There’s no better time than to bask in the Jujutsu Kaisen hype. Not only is the second half of the anime’s second season adapting one of the most anticipated manga arcs, a recent chapter also got fans in a frenzy of emotions. In that spirit, various BOX cafe&space outlets will bring a themed experience to Japan starting 19 October.
The Jujutsu Kaisen Café is set to feature exclusive menu items inspired by characters from the series, including a Sukuna Finger Hot Dog and a Prison Realm Tiramisu.

Gems Shibuya’s BOX cafe&space is the first to host the collaboration. Running from 19 October to 21 January 2024, it will later grace the 109 building in Shibuya between 16 November to 21 January next year. The popular Tokyo district is, of course, chosen specifically to coincide with the setting for the Shibuya Incident Arc.
Those in Osaka, meanwhile, can look forward to welcoming the Jujutsu Kaisen Café at the HEP Five shopping mall from 26 October to 28 January. Between 26 October and 17 December, it will grace the Nagoya Lachic Second Store as well.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 is currently airing on Crunchyroll and various streaming platforms, depending on region. The finale releases tomorrow, 6 October, in Japan, marking the end of a 11-episode run that premiered on 6 July. The first half covered the events of Gojo’s Past Arc, while the Shibuya Incident Arc served as the focus for the latter six episodes.
