Highlights

  • One Piece, a popular anime and manga series, now has tasty, character-themed cakes available in Japan from Cake.jp.
  • Each cake is inspired by a character’s image colors and comes in a glass jar with special art on the outside.
  • While ten flavors can be purchased online, the other seven can only be found in special vending machines in select locations.

As a long-time fan of One Piece, I can’t help but feel excited about this latest collaboration between Cake.jp and the beloved anime series. The idea of being able to purchase character-inspired cakes that not only look amazing but also taste delicious is an absolute dream come true for me.

One of the most widely-loved anime and manga series globally is “One Piece,” which has been thrilling audiences since 1999. Featuring Luffy and his crew, this epic sea voyage filled with endless adventures shows no signs of slowing down. With over 1,100 episodes in the anime and an equivalent number of chapters in the manga, “One Piece” has deeply embedded itself into Japanese pop culture. Its impact is noticeable in numerous aspects of society if you pay close attention.

It’s no wonder, given its immense popularity in Japan, that an abundance of One Piece merchandise is readily available. Partnerships with this iconic anime are commonplace, resulting in a wide range of offerings from permanent fitness centers to transient pop-up shops. Most recently, a new collaboration has emerged, combining the charm of One Piece with culinary delights. For a limited period, you can buy One Piece-themed cakes from special vending machines throughout Japan.

New “One Piece” cakes from Cake.jp, a renowned Japanese cake company, are now available in Japan. Known for their anime-themed sweets, Cake.jp has previously released numerous collaboration desserts. The newest addition to their collection showcases the “One Piece” cast, with 17 distinct cakes based on each character’s color scheme (red for Luffy, green for Zoro, etc.). Additionally, these cakes boast unique artwork on their containers, depicting characters dressed in attire from the Egghead Arc of the anime.

Seventeen cakes offer for sale online include ten varieties. Buyers in Japan can easily obtain these ten cake types through internet purchasing. Here are the ten flavors and their corresponding characters up for grabs online:

  • Strawberry shortcake (Luffy)
  • Pistachio (Zoro)
  • Orange (Nami)
  • Lemon (Usopp)
  • Grape (Sanji)
  • Strawberry (Chopper)
  • Blueberry cheesecake (Robin)

  • Chocolate parfait (Jinbe)

In clear and conversational style: Each glass jar holds a stacked cake with distinctive decoration on its exterior. These cakes come in various flavors, featuring alternating layers of cake, fruit, and other delicious components. To preserve their freshness, they are kept frozen inside tightly sealed jars. Once defrosted, these delightful treats are ready to be savored.

Certainly, there’s no true collaboration without uniqueness. The ten flavors listed earlier are accessible online. However, the exclusive seven flavors are only available through unique vending machines. These machines, which are scarcely located in Japan, are your sole option to acquire all the special “One Piece” collaboration cakes. As reported by SoraNews24, these elusive machines can be found exclusively at the following locations:

Now in Tokyo, you can find One Piece cake vending machines operational at Marui department stores in Machida, Kokubunji, and Kichijoji, as well as Soka Marui in Saitama. Additionally, these machines are also available at Modi department stores in Totsuka, Kanagawa, and Kashiwa, Chiba.

To buy one of the unique flavors, you need to obtain one of the machines offering these limited editions. The exclusive flavors include grape sundae (Luffy’s Gear 5), strawberry shortcake (Straw Hat Pirates’ icon pattern), and chocolate (Dr. Vegapunk and cats pattern). Additionally, there are three mystery trifles, which come with character wanted posters. The last three flavors are sold randomly; you can only choose a wanted poster at the machine and discover the flavor upon purchase.

As a gamer with a sweet tooth: I’ve discovered these cakes going for 1000 yen each, which is quite reasonable for those seeking a unique dessert experience. And the added bonus? The character art adorning the glass jars makes for an awesome keepsake even after finishing the treat! You can grab one now in Japan, either online or from vending machines. No word yet on when they might run out of stock.
