All-you-can-eat yakiniku chain Jyu-Jyu Karubi to launch Rilakkuma collaboration on May 19

Tomato and Associates Co., Ltd., headquartered in Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture and led by President Keisuke Sasamura, will launch a collaboration campaign between its all-you-can-eat yakiniku restaurant chain Jyu-Jyu Karubi and Rilakkuma starting Tuesday, May 19, 2026. The campaign will feature collaboration menu items and exclusive original merchandise available only through this promotion. Original postcards will also be given to the first 10,000 customers, and a social media campaign is planned. The campaign will run from May 19 to June 17, 2026, at all Jyu-Jyu Karubi locations. Details may change or the campaign may end without prior notice. Collaboration menu items include the “Rilakkuma Everyone Relax Plate,” a treat-yourself plate featuring pancakes, Rilakkuma’s favorite food, with mango and mousse whipped cream, priced at 1,000 yen before tax and 1,100 yen including tax; the “Korilakkuma Favorite Strawberry Milk Float,” a drink inspired by Korilakkuma’s colors with strawberry sauce and ice cream, priced at 800 yen before tax and 880 yen including tax; and the “Kiiroitori Pudding & Mango,” a pudding finished by customers with caramel sauce and decorated with coin chocolates representing Kiiroitori’s hobby of saving money, priced at 600 yen before tax and 660 yen including tax. All items are sold individually only. For each collaboration menu item ordered, customers will receive an original postcard, limited to the first 10,000 recipients and available while supplies last at each store. A commemorative social media campaign is also planned, with details to be announced later on Jyu-Jyu Karubi’s official X account. Collaboration merchandise includes acrylic stands, can badges, acrylic blocks, sticker sets, clear files, canvas pouches, and mini towel handkerchiefs. These items will be sold at selected stores and through the e-commerce site while supplies last. Rilakkuma is a bear in a costume who continues to live at the home of Kaoru, an office worker, together with Korilakkuma and Kiiroitori. Who is inside the costume remains unknown. Rilakkuma’s biggest interests are daily meals and snacks, with favorite foods including pancakes, omelet rice, pudding, and dango. Chairoikoguma is a friend who lives in the Honey Forest. Jyu-Jyu Karubi is a yakiniku buffet restaurant offering quality meat at affordable prices. Customers order via touch panel, and staff bring the dishes to the table. The brand says it will continue to provide a safe and enjoyable dining environment along with value-oriented products for local communities.
