SNACK: 3-line summary
- The Mushishi Exhibition café has revealed five food and drink items inspired by the manga’s stories.
- The menu will be served October 31–November 30, 2026, at Gallery Zenon in Kichijoji, Tokyo.
- Both the café and merchandise area require an exhibition ticket; food and drinks cost extra.
Moss soaked in Mushishi’s fictional life-water becomes a matcha pancake, while a cloud-like creature takes shape as cotton candy in a drink. These are two of the dishes coming to Gallery Zenon in Kichijoji, Tokyo, from October 31, 2026, alongside the Mushishi Exhibition: Tokyo Return / FINAL. An exhibition ticket is required to use the café, and food and drinks are charged separately.
Snackgirls react
Kirari: That green matcha moss next to the white cotton-candy cloud—I’d want to fit both in one photo before picking up my fork!
Nea: I’d like to reread Suzuri ni Sumu Shiro with the drink’s wooden bookmark tucked into the book. It’s a small connection to the story I’d enjoy keeping after the exhibition.
Moss-green pancakes and a cloud made of cotton candy
The five-item menu draws on individual stories and their imagery, with an accompanying bonus for each dish or drink. All prices below include tax.
- Midori no Za — ¥1,480: A Japanese-style pancake topped with matcha powder and matcha Mont Blanc cream evokes moss soaked in the story’s fictional life-water. A celebratory drink accompanies it, with alcoholic and nonalcoholic options; choosing nonalcoholic reduces the price by ¥110. An AR card is included.
- Kagari no Kou — ¥880: Genmaicha tea is served with bubu arare rice crackers, which can be sprinkled into the tea or eaten separately. Includes a sticker.
- Omoi Mi — ¥1,780: A set meal recalls the abundant harvest brought to a village by the fictional Narazu fruit. Includes a special chopstick sleeve illustrated on both sides.
- Suzuri ni Sumu Shiro — ¥1,280: Cotton candy represents the manga’s cloud-like creature, paired with konpeito sugar candy and a lactic-acid drink. Includes a wooden bookmark.
- Hanamadoi — ¥1,180: Jelly containing cherry-blossom petals is combined with sakura-syrup soda and strong Earl Grey tea, evoking the flowers of the story’s bewitching tree. Includes a sticker.
The AR card can be used for photos with a camera-equipped smartphone or tablet. Menu photos are illustrative, and dishes may vary with ingredient availability.
