a cute Vanellope illustration on it.
The “Heart Ippai Salad” (¥1,490) is a jar full of salad. What’s unique about this salad though is that it’s all cute into heart shapes. This will make eating the salad fun even for children who don’t like vegetables!
Their pop design drinks are Instagrammable too.
While you enjoy your meal you can actually watch Ralph Breaks The Internet being played on the screens.
Here’s a selection of the pieces of original merchandise they are selling.
There are plenty of items with the princess featured on them including the acrylic coasters (¥800 before tax) and acrylic key rings (¥750 before tax).
Customers can also get some free merch. If they make a reservation prior to arriving they will get one of six possible movie stills from the film. When arriving at the café they’ll get one of ten original hologram stickers.
And for every item ordered on the menu they can get one of nine original coasters!
In any case, they have placed cute motifs and references at every turn. It was a truly satisfying food entertainment experience!
Be sure to visit the café yourself to see all the other menu items and merchandise I couldn’t show today♡

Report: The Successful Second Tabekko Doubutsu Cafe Stand in Omotesando
The second Tabekko Doubutsu Cafe Stand event opened in Omotesando on November 1, 2022. Paying homage to the classic snack first released in 1978, the cafe features a number of tasty snacks inspired by the thin animal-shaped cookies popular around the world.
This second event will run through January 9, 2023. Reservations are required, and many dates were completely sold out prior to the event’s start date, particularly on weekends. We decided to visit, anxious to see what the fuss is all about.
We were first shocked to see the popular animals enjoying oden! Original goods featuring the characters enjoying the quintessential Japanese winter dish are only available at the cafe. From acrylic keychains to figures, visitors can snag some adorable merchandise to commemorate their trip to the exclusive event. Why not snag some items that would be useful on a daily basis, like a notebook or an apron?
For food, visitors can snag a special Oden Set and Chinese Dumplings, both perfect for the winter. The oden features popular ingredients like egg, daikon, fish cake, and mochikinchaku, each branded with the popular animal characters. Drinks include soy milk, green tea milk, and milk tea.
In addition to the exclusive Lion Cake which is limited to 25 servings a day, guests can find chocolate bananas and other sweets on the menu, including a Sweets Set limited to those reserving special seats at the venue. For every ¥1,000 spent on food and drink items, customers will receive one Tabekko Doubutsu trading card!
The exhibition space is a must-see for fans of this legendary snack, filled with rare works including an adorable and very colorful print of every animal holding a bowl of oden. Of course, a photo spot has been set up for visitors to take some prime shots for social media!
Don’t miss the animal meet and greet, which is making its triumphant return from the last event! Visitors can interact with different animals on different days, so check the official Twitter page (@tabekko_cafe) for the schedule and more information! The number of visitors per day is limited, so make a reservation as early as you can.
Come enjoy these heartwarming treats while you have the opportunity!
