IT Entertainment, the parent company of Japanese restaurant 'and Gallery' announced Wednesday a limited-time Sonic the Hedgehog-themed café in Japan tied to SEGA's animated series *Sonic & Friends*.

**Why it matters:** The pop-up reflects SEGA's push to market the blue blur through in-person experiences, similar to the Sonic Speed Café collaboration in the United States.
