An Epic Collaboration: Godzilla Meets Yokohama Ramen

In an exciting fusion of pop culture and culinary delight, the Ichikakuya ramen chain is launching an exclusive collaboration with the iconic monster, Godzilla. This collaboration will take place from January 16, 2026, to April 13, 2026, allowing fans and food lovers to indulge in a limited-time offering that promises to be as memorable as the creature itself.

Collaboration Details

This unique partnership will feature the specialty "Yokohama-style Godzilla Ramen" in two thrilling variations: Godzilla Ramen BLACK and Godzilla Ramen RED, both priced at 1,264 yen (tax included: 1,390 yen). The ramen dishes are crafted to reflect the legendary monster's character, combining deep flavors that match the giant's formidable presence.

For eager fans, this collaboration will be available at select locations—50 restaurants will serve the special ramen, while 10 locations will offer exclusive collaboration merchandise. Details can be found on the official collaboration website: Godzilla Collaboration Site.

Exclusive Dining Experience

A highlight of this collaboration is the Godzilla Spot located on the third floor of the Shinjuku Yasukuni Dori store. This themed area features décor inspired by Godzilla, allowing diners to enjoy their ramen in a truly immersive atmosphere. While enjoying the meal, guests can gaze out at the prominent Godzilla head fixed atop the Toho Building nearby.

It's crucial to note that seating is limited; therefore, reservations are not accepted, and visitors might face long wait times during peak hours. Furthermore, dining time will be capped at 60 minutes.

Memorable Mementos

To enhance the experience, patrons ordering the collaboration ramen will receive a Godzilla-themed original sticker. Customers will randomly receive one of four unique designs for each ramen ordered, but preferences for specific designs won't be accommodated due to limited stock.

In addition to the stickers, the collaboration will also bring forth a range of exclusive merchandise:

• - Blind Package Button Badges (8 designs): 500 yen (tax included: 550 yen)
• - Acrylic Stands (6 designs): 864 yen (tax included: 950 yen)
• - Special Laddle: 1,773 yen (tax included: 1,950 yen)
• - Special Bowl: 2,909 yen (tax included: 3,200 yen)
• - Tote Bags: 1,409 yen (tax included: 1,550 yen)

Sales of merchandise will commence progressively, and customers are encouraged to contact individual restaurants for more information.

History of Godzilla

Debuting in 1954, Godzilla has captivated audiences worldwide, becoming a beloved symbol of monster cinema.
