New Gratte Standalone Store Opens Near Animate Ikebukuro!

Exciting News for Anime and Coffee Lovers!

On July 17, 2026, Animate Co., Ltd. will unveil its first-ever standalone Gratte store, aptly named "Animate Gratte Animate Street Store." This new retail location is perfectly positioned just a minute's walk from the main Animate Ikebukuro store and within a five-minute stroll from Ikebukuro Station.

The Animate Gratte Animate Street Store will be located on the popular Animait Street in Higashi-Ikebukuro 1-chome, making it incredibly accessible for fans and customers to enjoy. This unique store will cater to anime enthusiasts and coffee lovers alike, offering a delightful selection of drinks and treats that feature beloved characters.

This unique process is protected by patent rights, ensuring customers enjoy an exclusive experience. Additionally, customers can look forward to indulging in icing cookies that mirror the same creative visuals as the Gratte drinks.

Moreover, guests will have access to graphic ice selections, marking the third location in Tokyo to offer this refreshing treat. The store plans to stock items related to various Gratte collaborations, allowing fans to collect exclusive merchandise that celebrates their favorite series.
