Tokyo-based creative cake maker Cake.jp, which runs fun, cake vending machines all across Japan, has fused their cakes with the world of One Piece with a new lineup of vending machines with collaborative desserts! The vending machines feature 17 unique One Piece-inspired cakes, each designed to reflect the distinct colors and personalities of Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates, complete with illustrations of the characters in their Egghead Arc outfits!
Luffy’s cake, for instance, is a strawberry shortcake that embodies his personality and iconic red shirt, while Zoro’s pistachio cake represents his serious demeanor and bright green hair. Nami’s orange-flavored cake and Usopp’s lemon cake bring a fresh and tangy taste, reflecting their energetic characters. Sanji, the crew’s chef, has a grape-flavored cake that’s rich and fruity, while Chopper, the cute reindeer doctor, has a sweet strawberry cake.
Each cake is beautifully packaged in glass jars, filled with rich cream, and kept frozen in the vending machines to maintain their freshness. Robin’s blueberry rare cheesecake and Franky’s blueberry cake are similar and equally refreshing, while Brook’s black sesame cake offers a unique and more savory flavor. Jinbe’s chocolate parfait provides a rich, satisfying taste with a deep chocolate taste.
If you can’t make it to a machine in person, these cakes can also be purchased online through Cake.jp’s web shop. However, the Luffy Gear 5 grape sundae cake is a special treat that can only be found in the vending machines. Additionally, there are three unique “wanted poster” cakes available, which are a combination of sponge cake, fruit, and custard. These cakes are dispensed in a random, gacha-style format, adding an element of surprise to your purchase.
For those who prefer a more predictable dessert experience, the vending machines also feature three cakes that can be specifically selected. The Straw Hat Pirates Egghead Arc trifle, the Straw Hat Pirates Icon Pattern strawberry shortcake, and the Dr. Vegapunk and Cats Pattern chocolate cake feature special designs with the gacha element.
These vending machines are currently found in Tokyo at select branches of department store Marui, as well as in Saitama, Kanagawa, and Chiba Prefectures, respectively. For those unable to visit these locations, the non-vending machine-exclusive One Piece cakes are available online through Cake.jp’s store. Find your own taste treasure and see which you can get!
