Sacred Site, Closes in December 2026","summary":"The permanent Ensemble Stars!-themed café CAFÉ CINNAMON in Ikebukuro will end its project on December 29, 2026, after about five and a half years. The closure is due to aging of the tenant and facilities. The café, which faithfully recreates the in-game café, opened in May 2021 and operates on a reservation system.","why_it_matters":"The closure removes a rare permanent fan pilgrimage site that faithfully recreated an in-game setting without explicit branding, a format that had sustained a dedicated community for over five years.","published_at":"2026-05-26T04:30:57.000Z","source_count":1,"sources":["Nijimen"],"citations":[{"source":"Nijimen","title":"Ikebukuro's \"CAFÉ CINNAMON\" to Close on December 29, 2026: The \"Ensemble Stars!\" Fans' Sacred Site Ends Its Approximately 5.5-Year History","url":"https://nijimen.kusuguru.co.jp/topics/617713"}],"license_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","entities":{"anime_titles":["あんさんぶるスターズ！！"],"manga_titles":[],"studios":[],"people":[],"type":"news","domain":"other","is_roundup":false}}}
