I went to a collaboration cafe with the anime “3rd Year Class Z Ginpachi Sensei”! The bento box of the discipline committee member and the cute pudding from Sadaharu [Report]

Welcome back to the I Am Anime website

The anime “3rd Year Class Z Ginpachi Sensei” is waiting for its broadcast in October 2025. A collaboration with Capcom Cafe, where you can enjoy original menus and merchandise, is currently being held at Capcom Cafe Ikebukuro and Umeda stores, ahead of the anime broadcast. This time, we will be bringing you a look at the media tasting event held before the collaboration was held.

■The characters from Ginpachi Sensei are now available on a delicious menu!

The anime “3rd Year Class Ginpachi Sensei” is based on a spin-off novel of “Gintama 3rd Year Class Ginpachi Sensei” (original work by Sorachi Hideaki/author: Osaki Tomohito (published by Shueisha JUMP j BOOKS)). Characters familiar from Gintama go on a rampage at school! When the announcement was made to adapt the anime adaptation of this work, which depicts the slapstick scenes of Ginpachi Sensei and the students with strong personalities, it received a huge response.

At the tasting event, we had a food menu featuring “Disciplinary Committee’s Lunch Box” and “Sparkly Splattered Takasugi Hot Dog”, and a sweet menu featuring “Sasaharu Milk Pudding – Kagura Fruit Punch”!

The “Disciplinary Committee’s Lunch Box” is based on four members of the Disciplinary Committee. The members include Kondo Isao, the chairman of the discipline committee, as well as Hijikata Jushiro, Okita Sogo, and Yamazaki Shigeru. It was a hearty lunch box that lets you enjoy cheese seaweed rice with the word “disciplinary committee member” and a wide variety of side dishes.

Among them, the cherry tomatoes with an eye-catching pattern based on Okita’s eye mask and the coleslaw salad with a mayoyashi Hijikata motif – served with mayonnaise that hides vegetables – makes a huge impact! The crispy fried white fish was also delicious, and the bowls that look like lunch boxes allowed us to enjoy the school feel.

“Sparkling Takasugi Hot Dog” is a menu inspired by Takasugi Shinsuke. The hot dog features Takasugi’s trademark eyepatch in cheese. The crisp and juicy sausage goes perfectly with mustard, which can be bursting in your mouth. As the days continue to be cold, the warmth of the clam chowder soup served with it is also soothing. The salad is colorful with reddish purple Trevis leaves, reminiscent of Takasugi, and blue dressing. The menu was full of vegetables.

Other food menu items include the Shimura Sisters’ Brothers’ Dark Matter Rice (Fried Egg Toji Rice) and the Elizabeth and Katsura Loco Moco Plate.

The sweets feature “Sasaharu Milk Pudding – Kagura Fruit Punch” The pure white milk pudding, like Sadaharu’s furry color, is fluffy with a firm texture. The milk pudding is mildly sweet and has a light taste. The balance with the strawberry sauce and fruit punch included is also exquisite, making it a great choice for those who want to have a refreshing dessert after a meal!

If you’d like to eat a lot of sugar, try ordering another sweet menu item, “Ginpachi’s Favourite Chocolate Crepes.”

There are 10 different drinks in total. This time we sampled “Kagura and Sadaharu Fruity Soda” along with dessert. When mixed, it gives a milky colour, but the mouthfeel is as refreshing as the drink name suggests. It was a much easier drink than I imagined in the photo. There are a variety of menu items that will make you enjoy just by looking at the drink names, such as “Yamazaki Azuki Milk Coffee” and “Okita Spicy Chai,” so be sure to enjoy it when you visit!

■Original goods that can only be obtained here are now available!

The store also featured eight original goods, illustrated by Capcom Cafe. The 3-Z students, including Ginpachi Sensei, have a relaxed atmosphere, appear in cute merchandise. There are eight types of items on sale, from items perfect for school life, such as clear files, name tag keychains, acrylic pen stands, drawstring bags, and flake stickers with pouches, to familiar items of character goods such as social media-style acrylic cards, acrylic keychains, and can badges.

Although not included in this exhibition, there are also many novelties, including the “coaster” that you can get when ordering an original drink, and the “bromide-style postcard” that you can get for every 3,000 yen spent on the cafe menu. Don’t miss out on the many items that can only be found here!

Why not try to enjoy the world of Ginpachi Sensei in collaboration with Capcom Cafe before the anime airing?
