Get Ready for New Year's Now by Pre-Ordering a Sumptuous Pokeball Feast

posted on by Bamboo Dong

It may feel a little too early to start planning for the end of the year, but not if you want to reserve a traditional Japanese New Year osechi feast, packaged in a Pokeball juubako.

Packaged meal company Kenkosansai's two-tiered Pokeball is packed with delectable bites, many of which are traditional foods with symbolic meanings.

Layer 1:

  • chicken vegetable rolls
  • salmon sashimi rose
  • pineapple stars
  • mochi kinchaku (rice cake-stuffed tofu)
  • heart-shaped carrots
  • chestnut paste
  • chestnut compote
  • demi-glace hamburger
  • tamagoyaki (Japanese omelette)
  • imitation crab kamaboko (fish paste) and cheese roll
  • salmon roe
  • crab claws
  • candied baby peaches
  • sakura-shaped radish

Layer 2:

  • Red and white kamaboko
  • datemaki (sweet rolled omelette)
  • seaweed-wrapped pork rolls
  • simmered shrimp
  • black soybeans
  • plum mochi
  • herring roe
  • kumquat compote
  • shredded kintoki ninjin carrots
  • dried sardines
  • pine needles
  • strawberry daifuku

Each meal costs 13,500 yen (about US$126), and will be delivered frozen to most Japanese households or businesses. It is ready to eat after thawing.
