Nintendo's Pikmin franchise lands at Kura Revolving Sushi Bar
Exclusive Pikmin Bikkura Pon collectibles, menu and decor will transform the dining experience at Kura Revolving Sushi Bar nationwide beginning October 3.
The collaboration between Kura Sushi USA, Inc. and Nintendo of America invites guests to enjoy exclusive Pikmin collectibles, decorations and menu items at Kura Revolving Sushi Bar locations nationwide from October 3 through December 2, 2024.
Plant-like creatures
Pikmin are small, plant-like creatures that video gamers of all skill levels can breed, collect and accompany on adorable interactive expeditions. These brave creatures are loyal, smart and ready to follow your lead! Although small in size, the Pikmin are big on adventure.
“In our continuous effort to create fun, immersive dining experiences, we have teamed up with Nintendo of America to combine Kura Sushi USA’s innovative dining environment with Blue, Yellow, and Red Pikmin from the Pikmin video game series on the Nintendo Switch™ system,” said Sally Kurosaki, Promotions & Licensing Manager of Kura Sushi USA, Inc. “We have designed the collection to enhance the dining experience and transport guests into the whimsical world of Pikmin as they enjoy our authentic Japanese cuisine.”
Limited-time menu
As part of the collaboration, Kura Revolving Sushi Bar will offer a limited-time menu of specially crafted dishes inspired by the colorful Pikmin, such as the Blue Pikmin Cheesecake, Yellow Pikmin Cheese Tamago and Red Pikmin Crunchy Roll.
Guests can also take home an array of exclusive Pikmin collectibles available through the brand’s Bikkura Pon Prize System, including acrylic swing keychains, magnetic bookmarks and phone mounts featuring Blue Pikmin, Yellow Pikmin and Red Pikmin. A rare Pikmin Trio acrylic swing keychain will also be available in limited quantities. Additionally, Kura Sushi Rewards Members will be eligible to receive a Pikmin x Kura Sushi T-shirt as part of an exclusive in-store giveaway from Oct. 3-7, 2024.
Kura Sushi's dining experience
The Bikkura Pon Prize System is a cornerstone of Kura Sushi’s entertaining dining experience. As guests finish their meals, they insert empty plates into disposal slots at their tables. After 15 plates are deposited, the system automatically dispenses a random capsule, adding an element of anticipation and joy to the meal.
Kura Sushi’s commitment to sustainability continues with the use of ecopon capsules for all Bikkura Pon collectibles. Ecopon capsules are the world’s first plastic-free, biodegradable and recyclable paper capsules made from starch and paper, developed in collaboration with K2 Station Co., Ltd., Rengo Co., Ltd., and Daiho Industrial Co., Ltd.
Exploring with friends
To round out the collaboration, fans of the Pikmin Bloom mobile app published by Niantic, Inc., who enjoy venturing outside and exploring with friends and their Pikmin squad will be able to obtain a Gold Seedling that grows into one of seven Sushi Decor Pikmin variations at all Kura Revolving Sushi Bar locations daily until Dec. 2. Restaurant locations that open after Oct. 3 are subject to participation and not guaranteed. For more about Pikmin Bloom, visit pikminbloom.com/en/.
