Overview
AKIBA PC Hotline! walked around Akihabara in late July 2026 and reported limited-time restaurant promotions and small local finds, ranging from an Osaka specialty rarely sold in the Kanto region to a joint campaign between two very different shops and a VTuber collaboration.
Highlights
551 Horai ice candy
Karaoke Pasela Akihabara Showa-dori was selling 551 Horai ice candy. 551 Horai, known for its pork buns, has no stores in the Kanto region, so buying it over the counter in Tokyo is unusual.
Joint cafe and soba campaign
Ginza Oranda Mame Akihabara, a smoking-friendly cafe, and Minogasa Kanda Izumicho ran a joint campaign offering a coffee discount after eating soba.
VTuber collaboration bento
AKIHABARA BENTO sold a collaboration bento and drinks with independent VTuber Aoma Nahiro, running through Sunday, August 9.
Other restaurant promotions
- McDonald's outlets sold the limited-time Pokemon 30th Anniversary Burger, with 28 kinds of B5 posters displayed across stores
- Karaoke Manekineko Akihabara ran a Galaxy Express Milky Subway collaboration campaign through September 6, with collaboration drinks and goods for karaoke customers
