The event offers eight original food and drink items, including the Manly Stamina Meat Bowl, the Greedy Dim Sum Set, the Happy Birthday Big Bro plate, a Galaxy Parfait, Cheers Beer, Post-Stream Break Fruit Tea, Big Bang Soda, and Jasmine-Scented Paumu's Healing Milk Tea. Each food or drink order comes with a random original coaster from six types, while supplies last. The menu is available for both dine-in and takeout, with takeout served in dedicated containers. The cafe will also sell original goods, such as acrylic stands, glitter can badges, acrylic blocks, sticker sets, trading cards, a T-shirt, and acrylic panels, plus made-to-order items including big acrylic stands, Charafine Graphs, and life-size panels. Purchases of 3,000 yen or more per transaction earn a random pass-style satin sticker from two types. The Osaka location, E-ANI -EDITH ANIME SHOP-, will not serve the food or distribute food novelties. Business hours are 11:00 to 20:00 at E-DINER, with possible changes and numbered tickets during busy periods.","whyItMatters":"The event extends the birthday celebration across a full menu and merchandise lineup, with the Osaka pop-up selling goods only, a split that lets the collaboration reach two cities without duplicating the full cafe experience.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe cafe is the work of EDITH Inc., run by president Shunpei Mori, and operates out of the company\u0026#39;s IP collaboration shop E-DINER.
