Iwasaki Honpo's Collaboration with Monster Hunter Wiles
In an exciting initiative, Iwasaki Honpo, a renowned Japanese food company, has teamed up with Capcom's popular video game, Monster Hunter Wiles. This collaboration marks a special celebration of Iwasaki Honpo's 60th anniversary, as well as the 35th anniversary of their flagship product, the Nagasaki Kakuni Manju. This marks the company's second collaboration with the Monster Hunter franchise, the first being a successful partnership during the Monster Hunter World: Iceborne release in 2019.
Starting from June 2025, Iwasaki Honpo will release five unique products over a period of five months, with one new item available for order each month. As of September 28, Iwasaki Honpo has launched the fourth installment of this collaboration, a highly anticipated event for fans of the game.
Special Packaging for Fourth Edition
The fourth edition features an eye-catching package showcasing the characters Secreto and Baby Secreto against the backdrop of Kunafa Village. Secreto is a vital character in the game that players rely on during their adventures.
Unique Dumpling Variety
With this special edition, customers can enjoy a unique combination of three Kakuni Manju, which is Iwasaki Honpo's classic offering, paired with three Kunafa Cheese Kakuni Manju inspired by the popular game. This delightful assortment brings a taste of the Monster Hunter universe directly to customers’ tables.
Exclusive Acrylic Keychain
Each collaboration edition comes with an original acrylic keychain featuring a whimsical design that blends the delicious Kakuni Manju with characters from Monster Hunter Wiles. The fun and quirky aesthetic adds a unique collectible aspect to the purchase, making it perfect for dedicated fans and collectors alike.
Game-Themed Designs
The Kakuni Manju in this collaboration is not only delicious but also visually appealing, with designs printed on them that mimic in-game icons like healing potions. As an extra surprise, a few lucky customers may find a rare design featuring a gem printed on their dumpling!
Easy Preparation Instructions
To facilitate an enjoyable eating experience, the packaging includes easy-to-follow reheating instructions. After natural thawing, simply microwave the dumplings at 600W for 40 seconds. Additionally, a specially designed flyer provides clear guidelines to ensure customers can easily warm their meals without error.
Order-Only Products
To fulfill demand and ensure delivery to fans eager for this unique collaboration, Iwasaki Honpo is adopting a made-to-order system for this limited-time offering. Customers can expect delivery about a month after placing their orders, a necessary wait for this special product.
Preview of Fifth Edition
Looking ahead, the fifth and final installment is scheduled to launch for pre-order in late October 2025. This concluding edition promises to showcase a character with a distinctly unique flair, and fans are encouraged to anticipate and enjoy the contrasting designs of the packaging and the acrylic keychain.
