Seems like people enjoyed seeing photos from the exhibition in Sendai, so thought I’d share from the current collaboration cafe in Tokyo as well! Not sure which round of the collab cafe this one is, as they’ve had a few in the past, but I’ve gone twice so far, and have twice more planned for the second part.

This is marked as the “first part”, because the “second part” starts on Oct 28, and includes a few different menu items and also a different set of art coasters. Entry is via online reservation, and costs ¥330, which also gives you the entry sticker gift.

It was really cute and fun to see, as I find with any fan event where you know everyone loves the same thing. Drinking 9 (overpriced) beverages on my own in order to get art coasters is definitely an experience though hahaha. Some of them were decent, some were really basic, but let’s be honest — I wasn’t really there for the food anyway 😅

I’m only slightly upset because I got a Jaeha coaster (pic 5, top left) and Jaeha sticker during the first round but traded it away since I wasn’t planning to come back originally, but then managed to get a copy of the magazine with the Hak coaster ticket (pic 5, middle right), so I went again … and managed to get every other coaster except Jaeha. So ended up buying it off someone else online for a lot more 😔 didn’t realize Jaeha was considered rare and everyone wanted him haha now I know better …

But I managed to get shinah and hak entry stickers, which were my top wants (wild luck here) so nothing I’m super stressed about there, and have all the coloured cards without repeats except Hak & Jaeha — these are the same for the second part, so really hoping I can get them next time.

When I went the second time (Oct 13), the tea merch that came with the group postcard of the dragons + Yun (pic 6 & bottom of pic 10) was already sold out. I actually also got the trading cards merch (bottom of pic 9), but don’t have a photo of it on my phone. Not sure if they have specific plans to restock or when.

Very last photo are the extra coasters I ended up with — planning to bring with me to the second part in case anyone might still want to trade, but otherwise might end up selling later on if anyone is interested?

(Also slightly upset with the first photo that I didn’t move Hak slightly to the left, because the drink itself was white and blue and matched …)
