The Kyoto Nishiki branch of “Chiikawa Baby Castella,” the takeout shop based on the “Chiikawa” franchise, will open on November 18, 2026, at Nishiki Market in Kyoto. Visitors can enjoy baby castella shaped like the “Chiikawa” characters and soft-serve ice cream, both baked fresh in-store. To commemorate the opening, new merchandise—including a mascot set and cup holders—will be available. Until January 3, 2027, entry to the shop will be by advance reservation (via a lottery) on LINE.
