■ About the Creation of the “Iwashita New Ginger×Nagomi Style Cafe Collaborative Knee-high Socks”
Iwashita and Nagomi Style Cafe Akiba opened the collaborative cafe Iwashita New Ginger Museum in Akihabara for a limited time from March to June as a way to share the deliciousness and fun of Iwashita New Ginger to more people. A limited number of the popular “Iwashita New Ginger×Nagomi Style Cafe Collaborative Iwashita New Ginger Alpaca” were sold, as well.
The Iwashita New Ginger Museum Shop in Akihabara then opened in Nagomi Style Cafe in August as Iwashita New Ginger Museum’s first official permanent shop. New collaborative knee-high socks have also been designed themed around Akihabara’s culture of idols, events, and moe. A light pink was used in honor of Iwashita New Ginger, and it was paired with Nagomi Style Cafe’s cute Japanese lolita fashion style.
