CURE MAID CAFÉ is celebrating Kotori Minami's September 12 birthday with a limited-time collaboration cafe, the Love Live! Kotori Minami Birthday Cafe 2026, running from Friday, August 28 to Sunday, September 13, 2026.
The lineup includes collaboration food, sweets, and drinks, plus a "collaboration-exclusive card" bonus (12 types in all) available with every collaboration menu order. New merchandise is also arriving, featuring a newly drawn illustration in a Dirndl-inspired style that doubles as this year's main visual, including large acrylic stands and a full-color mug sold ahead of general release.
Merchandise purchases and reservations also count toward the card bonus, so it's worth checking out even for guests who are only there for the goods.
In the same building, the 1F store Gran Entasu is holding the Love Live! Pop-Up Store — Marine Collection — at the same time, making it easy to enjoy both together.

For guests who can't finish every drink in one visit, drink tickets are also sold separately: ¥880 (tax included) for in-store or terrace use, or ¥864 (tax included) for takeout. Choose in-store/terrace or takeout at the time of purchase, since exchanges aren't available afterward. During the collaboration period, each ticket can be exchanged for one collaboration drink, and the card bonus is handed out when the ticket is purchased. Tickets are valid only at CURE MAID CAFÉ and cannot be refunded, exchanged for cash, or given as change; a ticket without a stamp on the back, or presented after the exchange period, is invalid. If congestion leads to a numbered-ticket system, a numbered ticket will be required to exchange a drink ticket for a drink, so an early visit is recommended, especially in the second half of the event.
Collaboration-Exclusive Cards (12 Types)
Order one collaboration menu item (drink tickets count) and receive one random card from a set of 12 collaboration-exclusive cards. Ordering all 12 collaboration menu items in a single check, or combining menu orders with merchandise purchases, can complete the full set. Bonuses for items ordered inside CURE MAID CAFÉ are handed out at the bonus counter on the same floor — ask staff at the storefront for its location.
Example distributions:
Order 4 menu items and buy ¥8,000 (tax included) of merchandise → 8 cards
Order 6 menu items and buy ¥12,000 (tax included) of merchandise → 12 cards (a complete set)
Card size: 91mm x 55mm
The design cannot be selected (random)
Distribution ends once cards run out
Receipts cannot be combined with the 1F Gran Entasu's Love Live! Pop-Up Store — Marine Collection —
Merchandise purchases also earn bonus cards: spending ¥2,000 (tax included) on Love Live! series merchandise — through purchase or reservation — at CURE MAID CAFÉ, the same floor, or G-Store Akiba earns one random collaboration-exclusive card.
Entasu Cure Terrace
The Onoden Building 4F eat-in space, Entasu Cure Terrace, lets guests view the collaboration display while enjoying items from the drink menu. The consumption tax rate there differs from the cafe, so let staff know when using this space.
Merchandise
A merchandise corner sells Love Live! series items throughout the collaboration period, and guests may enter for merchandise shopping alone. Post-event mail order opens at 6:00 PM on September 10, 2026; orders placed by 12:00 PM on September 17, 2026 come with the same collaboration bonus offered at the cafe, while general sales after that date do not include the bonus.
