Celebrating over 150 years of culinary tradition, Japanese meat specialty brand KAKIYASU is launching its first-ever collaboration with the globally acclaimed anime series Demon Slayer. Timed with the revival screening of Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, this exclusive campaign introduces a premium bento box that pays tribute to one of the film’s most beloved characters.

The special “Mugen Gyunabe Bento” (¥2,101 tax included) will be available for a limited time from April 29 to May 31, 2025, at 63 KAKIYASU locations nationwide, including Kakiyasu Dining, Kakiyasu Gyumeshi, and other affiliated stores.

Bento Inspired by Rengoku’s “Delicious! Delicious!” Catchphrase

The bento features a custom wrap with a newly illustrated image of Flame Hashira Kyojuro Rengoku, designed exclusively for this collaboration. It also includes one of four original foil stickers, making it a must-have collectible for Demon Slayer fans.

The concept behind the bento—“so delicious, you’ll want to eat it endlessly”—directly references Rengoku’s enthusiastic “Delicious! Delicious!” line from Mugen Train, making this a perfect culinary tribute.

Carefully Prepared Kuroge Wagyu, Cooked with Kakiyasu’s Signature Technique

At the heart of this luxurious meal is premium Japanese Black (kuroge wagyu) beef, carefully selected and slow-cooked in-store by seasoned Kakiyasu chefs. The beef is simmered in the brand’s secret sweet soy-based sauce, which enhances both its umami and richness.

Additional ingredients simmered in the same sauce include:
Onions, burdock root, and shirataki noodles
Tofu, grilled fu (wheat gluten) with a branded stamp, and green onions
The attention to flavor balance and presentation results in a hearty, flavorful dish worthy of the Demon Slayer legacy.
