Jujutsu Kaisen and Family Restaurant Joyful Announce New Collaboration
There is some really great news for all the Jujutsu Kaisen fans out there. A special collaboration campaign between the hit TV anime, which is based on the original manga by Gege Akutami, and the popular Family Restaurant Joyful has been officially announced. This exciting event is scheduled to take place from 3:00 PM on April 14th and will continue all the way until 3:00 PM on June 9th. It is definitely going to be a treat for those who want to experience the world of sorcery while enjoying a nice meal.
The above image is the official announcement for the Jujutsu Kaisen and Family Restaurant Joyful collaboration campaign. This partnership is bringing a lot of unique items to the table, literally. For those interested in the series' massive popularity, Jujutsu Kaisen explained: why the anime and manga are global phenomena gives a good look into why people are so crazy about it.
Themed Menus Inspired by the Culling Game Arc
In this campaign, you will find collaboration menus that are inspired by 10 different characters appearing in the Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 'Shimetsu Kaiyu Hen' (The Culling Game arc). The sales are divided into two periods, but some items will be available throughout the entire event. One of the main highlights is Yuhito Kojo's 'Kurosen' 3-Stroke Combo. This dish represents Yuji's famous 3 consecutive Black Flash attacks using three types of delicious meats: a pepper hamburger, a frankfurter, and a chicken steak. It sounds like a very heavy and satisfying meal for any hungry fan.
For those who prefer something else, there is Megumi Fushiguro's Pork Shoulder. Since Megumi likes things that go well with ginger, this dish features loin pork prepared with ginger. In total, four special dishes have been prepared for the main lineup:
- Loin Pork with Ginger: A Megumi-themed dish that is perfect for ginger lovers.
- Enso Onii-chan's Teppan Neapolitan: Inspired by Enso, who is a specialist in red blood manipulation.
- Otsukotsu and Rika's Pancakes: A very unique dessert where the pancake is covered in cream once you remove a special film designed with Yuta Otsukotsu and Rika.
- Kojo and Fushiguro Menu: These specific collaboration items are also available for takeout, so you can enjoy them at home.
First Period Specials and Exclusive Gifts
The first phase of the collaboration menu will be sold from 3:00 PM on April 14th until 3:00 PM on May 12th. This period will feature items specifically inspired by characters like Maki Zenin, Naoya Zenin, and Hosaku. Also, there is a very cool novelty for the fans. For every single item you order from the collaboration menu, you will get one original clear file as a gift. There are 11 types in total, and they are given out randomly. If you are lucky enough to find a postcard inside your clear file, you will be one of the 500 limited people to receive a complete set of all the clear files!
Store Campaigns and Social Media Giveaways
Apart from the food, Joyful is going all out with the decorations. Collaboration commemorative panels will be placed at the entrances of the participating stores. There is also a lottery campaign where 50 people can win an exclusive acrylic block if they apply using a receipt that includes a collaboration menu item. At the stores, you might also find a gacha where you can win an original design store stamp or even capsule toys with special writing displays using the collaboration illustrations.
Even the Joyful app is getting a makeover with original collaboration designs for the store visit stamps. On social media, Joyful's official X account is running a separate campaign where 500 lucky winners can get original luminous acrylic keychains.
