Kirby Café and Store set to open in Osaka (UPDATE)

Back in 2023, Nintendo opened Kirby Café Petit in Osaka, Japan. These locations are a bit different from traditional Kirby Café locations, as they offer a smaller selection of what you’d find at full-fledged locations, and they only stick around for a limited time. It seems like Kirby Café Petit in Osaka went over extremely well, as things are about to get bigger and better in the area.

It’s been announced that an official Kirby Café is going to open in Osaka as a permanent fixture. This newest Kirby Café locations will be opening shop on the 9th floor of the main building of Daimaru Shinsaibashi, although no specific opening date has been shared.

Along with the Kirby Café Osaka comes Kirby Care The Store Osaka as well, which is opening in the same space. Just as you’d expect, the Café part of this experience focuses on food, while the Store will let Kirby fans scoop up all kinds of merch, and yes, that includes some exclusives you won’t find at other Kirby Café locations.

Once more details on this location are shared, including info on meals, merch and opening dates, we’ll make sure to let you know.

UPDATE: Kirby Café Osaka has its grand opening locked in, and it’ll take place on November 21, 2024. Along with that, some special menu items have been revealed as well:

• Waddle Dee Okonomiyaki Burger with Meat Pasta – ¥2,288
