This limited-time event celebrates the release of the series’ sixth installment, "Bread Thief and the Apple Gang."

Cafe Menu

All prices include tax

Apple Gang Stew Rice (With Drink Set: 2,970 yen) – This dish features the main character of the new book, creatively rendered with turmeric rice and tomato powder for the body. The character’s eyes, beak, wings, and feet are made of icing cookies. It’s served with a mushroom cream stew, enriched with bacon and apples.
Bad Hot Dog (With Drink Set: 2,750 yen) – A renewed version of a previously popular menu item, this "Bad Hot Dog" is topped with meat sauce and cheese, finished with a drizzle of orange mustard mayonnaise sauce. It comes with a side of salad and potatoes.
Grape Bread Apple-Rich French Toast (With Drink Set: 2,530 yen) – Another returning favorite, this updated version of the "Grape Bread French Toast" features baked apple and raisin French toast, topped with ice cream. The Bread Thief’s entranced expression, depicted on the accompanying cookie, is sure to charm.
Zukoo Fruit Koppe Bread (With Drink Set: 2,970 yen) – This fruit-filled Koppe bread includes seasonal fruits such as kiwi, apple, and strawberry, along with whipped cream. The "Zukoo" expression of the Bread Thief, as seen in the picture book, is replicated on a cookie served alongside. The dish is accompanied by a salad and potatoes.
Onigiri Boy’s Creamy Fruit Ramune (Single Item: 1,980 yen) – This visually striking dessert features a cookie shaped like the rolling form of Suttenton Korokorokoro. It’s a Ramune soda combined with a medley of fruits (lemon, orange, kiwi, cherry, strawberry), ice cream, and whipped cream.
