Koikeya Co., Ltd. will release two new products in collaboration with the globally popular monster Godzilla: "Godzilla VS Karamucho: Sriracha's Counterattack" and "King Ghidorah VS Suppa Mucho: Seafood's All-Out Attack." The items will be available first at convenience stores nationwide on Monday, May 18, 2026, followed by a release at supermarkets and other general retail channels on Monday, May 25, 2026.
This collaboration was inspired by the 30th anniversary of "Burning Godzilla" from the 1995 movie "Godzilla vs. Destoroyah." The powerful presence of Burning Godzilla, which left a strong impression on fans with its whole body burning like fire, is combined with the stimulating taste and worldview of the Karamucho brand. This creates an exciting experience that elevates one's mood upon the first bite. Customers can experience the distinct appeal of each brand: the exhilaration from spiciness (Karamucho) and the refreshment from sourness (Suppa Mucho).
"Godzilla VS Karamucho: Sriracha's Counterattack" combines Karamucho's unique spicy-savory flavor with the characteristic tang of sriracha sauce and the umami of garlic for an unprecedented taste. The V-cut shape provides a satisfying texture. Two package designs will be available, featuring either Burning Godzilla or Karamucho's mascot "Hee Oba-chan," which can be placed side-by-side to create a confrontation scene.
"King Ghidorah VS Suppa Mucho: Seafood's All-Out Attack" features a sour and savory flavor, adding the umami of oysters, scallops, and shrimp to the refreshing sourness of vinegar and lemon. The package design has a gold background, evoking the image of seafood broth, and depicts King Ghidorah wrapped around the logo, as well as the Suppa Mucho mascot "Hee Hee Oba-chan" blackened from an attack, combining the power of the Godzilla series with the brand's playful spirit.
