Sushiro, the popular conveyor belt sushi chain, has teamed up with Capcom's Monster Hunter series for an exciting collaboration campaign set to launch on February 12, 2025. Known for its unique themed food experiences, Sushiro's latest endeavor aims to captivate fans of the beloved gaming franchise.
This collaboration will run at Sushiro locations nationwide until March 2, 2025, and will feature several exclusive menu items inspired by Monster Hunter. Among the offerings are the "Monster Hunter Meat Trio Platter," "Monster Hunter Tuna Sushi," and "Monster Hunter Bone-In Sausage." Each of these gourmet dishes will come with special themed picks, featuring designs inspired by the game.
To add to the excitement, each special sushi item includes picks printed with random designs, which can include either gold or silver crowns. Customers who collect these picks will have the chance to participate in a lottery where 100 lucky winners can receive exclusive merchandise, such as the "Furufuru Wet Tissue Case," reported by INSIDE.
Adding to the fun, Sushiro will also be selling soft drinks packaged in bottles resembling recovery potions from the game, available randomly. For those who purchase these drinks, they will find QR codes on the bottle boxes. By accessing these codes and inputting the serial numbers, customers can enter for another chance to win the coveted "Kachiki Bow Hanger," which is also being offered as part of the campaign. This unique aspect is expected to resonate well with fans, who often engage deeply with the lore and items from the games.
For those who enjoy social media, Sushiro is hosting the "Let’s Eat 100 Plates at Sushiro" photo campaign. By following Sushiro's official accounts on X (formerly Twitter) or Instagram and posting photos of stacked sushi plates with specific hashtags, participants will enter to win prizes. There is no expectation for excessive consumption as the initiative is aimed at group participation. Excitingly, ten winners will be selected to receive special Monster Hunter-themed dinner plates and Sushiro dining vouchers valued at 5,000 yen.
Further engaging the community, Sushiro will have three special collaboration stores set up from February 14 to March 2, 2025, located at Shinjuku's 3-Chome, Osaka's Fukshima Raxa Hanshin store, and Naha's Kokusai Dori store. Each of these locations will reflect the stunning world of Monster Hunter, showcasing characters and items from the series, bringing video game environments to life.
Interestingly, to celebrate the opening of the special store in Naha, the "Yui Rail" stations at Naha Airport and Kencho-mae will display collaboration visuals from February 12 to February 18, enhancing the gaming atmosphere across the city.
Fans of Sushiro and Monster Hunter alike are encouraged to visit their nearest Sushiro establishments during this limited-time event to partake in themed meals, engage with fun activities, and qualify for the exclusive merchandise lottery. This collaboration marks yet another innovative moment for Sushiro as it continues to diversify its offerings and seize upon popular culture to attract patrons.
While the collaboration is bound to attract many fans of the gaming franchise, it also appeals to sushi lovers wanting to enjoy unique dining experiences. The campaign is set to bring together communities and create memorable bonding moments over sushi and gaming—a perfect blend for both worlds.
With each dish crafted to celebrate the Monster Hunter series, the collaboration is anticipated to draw significant crowds. Food enthusiasts as well as gamers will find themselves caught up in the excitement, eagerly trying to enjoy these limited-time offerings.
The Sushiro x Monster Hunter collaboration could mark remarkable success as it manages to cater to both culinary and gaming interests, leaving fans and customers with lasting memories and perhaps new friendships forged over plates of sushi. Don’t miss out on the chance to indulge and collect!
