The new store will have a variety of items you can only find in Harajuku, including tote bags, T-shirts, and customizable accessories.

The Harajuku Sanrio Cafe will serve a special menu of fifteen items, with options ranging from themed teas and desserts to full meals like burgers, pasta, and pancakes.

The new Sanrio Store and Cafe recently opened in Harajuku, marking another exciting event in 2025. Hello Kitty, the famous character behind it all, was created by Yuko Shimizu and first appeared on Sanrio coin purses in 1975. Since then, she’s become a globally recognized and cherished cartoon icon, and remains Sanrio’s most popular mascot.

The biggest Hello Kitty announcement of the year is here: a movie is coming to theaters on July 21, 2028! Warner Bros. Animation shared the news on social media, revealing that this will be Hello Kitty’s first time starring in a theatrical film. The movie promises a fun adventure for fans of all ages, featuring Hello Kitty and her friends.

Warner Bros. Animation and New Line Cinema are making a Hello Kitty movie, working with FlynnPictureCo. FlynnPictureCo.’s founder, Beau Flynn, spent almost ten years talking with Sanrio’s founder, Shintaro Tsuji, to get the rights to make the film. Leo Matsuda is directing, and Dana Fox, who wrote the screenplay for Wicked, is currently revising the script. The movie is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 21, 2028.
