New Nanacafe Locations Launching in Tokyo

In an exciting development for dessert lovers, Nanacafe is expanding its beloved concept into Tokyo with two new stores slated to open simultaneously in Harajuku and Togoshi Ginza. Represented by Nanako Corporation, led by CEO Ryuki Koshikawa, the cafes aim to provide an immersive experience of traditional Japanese sweets in a modern, visually appealing setting.

About Nanacafe

Founded in August 2023 in Narita's Omotesando area, Nanacafe has quickly gained popularity for its "wagamama" (Japanese-style) dango, which fuses traditional Japanese flavors with contemporary aesthetics. The current flagship store in Narita draws in crowds, with reports of selling up to 3,000 dango daily. The upcoming cafes in Tokyo will retain the same unique offerings that have attracted both local fans and international visitors alike.

Harajuku Location

Opening in mid-April 2025, the Harajuku branch of Nanacafe sits right in the vibrant heart of one of Tokyo's trendiest districts, known for its eclectic fashion and culture. Designed as a modern interpretation of traditional Japanese aesthetics, it stands as an ideal spot for young people to indulge in delicious, Instagram-worthy sweets. Highlights include:

• - Live Dango Making: Patrons can witness the exciting process of dango being made fresh in front of them.
• - Photo Opportunities: With delightful interior design and cute sweet presentations, this venue promises to be very Instagram-friendly.
• - Central Location: Conveniently located just a 3-minute walk from Harajuku Station, making it an ideal stop for tourists and locals alike.

Both new locations will feature the best of Nanacafe’s menu, including:

• - Japanese Sweet Drinks
• - Seasonal Specials (including summer kakigori)

Every piece of dango is hand-crafted in front of customers, allowing them to savor the warmth and flavor of freshly prepared treats.

Background of the New Openings

Since opening in Narita, Nanacafe has attracted interest from young consumers and tourists alike via social media platforms, becoming a go-to destination. The decision to open locations in two culturally distinct areas of Tokyo stems from a desire to share the unique experience of Japanese confections and the cultural significance behind them.

Founder’s Insights

Ryuki Koshikawa, the CEO of Nanako Corporation, expressed his excitement, saying, "Nanacafe originated from my childhood love for grilled dango and my ambition to share it with others. With these two new locations, we hope to infuse the essence of Narita while creating inviting ‘wa’ (harmony) spaces fitting to each neighborhood."
