ダルマチアン/Dalmatian
was a dessert cocktail themed after Paul von Oberstein from Legend of the Galactic Heroes, or more accurately, his dog.
The milkshake-like drink, which could be made with or without alcohol, included coffee jelly with a scoop of cookie ice-cream topped with more dairy and an oreo, evoking the black and white appearance of the imperialist’s unnamed pet.
Available at the military sci-fi series’ dedicated restaurant “Dining Cafe Iserlohn Fortress” from March 4th to at least April 18th 2022, the drink was part of a promotion for the theatrical debut of the 3rd season of the series’ 2nd (faithful) animated adaptation.
Dalmatian was priced at 1045 yen including taxes, with no apparent discount for non-alcoholic versions. This fixed price then served, if unintentionally, as an extension of its Oberstein theming, prompting customers to reckon with their own tastes versus pragmatic values.
