Rejoice, Rilakkuma fans!

Japan’s second Rilakkuma café has opened! And it is located in Miyajima, Hiroshima where the famous and sacred Ikutsushima Shrine (the shrine with floating gate) is. The café gives you more reasons to visit.

Using carefully selected ingredients such as the local produce of oysters and lemons, special dishes are prepared for customers.

Miyajima Rilakkuma Sabo is not only one of the most novel commercial developments of the Rilakkuma franchise by San-X in recent times but also draws inspiration from traditional Japanese “wa” culture and local Hiroshima and Setouchi dishes like oysters, eel, and lemon.

Visitors to the restaurant can try such character-themed meals as the Rilakkuma Anago and Oyster Tempura set, Kiiroitori Fried Oyster Curry, and Korilakkuma Setouchi Lemon Chiffon Cake. Prices start at just a few hundred yen for a snack to ¥1,580 for the eel and oyster set. There are full meals as well as desserts and, inevitably, original merchandise items on sale. As such, the Miyajima Rilakkuma Sabo is a teahouse, cafe, restaurant, and souvenir store all in one!
