Anniversary Celebration Runs from April to June 2026
To commemorate this quarter-century anniversary, Vampire Cafe will host a special celebration until 30 June 2026. During this period, the restaurant presents two exclusive banquet courses along with a commemorative signature cocktail.

25th Anniversary Blood Cocktail
Every anniversary course begins with a toast using the 25th Anniversary Blood, an original cocktail priced at 1,300 yen (tax included). Available in both alcoholic & non-alcoholic versions, the striking ruby-hued drink features blood orange notes or red wine, elegantly garnished with floating rose petals.

Count Rose & Rose Day 2026
Throughout the anniversary period, guests will have the opportunity to meet Count Rose, the charismatic master of Vampire Cafe. This celebration also coincides with his band Vampire Rose’ super concert, “Rose Day 2026” on 2 June at SHIBUYA REX. Tickets to Rose Day can be bought from Count Rose at Vampire Cafe on nights he is there or online at eplus. Last year’s Rose Day sold out, so it is highly recommended to buy in advance as door tickets will likely be unavailable.
