Menu and Décor Transform the Dining Experience at Kura Revolving
Sushi Bar Locations Nationwide Starting Oct.
3
IRVINE,
Calif., Sept. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Kura Sushi
USA, Inc., a trailblazing leader
in technology-driven dining experiences and authentic Japanese
cuisine, today announced a new partnership with Nintendo of America
to feature the beloved Pikmin video game franchise. From
Oct. 3 through Dec. 2, 2024, this
collaboration invites guests to enjoy exclusive Pikmin themed
collectibles, décor and menu items at Kura Revolving Sushi Bar
locations nationwide.
Pikmin are small, plantlike creatures that video game players of
all skill levels can grow, gather and guide on endearing
interactive expeditions. These plucky creatures are loyal, clever
and ready to follow your lead! Although they are 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."
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*.
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.
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,
