COLLABO CAFE HONPO BLANC

Osomatsu-san x Collabo Cafe Honpo BLANC (おそ松さん × コラボカフェ本舗BLANC) is a café collaboration between Osomatsu-san and the photo spot café, COLLABO CAFE HONPO. The word "blanc" was possibly taken from both the French word *blanc,* meaning "white" and the Portuguese word *blanço,* meaning "swing" - as such, the sextuplets in this set are portrayed wearing cosy white clothing and comfortably relaxing atop a bench swing. There is also a miniature version of the sextuplets which features them in the same attire but wielding small silver spoons for the rabbit-themed parfaits they are paired with; with the rabbit design being chosen due to 2023 being the year of the rabbit. Both of these designs were also available to be displayed as latte art when ordered.

The café held 3 menus, one containing food, one containing drinks and the other listing desserts.

The collaboration was split into two halves, with part one lasting from January 6 until January 28, whilst the second half lasted from January 29 onwards.

These different parts contained different dishes to be bought, along with different novelties available upon entry.

During part one of the event, a random bromide or coaster sporting a singular character would be received upon entry.

During part two of the event, a random bromide or coaster with a pair of characters would be received upon entry.

Throughout the event, badges, stickers, parfait charms, acrylic keychains, and acrylic stands were all merchandise available to be purchased at any time, however the results were random and there was a limit of 10 per person.

If the visitor made an order worth over 1,000 yen, took a photo of their order and posted it to either Twitter or Instagram along with the hashtag #コラボカフェ本舗BLANC, then showed that post to the staff, they would receive a random coaster. The available coaster designs depended on whichever half of the event was ongoing at the time.

For every 2,000 yen spent on food, drinks or goods during the collaboration, an A4 illustration card could be chosen, however the same illustration design could not be chosen twice. If the visitor spent enough to obtain all the cards available then they choose more cards in addition to the full set, again without repeating designs.

The collaboration was announced on December 23, 2022 and was initially planned to be held from January 6, 2023 through to February 19, 2023, but due to popular demand it was extended until March 5, 2023.
