Vane, voiced by the talented Takuya Eguchi, is a beloved character since the early days of Granblue Fantasy and one of the White Dragon Knights, joining Lancelot, Sigfried, and Percival. He’s a character that packs a severe punch, hitting from a distance with his halberd and crazy combos.

Guess who took a trip down to the Granblue Fantasy Grandcypher Kitchen in Akihabara? The same person who just had to order every item inspired by Lucifer and Sandalphon…
It kinda goes without saying, right…?
Ever since the announcement of this latest menu at the Grandcypher Kitchen, I’ve been wanting to go and check it out for myself. This was the first time for me to go, so it was a lot of fun! The staff was also super helpful and even enthusiastically helped me find various Sandalphon related items in the menu. Not only that, but one worker mentioned that they currently didn’t have the new 12-wing Limited Sandalphon, but…!? It seems like they’ll be adding him to the menu at some point in the future!! I’m really curious how they’d fit all 12 wings into the latte art…
▶︎ The Menu
▲ 33rd menu rotation at the Granblue Fantasy Grandcypher Kitchen. Featured characters include Lucifer, Sandalphon, Galleon, and Fediel.
Every patron is given two placemats, one that features the special characters for the current menu and and another that features a singular character. I got Vira (Valentine), which you can see in the 3rd photo here.
▶︎ Pre-meal Latte Art
Latte art is sort of a staple for many themed cafes and restaurants throughout Japan, but I was really impressed with the quality of the illustrations that they were able to make. I’m not one who really knows how it’s done, so maybe it’s not that hard, but still I appreciated the fine details. Sandalphon was so cute, I didn’t want to drink and destroy the cute illustration… haha
And with many similar themed cafes, the food is generally OK — not really the greatest, but not bad either, but I was really quite impressed with the quality of the items that I ordered. Maybe my excitement to order the LuciSan dishes helped make everything taste that much better. *blush*
Lucifer’s masterpiece white cream pasta – 1,430 rupies
Cabbage rolls for a life of light – 1,210 rupies
Inherited chardonnay soda – 880 rupies
Inherited milk tea coffee – 990 rupies
Millennium honey cafe con leche – 990 rupies
Sandalphon’s special coffee sundae – 1,100 rupies
I’m also not the biggest fan of coffee, so I wasn’t sure if I’d like the coffee jelly sundae, but it was really good! The cinnamon coffee was also really good!
And in case anyone asks, I brought my own LuciSan plushies purely to take cute photos like this! Taking a quick peek at other patrons in the cafe, I was not the only one taking similar photos… heehee

Google Maps has a really nice interactive map of the Grandcypher Kitchen that you can check out above!
Definitely, if you’re a Granblue Fantasy fan, I would suggest checking out the Grandcypher Kitchen in Akihabara. It’s also super easy to make reservations. Check here for the English reservation page.
Praise be Cygames! Behold! Sandalphon in all his glory! It was well worth using a Siero Ticket for this…!
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
With the new Gala Draw update, we now have the chance to draw a new version of Sandalphon with 12 wings. I am literally beside myself right now. He is so pretty.
Unfortunately, I used all of my crystals during the last special event to try and get the 000 summon and utterly failed. On the other hand, I was saving a Siero Ticket just in case something super important like this might drop… and LO AND BEHOLD! It’s kinda sad I couldn’t get the satisfaction of drawing him myself, but this is better than missing out completely! I’m so happy!!
Here’s a quick look at some of his stats and more! And yes, I’ve already uncapped and leveled him up to max! xD
The glorious Siero Ticket that made my dreams come true!
Oh gosh, and guess who’s currently trending now in Japan!? Yup, you guessed it! SANDALPHON!!
And just a couple hours later… more people are talking about Sandy. ❤️
I can’t get over how gorgeous he is! I really hope that Cygames will capitalize on this and make some great merch out of this! I need a huge tapestry of this to plaster on my wall!
There’s a ton of new Granblue Fantasy merch at Animate stores! Some items currently have pre-orders open, and some of the older merch is like 90% off! Check it out!
Fans of Granblue Fantasy (or maybe just Sandalphon!) will be happy to see some of this new merch!

These straps are so cute. Of course, I especially like the Sandalphon ones and Lucio isn’t bad either! And look at Azazel! So cute! We need more merch of Sandy with 12 wings.
The numbers are in! Granblue Fantasy Relink has sold 1 million copies worldwide in less than two weeks! Awesome! Let’s keep going! I’ve been too busy to play much of it yet…
With every game release, there are certain milestones that are important for products to hit, and one of the first ones is at the 1 million copies sold mark in addition to the length of time from the initial release.
