The first collab cafe featuring Daizo (だいぞう), the official character of DAISO, is coming to Tokyo and Osaka. The limited-time cafe runs from Thursday, October 22 to Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at two locations at the same time: RAKU CAFE Ikebukuro Store 1 (RAKU CAFE 池袋1号店) in Toshima-ku, Tokyo, and RAKU CAFE Shinsaibashi Store 1 (RAKU CAFE 心斎橋1号店) in Chuo-ku, Osaka.
Daizo is an official character who conveys the appeal and excitement of DAISO. Through official social media, a web comic, various events and original goods, Daizo has continued to grow as an IP of Daiso Industries. The cafe, called Daizo Cafe "Happy Pokapoka Paradise" (「だいぞう」カフェ ～はっぴーぽかぽかぱらだいす～), is the first collab cafe where visitors can experience Daizo's world.
It is a collaboration with RAKU CAFE, which is operated by the Gokurakuyu Group (極楽湯グループ). Visitors can enjoy newly drawn illustrations themed on hot springs and relaxation, along with original food and drinks, limited goods and events.
