Swiiyo at the Stony Brook JSO Cosplay Cafe 2026
On October 28, 2026, Swiiyo joined the Japanese Student Organization (JSO) at Stony Brook University for its annual Cosplay Cafe, an evening that brought the feel of a Japanese cosplay cafe to campus.
A Japanese Cafe Night on Campus
From 7 to 10 PM, about 180 students, cosplayers and taiko performers filled the room. The cafe menu featured favorites like Japanese curry and butter mochi, and this year, Swiiyo was on the menu too.
Four Flavors on the Menu
Every guest could grab a drink, in four flavors:
- Swiiyo Energy Popping Boba, Orange: real popping boba, no caffeine, 25 calories and 5 g of sugar per can
- Aura Beauty Sparkling Rose Lychee
- Aura Beauty Sparkling Grape Passion Fruit
- Aura Beauty Sparkling Unsweetened Muscat Grape
The Aura Beauty Sparkling flavors have 0 calories and 0 sugar, which made them an easy pick next to the curry and sweets.
The JSO team told us the drinks were enjoyed by many, and that having several flavors to choose from made the cafe menu feel complete.
Swiiyo on the Reel
Before the big night, JSO filmed a Reel featuring Swiiyo, and it's every bit as fun as the event itself. Watch the Reel on Instagram.
The fun isn't over yet. JSO plans to bring the leftover cans to its Furoshiki event on December 1.
Thank You, JSO
A big thank you to Kylie, Mehek and the whole Japanese Student Organization at Stony Brook (@sbujso) for having us. We'd love to be back for next year's Cosplay Cafe.
