Harapeko's Pioneering Role in Food Entertainment

On June 20, 2026, at the renowned Shinagawa The Grand Hall, Harapeko Inc. (based in Minato, Tokyo) made headlines as they produced unique food experiences featuring IP collaborations at the food entertainment event 'Kyuou Unlimited -2026 Summer- supported by SCO Group'. This event, organized by KNOCK Inc., attracted a vibrant crowd, eager to engage in culinary delights that went beyond mere consumption.

A Culinary Experience Like No Other

At Kyuou, Harapeko collaborated with talented creators affiliated with KNOCK, including Mayoi Ebihara (known as 'Ebi Mayo'), Yamamoto (known as 'Samurai'), and Yoshitaka. Together, they curated a line of exclusive bento boxes and collaboration cocktails specifically designed for attendees. The overwhelming response led to long queues as visitors eagerly awaited the innovative offerings that showcased the event's vibrant atmosphere, merging the talents' distinct characteristics with culinary artistry.

Creative Bento Box Designs

The contested bento boxes were crafted with creativity in mind, allowing fans to experience a multifaceted journey. The single-tier bento was designed by Mayoi Ebihara, the two-tier by Yoshitaka, and the three-tier by Yamamoto. This thoughtful structure highlighted the individuality of each creator, appealing to various fan bases while simultaneously celebrating the essence of the event. The high-end, visually appealing stacked bento boxes served as more than just meals; they became memorable experiences that attendees could cherish before and after the food battles.

A Cocktail Experience Enriched by Story

The beverage offerings complemented the immersive culinary theme. Harapeko featured nostalgic gastro cocktails, including 'Hatsukoi Highball', alongside customized variations like 'Netsuai Highball' and 'Samurai-Cocktail'. Each drink name was imbued with narrative context, enhancing the overall atmosphere and providing a seamless dining experience that could only be enjoyed at this event.

Passionate Engagement with Attendees

Throughout the event, featured creators took to their marketing booths to personally engage with attendees, selling their products and enhancing the connection between fans and creators. The presence of eager attendees lining up for the exclusive items exemplified how Harapeko transformed ordinary food sales into a platform for enriched fan experiences. Beyond merely selling food, the creators extended the event's energetic atmosphere into tangible consumption experiences, which is a hallmark of Harapeko’s production philosophy.
