One of the most charming points of the anime March Comes In Like a Lion (3-gatsu no Lion), and Chica Umono’s manga on which it is based, is all the lovely home-cooking by the eldest Kawamoto sister, Akari. You can almost taste the love and warmth that goes into each dish.

You can enjoy such cooking at the March Comes in Like a Lion Dining which is opening in Osaka and Saitama for a limited time. The menu includes the egg and rice porridge that Akari made for Rei when he was sick, as well as ice-cream from the fictional sweets shop Mikazuki-dou. All visitors will receive one of 3 special luncheon mats, but hurry as once they are gone they are gone!

Those of you who can’t make it to Osaka or Saitama, you can still enjoy the pictures, including the special illustrations made for the cafe. Each of the characters look like they have stepped out of Alice in Wonderland. Even the Nyan-shogi have joined in!
