Horimiya

Horimiya is in the middle of a 15th anniversary project built around two event series: a cafe tied to Katagiri High School's cultural festival and a strawberry-themed pop-up shop. The first merchandise wave for the pop-up shop was announced ahead of its December 4, 2026 opening, with the shop running across four cities into April 2027.

Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated 2h ago

Horimiya's 15th anniversary has taken shape as two linked event series rather than a single campaign. The first is a cafe themed after Katagiri High School's cultural festival, with Daisuke Hagiwara drawing one of two main visuals; it runs in Tokyo from October 14 to December 27, 2026, and in Osaka from November 25, 2026 to February 7, 2027. A separate cafe event starts October 14. The second is a pop-up shop with a strawberry motif, for which Hagiwara drew the other main visual, opening in December 2026 across four cities: Tokyo, Fukuoka, Aichi, and Osaka.

Merchandise details followed the venue announcement. The first wave for the Horimiya 15th POP UP SHOP includes acrylic stand keychains with newly drawn strawberry-motif illustrations, hand-signed reproduction original art by HERO and Daisuke Hagiwara, and Hori and Miyamura plush mascots designed by HERO. The shop opens Friday, December 4, 2026 at Yurakucho Marui and other venues.

The four-city run stretches into April 2027, and pricing, per-venue lineups, and the full wave structure have not been detailed in the stories so far.
