The collaboration introduces a limited-time Pikmin-inspired menu, including dishes such as the Blue Pikmin Cheesecake, Yellow Pikmin Cheese Tamago, and Red Pikmin Crunchy Roll.

Guests can also collect a variety of Pikmin-themed items through the Bikkura Pon Prize System, which dispenses a random capsule after 15 plates are deposited at their table.

Among the collectables are acrylic swing keychains, magnetic bookmarks, and phone mounts featuring the Blue, Yellow, and Red Pikmin.

A rare Pikmin Trio acrylic swing keychain will also be available in limited numbers, the restaurant chain said.

Kura Sushi USA promotions and licensing manager Sally Kurosaki said: “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.

“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.”

The Bikkura Pon Prize System, a key part of Kura Sushi’s entertaining dining concept, uses ecopon capsules, which are claimed to be the world’s first plastic-free, biodegradable, and recyclable paper capsules.

Kura Sushi recently announced its plans to open a 338-seat restaurant on 13 April 2025 at the Osaka-Kansai Expo in Yumeshima, Osaka, Japan.
