Discover a New Way to Enjoy Coffee at UCC Capsule Coffee Shop

October 10, also known as "UCC Capsule Coffee Day," marks a special event that coffee lovers cannot miss. UCC (Ueshima Coffee Co., Ltd.), based in Kobe, Japan, is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its drip pod system, inviting everyone to experience its finest capsules in a delightful new way. This year, UCC is teaming up with Takara Tomy Arts, a well-known capsule toy brand, to create a new concept called the "Coffee Gacha Cafe."

What is the Coffee Gacha Cafe?

The UCC Capsule Coffee Shop will open for four days from October 10 (Friday) to October 13 (Monday, holiday), where visitors can engage in a unique coffee-gacha experience. The cafe offers 12 varieties of specialty coffee and 4 types of snacks, allowing for 48 potential pairings. Each coffee capsule will be randomly selected through a fun gacha process, ensuring that you encounter new flavors that you may not typically choose.

Exciting Features of the Event

Here are some highlights that you can look forward to:

1. 48 Unique Pairings: Enjoy the chance to experience 48 different flavor combinations as the coffee and snack selections happen completely at random. Whether it’s a fruity cup of coffee or a rich blend, each pairing is designed to enhance the other, making every combination a delightful surprise.

2. Giant Gacha Machine: An imposing giant gacha machine, about 20 times larger than regular machines, will be set up at the cafe. This exciting feature has been created uniquely for this event, making it a must-try experience.

3. Exclusive Coffee Capsules: Attendees who share their experiences on social media can receive special coffee capsules that differ from those available in the standard set, paired with snacks that complement the flavors wonderfully.

4. A Variety of Coffee Flavors: The coffee lineup boasts 12 different kinds, from fruity and rare specialty coffees to rich, deep blends. You may just discover a new favorite that you never would have tried otherwise!

The Collaboration with Takara Tomy Arts

This event celebrates the 60th anniversary in Japan for the gacha toy sensation, which is rooted in fun and surprise. Working with Takara Tomy Arts helps to bring a unique, playful twist to the coffee experience, encouraging participants to be adventurous with their coffee choices.

By embracing the philosophy of serendipity, the UCC Capsule Coffee Shop aims to introduce people to the delightful versatility of coffee through its capsule selection.
