Baskin-Robbins Japan is launching its first-ever collaboration with Nintendo’s beloved game series Animal Crossing. Running nationwide from July 1 to July 31, 2026, this limited-time campaign brings the relaxing island life of Animal Crossing to Baskin-Robbins stores with exclusive ice cream flavors, special merchandise, and in-game content.
International visitors in Japan during the summer can enjoy this unique blend of Japanese pop culture and delicious treats. The collaboration offers seasonal ice cream inspired by the game’s island setting, collectible items, and even a virtual Baskin-Robbins island to explore in the Animal Crossing game on Nintendo Switch.
About the Animal Crossing x Baskin-Robbins Collaboration
The highlight of the campaign is the new July flavor called “Animal Crossing Summer Island Delight.” This ice cream features green pear-flavored ice cream representing the forest, beige apple-flavored sorbet for the sandy beach, and pale blue salted ramune sorbet symbolizing the sea. It also includes the first-ever fish-shaped candy from Baskin-Robbins, evoking the fish that appear in the game’s rivers and ocean. The single regular size is priced at ¥420 (tax included).
Customers can upgrade their single regular scoop to a small double for an additional ¥90, allowing them to combine the new flavor with favorites like Muskmelon or Popping Shower for a refreshing summer treat.
