When I was a kid, I found myself relating to Maruko-chan a lot. I was bad at studying, I loved just kicking back and relaxing, was sly, was always spoiled by my mother. I’ve always thought I was just like Maruko. I spent my childhood together with her, reading Ribon magazine, reading manga, and watching anime. I love her so much that even to this day, when I’m at home on Sundays, I never fail to watch the show.

 

Then there was Coji-Coji, who has a mellow and laid-back outlook, whose lines are sharp and quick, and who, if you see him, is sure to get a surprised reaction out of you. I was raised reading Chibi Maruko-chan, meaning I was of course a fan of the author Momoko Sakura, so it was only natural that I loved Coji-Coji which she wrote too.

With that long introduction out of the way, it’s time for the main event. Combining the best of both worlds and my two favourites, the new MARUKO & COJICOJI CAFÉ opened at Ginza Marionette Gate 1 on January 31 and it’s set to run until July 31.

 

I form part of the editorial team here at MOSHI MOSHI NIPPON, and loving Maruko-chan as much as I do, I of course had to make a trip to the cafe. I was joined by Chinese model and talent Etsuna.

Artwork from the Markuko-chan and Coji-Coji picture book Ehon Maru Koji. The pictures have a gentle touch to them and are enough to make you feel at ease at the first glance.

You feel warm and fluffy seeing the two of them getting along together like this.

There’s huge pieces of artwork too like this one Etsuna is standing next to.

The tables have these lunch mats on them. There’s two designs; one of Maruko and Coji-Coji walking across a field of grass and another with them swimming in the ocean amongst the fishes. Both are just too precious♡ I feel happy seeing the two of them having fun together. Boy, am I glad I came here.

 

The menu line-up is overflowing with originality too, each like its own little art piece. I ordered the baked cheesecake with a drink and Etsuna got the parfait drink.

Coji-Coji Is Here Cheesecake (w/Drink) – ¥1,380 (Before Tax)

The cheesecake is topped with Coji-Coji and Mount Fuji cookies. You can get a Maruko-chan cookie instead of Coji-Coji too, but I went for the Coji-Coji one. The cheesecake has a refreshing taste with cream that’s not overly sweet. And when you add the berry sauce, it becomes a completely different delicious flavour.

I ordered a hot black coffee as part of the set, and the mug it was serve in had an original design on it in line with the cafe’s theme. You can buy these mugs new there too.

Onigiri Aliens & The Star Festival Parfait – ¥1,700 (Before Tax)

This drink is inspired by the Milky Way of Tanabata. It’s topped with Maruko-chan, Coji-Coji, and alien cookies.

Etsuna was spellbound by its gorgeous purple colour too♡

The parfait and drink come in separate vessels、so I recommend enjoying them one at a time. After tucking into the subtly sweet fruits, vanilla ice cream, and cream of your parfait, feel even more refreshed with a sip of your cream cheese-filled drink.

The Three Of Us Get Along – ¥1,880 (Before Tax)

There are plenty of colourful options to choose from the menu, but the one that struck my attention the most was this tomato cream and pumpkin sauce mix which contains seafood.

You get an edible Maruko-chan and Coji-Coji on the side too with tears in their eyes… what a melancholic expression. I feel sad just looking at this one.

The character cookies aren’t just printed on – each and every one is hand drawn carefully. Which means the both of them have lots of different expressions! And they seem such a waste to eat (though of course I ate them all…)

If you want to see what else is on the menu, check out our other article here: https://www.moshimoshi-nippon.jp/ja/289822

 

Mug: ¥1,200 (Before Tax)

The cafe sells its own exclusive merchandise too, like the mug I got when my coffee and cake arrived.

Masking Tapes – ¥350 Each / Ballpoint Pens – ¥600 Each

B6 Notebooks – ¥280 Each

I picked up a notebook, pen and some masking tape. Perfect for when the cherry blossom season starts.

Hand Towel: ¥400 (Before Tax)

Etsuna got her hands on a hand towel. Everything they have in stock is cute, so I urge you to get lost in the wares of the MARUKO & COJICOJI CAFÉ if you visit! It’s possible to book a table in advance, but the weekends are particularly busy, so if you have a day in mind don’t forget to book.

The MARUKO & COJICOJI CAFÉ is packed full of Momoko Sakura’s world. It was a mix of fun, cute, sad, and relaxing.

 

When I’m looking at Chibi Maruko-chan, I think of Sakura, and my chest feels tight and painful. But coming to this cafe made me think that when I look at Maruko-chan and her radiating personality, not just in the world of anime but in various different places, I feel that even if I’ve become an adult, I can always live my life together with Maruko-chan and Momoko Sakura, and that makes me happy. If you love Maruko-chan, Coji-Coji, and Momoko Sakura too, then be sure to jump into the picture book world of Ehon Maru Koji at MARUKO & COJICOJI CAFÉ.

A cafe themed on Eric Carle’s internationally beloved children’s picture book The Very Hungry Caterpillar Cafe is set to open at Sunday Branch in Kichijoji PARCO in Tokyo on April 1, 2020 where it’s set to run for an entire year, ending on March 31, 2021.

 

The picture book has seen its fair share of themed cafes, with the first having taken place in Ginza back in 2018, which was so popular that customers had to book a month in advance to dine there. The cafe was always fully booked.

The franchise also collaborated with multiple branches of J.S. Pancakes from October 2018 to January 2019, and again at Cafe Cucina in Shibuya from March to April last year.

 

Now returning once again, the Kichijoji cafe is set to see a completely new menu.

“Fruit parlour” is the concept of this cafe, which will have a menu line-up centred on the caterpillar’s favourite fruits. The menu will change for each season, ensuring that the fruits themselves are in-season and therefore at their most delicious. It will bring to life the colourful and vivid world of Eric Carle right onto your plate.

 

The menu will also sell “art cookies” which will derive their colour from natural ingredients.

 

The cafe decorations will make for Instagram-worthy posts, the caterpillar himself will be ready to greet customers at tables in the form of plush toys. It will be like stepping into the world of the picture book and will absolutely be enjoyed by kids and adults alike.

 

Sunday Brunch has teamed up with The Very Hungry Caterpillar before, as well as Shaun the Sheep, to open limited-time cafes that were hugely successful. Now the caterpillar is heading to Kichijoji. If you’re travelling to Tokyo between April this year and March this year, don’t miss out on a visit!

The new “LiccA Stylish Doll Collection Little Twin Stars Anniversary Style” is a new Licca-chan doll from Takara Tomy’s made in collaboration with Sanrio and their popular characters Kiki & Lala, aka the Little Twin Stars. Pre-orders for the collection are set to open on February 3, 2020 at four branches of Takara Tomy as well as online at Takara Tomy Mall and the Sanrio online shop. It will be released in June, when it will also hit shelves at select Sanrio shops.

Part of the official LiccA brand of dolls, this collaboration features Licca-chan wearing the Little Twin Stars’ 45th anniversary pastel colours, a mix of Kiki’s pure blue and Lala’s gentle pink. Stars are dotted all over the outfit, including the dress and earrings, and Licca-chan has a hairstyle that’s fluffy like clouds.

Decorating her dress is a print of Kiki and Lala riding a unicorn. Her accessories include a stick with cotton candy on it, a shoe box with Kiki and Lala’s logo on it coloured in rainbow leaf, and more. Everything in the design is a commemoration of Kiki and Lala’s 45th anniversary.

The design for the outfit and hairstyle was chosen in a survey taken by 200 people at Sanrioworld GINZA back in September 2019 which was held to get fans involved with Kiki and Lala’s 45th anniversary.

Kiki & Lala and Licca-chan have been friends since the 80’s when a range of collaborative merchandise was released, such as the Licca-chan doll size Sanrio Gift Gate shop set featuring Kiki & Lala, the Licca-chan outfit with Kiki & Lala designs which was released as part of the “Sanrio Mate” series, and more.

 

If you’re a collector of Licca-chan and Sanrio merchandise, then don’t miss out on this new and very special collaboration.
