The campaign 'UMEZZ GUWASHI CARNIVAL 2026' has been announced, spanning the entire town of Kichijoji!
kawara CAFE&KITCHEN Kichijoji PARCO will offer a collaboration menu for a limited time from May 1 (Fri) to May 31 (Sun), 2026. We have prepared a unique lineup of menus available only during this event, inspired by the representative works of Kazuo Umezu.
The lineup of seven items includes the 'Guwashi! Makoto-chan Lunch Plate,' a satisfying plate filled with the world of 'Makoto-chan' on a placemat reminiscent of the artist's trademark red-and-white border shirt, featuring classic favorites like fried shrimp, Neapolitan spaghetti, and octopus-shaped wieners. Another highlight is the 'The Drifting Classroom: Desert Survival Curry,' a slightly spicy and flavorful dry curry inspired by the desert in 'The Drifting Classroom,' using cumin powder to realistically represent the desert on the plate.
For sweets, we offer 'Orochi’s Eye Cream Sandwich,' which represents the impressive eyes from 'Orochi' with sliced strawberries, accompanied by rose petals and bright berry sauce to recreate the unique aesthetic world of the work. The 'Innocent First Love: Marin’s Pure White Pudding' is a gorgeous dessert plate inspired by Marin from 'Watashi wa Shingo,' expressing her innocent first love and cuteness with pure white milk pudding and colorful fruits. A letter attached to the plate might even contain a secret code addressed to Satoru.
The drink menu features 'Red Latte,' 'Red Soda,' and 'Red Amazake' (1,078 yen each, tax included), inspired by Umezu's iconic stripes. The red ingredient used is 'Beets,' often called 'drinkable blood,' which is expected to have detoxifying, antioxidant, and constipation-relieving effects. Enjoy three different flavors: milk, Calpis soda, and sweet sake.
During busy hours, a 2-hour limit will be enforced (90-minute limit on weekends and holidays).
