FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Akihabara-based maid cafe @home cafe (“at-home cafe”) will present a special Hello Kitty collaboration cafe from January 21 – March 29, 2020.

The limited-time event is the sixth year in a row that @home cafe has teamed with Sanrio to create original collaboration dishes, shop interiors, and collectible merchandise for the “masters and princesses” who visit the world-famous cafe from around the world.

@home cafe’s Legendary Maid Hitomi has once again designed the colorful menu and maid outfits that will be presented during the @home cafe x Sanrio event.

“We hope we can create a dreamingly joyful experience at our maid cafe, especially since 2020 is an Olympic year in Tokyo,” said Hitomi. “We’re so excited that Hello Kitty and her twin sister Mimmy are joining us this year!”

Since 2015, @home cafe has featured Sanrio characters such as My Melody, Cinnamoroll, and Pompompurin in special designs created as a treat for fans. For 2020, Sanrio has designed a special “moe” version of Hello Kitty and Mimmy wearing @home cafe’s maid uniforms.

The @home cafe x Hello Kitty collaboration includes menu items such as “Hello Kitty Kawaii♡Pink Curry Rice”, a “Hello Kitty Moe Moe Parfait”, and limited edition character merchandise including a lunch tote, keychain, and deluxe hand mirror.
