Vampire Cafe's Bloody Halloween

Tucked away in a corner of the Ginza neighborhood of Tokyo, you'll find Vampire Cafe, an uncommon dining experience where spooky and ghoulish decor meets elegant French fusion and Italian cuisine.

For the first Halloween of the Reiwa Era, Vampire Cafe is preparing a very special "Bloody Halloween." Their usual spooky and festive fare will be enhanced by the addition of drinks inspired by the latest trends, as well as a special Halloween version of their collaboration menu overseen by Moi-même-Moitié, the pioneering Gothic Lolita brand now celebrating its 20th anniversary and established by Mana, former guitarist of Malice Mizer and frontman of Moi dix Mois.

Let's take a look at all the chilling delights you'll find:

Bloody Halloween Menu

This year's Bloody Halloween menu has an eye-popping and thrilling collection of cocktails for your enjoyment.

Bloody Drunk Boba Tea Zombie

Kicking off the collection is the 酔っちゃう血塗れタピオカゾンビ Yocchau chimamire tapioca zombie, which translates as "Bloody Drunk Boba Tea Zombie" (1,080 JPY). This cocktail combines the now-trending boba tea (known as "tapioca tea" in Japan) with the soon-to-be-trending banana juice, chocolate syrup and cassis liqueur in the guise of blood. Topped off with a ghoulish green zombie finger cookie, it's a must-order item.

Bloody Sober Boba Tea Zombie

Those who would rather stay away from alcohol can partake of the 酔わない血塗れタピオカゾンビ Yowanai chimamire tapioca zombie (980 JPY) mocktail instead.

Magical Pumpkin Witch

In case the Jack-o'-lantern biting a rose didn't give you a clue, the マジカルパンプキンウィッチ Magical Pumpkin Which (1,080 JPY) cocktail features the taste of pumpkin spice. Sweet but not too sweet, its smooth taste will lure you. But beware, have one too many and you'll fall under the pumpkin witch's spell.

Black Cat Tail

A perpetual Halloween feature of Vampire Cafe's Halloween, the 黒猫テール Kuroneko tail, meaning "Black Cat Tail" (980 JPY) is both whimsical and mysterious. Stare into the cat's eyes while sipping this mocktail based on grape and blood orange juices perfect for the Halloween season.
