Detective Pikachu-themed drinks, food, and merchandise to come to Pronto cafés in Japan from October 12th

A new menu inspired by Detective Pikachu Returns is coming to Italian-style Japanese coffee chain Pronto next week from October 12th, remaining available until December 10th. To celebrate the new game, Pronto has revealed a selection of three new drinks with Autumn flavors and four new set meals, as well a collection of original exclusive merchandise that will be available exclusively in-store at Pronto locations across Japan.

In addition, the following five Pronto stores will be getting special decorations along with their new menu:

• New Chitose Airport
• Akihabara North Exit
• Ginza Corridor
• Umeda Rakutenchi Building
• Fukuoka Shintencho locations.

Based on Pronto’s store makeovers for their 2022 collaboration with Netflix's Stranger Things, customers can expect the Detective Pikachu Returns theming of these stores to be quite extensive.



Items available for sale in each Pronto location will include an insulated tote bag, a thermos, and a café apron, all of which feature Pikachu designs, along with a coffee mug featuring Detective Pikachu. Pronto has also put together a Detective Pikachu inspired ground coffee blend, sourced from Ethiopia and Brazil and described as a “strong coffee flavor, with less bitterness.”

On top of this exclusive merchandise, Pronto is also offering special freebies with every order of the new themed drinks or food. Every drink purchased will come with one of 21 special sparkling souvenir cards, while food orders will come with one of nine acrylic keychains. Both sets including items featuring Pikachu, Detective Pikachu, and the Pokémon that inspired the above food and drinks.


Pronto is also hosting a giveaway promo on their official X (formerly Twitter) account, beginning October 12th and ending November 1st. Fans following Pronto’s account and who retweet the promotional Tweet (to be tweeted on the 12th) will be entered to win one of three prizes; the full set of sparkling cards given away with drink orders, the full set of acrylic keychains given away with food orders, and a set that contains the Detective Pikachu mug and ground coffee available for sale. Ten of each prize will be given away.
