Exciting Collaboration of Kushikatsu with Baby Star Debuts on Kushi Day!

Exciting Combination of Flavors: Kushikatsu and Baby Star Collaboration

On September 4th, a special day recognized annually as "Kushi Day," Kushikatsu Dengana, managed by Yuki Asano, the Chairman and CEO of Four Seas Co., Ltd., plans a mouthwatering collaboration with Oyatsu Company, headquartered in Tsu City, Mie Prefecture. This collaboration will feature a limited-edition creation: the "Baby Star Ramen Kushikatsu," crispy-coated with beloved Baby Star ramen, available from September 4th (Thursday) to September 30th (Tuesday) of 2025.

Popularity of Baby Star Ramen Kushikatsu Returns!

Since its debut in 2017, the partnership between Baby Star and Dengana has experienced enthusiastic responses annually. Building on the previous successes, this year sees an even richer offering of unique and varied menus for August and September.

To commemorate Kushi Day, five special skewers will be launched, including the brand new "Baby Curry Tsukune," featuring a coating made from Baby Star ramen, available for a limited time from September 4th to September 30th.

The "Baby Star Ramen Kushikatsu" offers a crunchy texture and a nostalgic, savory flavor that appeals to all ages, from children to adults. The synergy between the skewered ingredients and Dengana's original sauce showcases the delightful taste of the Chicken-flavored coating, making this a must-try for all.

One recommended option is the "Baby Star Ramen Kushikatsu 3-Piece Set," which includes the delicious curry-flavored tsukune, now featuring curry salt, along with the popular "Baby Coarse Ground Wiener" and "Baby Double Chicken" skewers, all at an appealing price.
