Wait, is that a Dragon Ball?! You can step into one of over 600 Gyukaku locations in Japan this month to find out what it is — and eat it!
Popular Japanese yakiniku (barbecue) chain Gyukaku has teamed up with the Dragon Ball franchise to host a “Super☆Barbecue Party (Cho☆Yakiniku Kai)” campaign in conjunction with the December 14 release of the new Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie.
Luckily for us, that means special limited menu items and collaborative goods to be given away!
The campaign, which starts December 6, features three Dragon Ball-themed menu items.
● Super Thick Gyukaku Meat Set (Cho Nikuatsu Gyukaku Mori) — 1,980 yen (US$17.50)
Four different cuts of beef totaling 280 grams (approximately 10 ounces) are served in this set, and the extra condiments that come with it, such as truffle-flavored salt, garlic pepper cream and garlic-miso sauce, should make the meat even tastier.
And just in case any of you are wondering, at yakinku barbecue restaurants in Japan they bring you raw meat which you grill yourself at your table, so it’s a bit of a hands-on dining experience.
● Super Big Garlic Ramen (Cho-mori Ninniku Ramen) — 890 yen
This super large bowl of ramen is served in a rich pork marrow (tonkotsu) and oxtail soup and topped with sliced boiled pork, cabbage, bean sprouts, garlic, and pieces of backfat. Plus, you can even add extra garlic if you want!
● Dragon Ball Jelly — 350 yen
No, this isn’t a Dragon Ball. But it is an orange jelly dessert with vanilla ice cream underneath, which we think still sounds pretty good!
And if you order any one of the three collaborative menu items, for every 3,000 yen spent, you’ll get a special Dragon Ball coaster.
▼ The coasters come in a limited edition design created for this campaign.
Even better, if your coaster comes with a special “winning ticket”, you can win an exclusive illustrated acrylic panel or a 2 meter (6.5 feet) long illustrated jumbo towel, which is just icing on the cake for Dragon Ball fans!
▼ During the campaign, you can also enjoy popular items from the Gyukaku menu at
discounted prices, so you may want to take advantage of that as well.
The “Super☆Barbecue Party” campaign will be held at Gyukaku locations across Japan from December 6 to December 31.
So if you’re looking to sink your teeth into some meet, your local Gyukaku branch may be a good destination for end-of-the-year get-togethers, especially after enjoying Dragon Ball: Broly… even if they may have already let out the best secret about the movie!
