Nijigen no Mori launches NARUTO birthday drinks at GRAND CHARIOT

Nijigen no Mori’s GRAND CHARIOT Hokuto Shichisei 135° in Awaji, Japan, is selling two limited-time NARUTO collaboration drinks from June 9 through Aug. 31, 2026, for guests staying in its themed anime rooms. The menu marks the first original food-and-drink offering tied to the resort’s NARUTO collaboration rooms and includes character coasters with each purchase.

Why it matters: - The limited menu gives NARUTO fans a new on-site experience tied to Itachi Uchiha’s June 9 birthday and Sasuke Uchiha’s July 23 birthday. - The drinks are exclusive to guests staying in GRAND CHARIOT Hokuto Shichisei 135°’s NARUTO collaboration rooms, adding another paid perk to the themed lodging. - The release is the first original menu created for the popular collaboration rooms, signaling a deeper push to turn anime stays into a fuller hospitality product.

What happened: - GRAND CHARIOT Hokuto Shichisei 135°, Nijigen no Mori’s official luxury villa in Awajishima Anime Park, will offer the “Uchiha Brothers GRAND CHARIOT Collaboration Drink.” - The drinks go on sale Tuesday, June 9, and run through Monday, Aug. 31, 2026. - The offer is limited to guests staying in the “NARUTO” collaboration rooms “Hokage’s Villa” and “‘Akatsuki’ Cocoon.” - Guests who stay on Aug. 31 may order through Sept. 1.

The details: - The Sasuke Uchiha drink, “千鳥 – Chidori –,” is a ramune-based drink with a cool blue appearance. - The Chidori drink includes popping candy for a sparkling sensation and sound. - The Itachi Uchiha drink, “月読 – Tsukuyomi –,” layers black cassis syrup with white grape juice. - When mixed, the Tsukuyomi drink turns deep crimson, echoing the Sharingan. - Each drink costs 1,210 yen, tax included. - Guests who buy the Sasuke drink receive an original Sasuke coaster. - Guests who buy the Itachi drink receive an original Itachi coaster. - Guests who buy both drinks receive one coaster featuring Sasuke and one featuring Itachi. - One bonus item is provided per drink purchased. - Bonus items are available while supplies last.

Between the lines: - The menu uses character-specific colors, textures and effects to translate anime traits into a hotel beverage format. - The resort is leveraging birthday timing, which creates a built-in fan hook and a clearer reason to visit during the summer window. - The first-menu framing suggests Nijigen no Mori is still expanding how it monetizes the NARUTO collaboration beyond room design alone.

What’s next: - The drinks will remain available through Aug. 31, 2026, with the late order exception for overnight guests checking out after that date. - The limited coaster giveaway means demand could matter as much as the drink itself, especially if supplies run out. - Guests booking the themed rooms can also pair the drinks with the existing NARUTO room experience, including recreated scenes, character-based interiors and exclusive goods.

The bottom line: - Nijigen no Mori is turning its NARUTO collaboration rooms into a more complete fan stay by adding a short-run, character-driven drink menu with collectible bonuses.
