AOAO SAPPORO, which will celebrate its 3rd anniversary in July 2026, has, for these three years, aimed to be a "downtown aquarium" where, in addition to the fun of making new discoveries through observing living creatures, you can also encounter culture nurtured in the city of Sapporo, such as food and art. The "MORIHICO." collaboration, which has been running since 2024, was agreed upon by both parties to liven up the city of Sapporo, triggered by AOAO SAPPORO's 3rd anniversary and MORIHICO.'s 30th anniversary, and various projects will be realized this time as a collaboration event.

Starting from the day of the 3rd anniversary, July 20th (Mon, Holiday), on the 5F "NATURE AQUARIUM", a space where you can view the aquarium tank ("Kazekaoru Sekkei") through the "window" of the famous "Honten Morihiko" shop, beloved in Sapporo's Maruyama for 30 years, will appear for a limited time. Also, throughout the facility, exhibition spaces will appear featuring "MORIHICO." furniture and panels introducing Sapporo's culture. Furthermore, on the day of the 3rd anniversary, "MORIHICO.'s" coffee truck and mascot car will appear on the 1F of moyuk SAPPORO, selling limited collaboration food menus. In addition, prior to the event, from June 20th (Sat), a limited-time collaboration course will be available again from last year at "Morihiko no French DAFNE", a French restaurant produced by "MORIHICO.".
