JR Kyushu Selling Pikmin Bento Boxes and Pudding

For a limited time, JR Kyushu is collaborating with Nintendo on a Pikmin lunch box and pudding. You can purchase them at two lunch box stands in Hakata Station until June 30, 2025. [Thanks, Game Watch!]

The JR Kyushu Pikmin lunch box costs 1600 JPY ($10.20). When you open it, there aren’t any sides or food cut in the shape of Pikmin. However, it uses a lot of colorful vegetables that can remind you of the little things. The rice portion has a spicy mentaiko, as well as beef sukiyaki. Sides include a bit of salmon and a vegetable omelette.

For dessert, you can get a strawberry pudding that also comes in a Pikmin package. The juice and jam that went into this pudding had been extracted from amaou strawberries. Amaou strawberries are a specialty of Fukuoka. You can get the pudding for 1296 JPY ($8.25), and each package (which features Pikmin carrying strawberries around) contains four.

This is all part of the Pikmin and JR Kyushu campaign from Yamaya Communications. The campaign can translates to “Explore the Enchanted Planet of Kyushu,” and it’ll run from December 7, 2024 to June 30, 2025. During this time, you’ll be able to buy exclusive goods from six different stations on the JR Kyushu line. Familiar creatures from the Pikmin series will also appear on JR Kyushu trains and buses until mid-2025.

The Pikmin lunch box and pudding at JR Kyushu are available until June 30, 2025, and you can get them in Hakata. The latest entry in the Pikmin series, Pikmin 4, is available on the Nintendo Switch.
