The Prince of Tennis franchise is set to return to collaboration cafe form, with Chugai Grace Cafe locations in Shibuya and Osaka preparing to host a limited-time event based on the series ‘New Prince of Tennis’. The announcement, made by Chugai Grace Cafe’s operator on April 17, 2026, confirms the cafe will run from May 3 to May 31, 2026, at both the Shibuya Modi 7F location and the Namba Marui 1F Osaka store.
According to the official press release distributed by Chugai Grace Cafe, the collaboration will feature original artwork created specifically for the event, which will be used on new merchandise including acrylic figure stands and desk plates resembling reservation tickets. Additional original goods, such as BIG acrylic stands available through online channels, will as well be sold during the collaboration period.
The Shibuya location will offer a themed afternoon tea set inspired by character Keigo Atobe, dubbed the “Atobe Kingdom (Kingdom) Afternoon Tea Set”, priced at 2,864 yen before tax (3,150 yen including tax). Other menu items highlighted in the announcement include Handzu Kunimitsu’s “Handzu Zone Eel Tea Burger” at 1,864 yen before tax (2,050 yen including tax) and Shusuke Fuji’s “Star Fireworks Jelly” at 910 yen before tax (1,000 yen including tax).
For the Osaka location, which operates as a takeout-only store, the collaboration will feature a menu item described as a “Handzu Zone Eel Tea Pickle-style Soft Cream”, though specific pricing for Osaka-exclusive items was not detailed in the verified sources. Both locations will begin accepting reservations on different dates: Shibuya Modi store will open lottery applications on April 17, 2026 at 5:00 PM JST, with results announced starting April 21, 2026 at 12:00 PM JST, followed by first-come-first-served seating beginning April 22, 2026 at 5:00 PM JST. The Osaka store will begin first-come-first-served service one day earlier, on April 18, 2026 at 5:00 PM JST.
As part of the collaboration, Chugai Grace Cafe will also run a campaign where customers who visit the cafe can enter a lottery to win display posters featuring artwork from the series. The official collaboration website, hosted at chugai-grace-cafe.jp, provides further details on menu items, merchandise, and reservation procedures for both locations.
The ‘New Prince of Tennis’ series, which serves as the sequel to the original ‘Prince of Tennis’ manga and anime, continues to maintain an active presence in collaborative events across Japan. This cafe collaboration represents one of several recent partnerships between the franchise and food and beverage establishments, following previous collaborations with venues hosting themes from other series such as ‘TRIGUN STARGAZE’, which ran at the same Chugai Grace Cafe locations in April 2026.
With the collaboration set to begin in just over two weeks, fans of the series looking to participate are advised to monitor the official Chugai Grace Cafe website for updates on reservation availability and any potential changes to the schedule or menu offerings. The event will conclude on May 31, 2026, at both locations.
