A limited-time theme cafe celebrating the Ultraman Series 60th anniversary is opening in Ikebukuro. "Ultraman Pasta Restaurant Ulspa" (ウルトラマン パスタ食堂 ウルスパ) will run from Thursday, July 9 to Monday, August 31, 2026, in conjunction with the "Ultra Heroes EXPO 2026 Summer Festival IN Ikebukuro Sunshine City" event.
The cafe concept is a pasta diner. The key visual features Ultraman's iconic red as the main color, accented with the tricolor of Italy — green, white, and red — to evoke the pasta restaurant atmosphere.
Menu
The food menu draws inspiration from Ultraman, Ultraman Tiga, Ultraman Zero, and Ultraman Teo (a character from the latest installment), as well as monsters from across the Ultraman Series. A dessert inspired by Ultraman's Color Timer and drinks styled after Ultraman's color scheme round out the lineup.
Children under elementary school age receive a ¥300 discount on food items.
