The soul food of Tadayuki Kato, SSZ and Minnano have teamed up to produce a shioumai bento box from Saki Yoken as merchandise.

No matter how old we get, our attachment to the foods we have grown accustomed to since childhood never changes.

SSZ's director, who grew up in Yokohama, Japan.Tadayuki KatoFor Mr. Kosaka, it is a shioumai bento box from Sakiyo-ken. It is a taste that he remembers from events such as athletic meets and firemen's ceremonies, and it is like soul food for him. The main dish is shioumai, with side dishes such as simmered bamboo shoots, grilled marinated tuna, and fried chicken. The side dishes are bamboo shoot stew, marinated grilled tuna, and deep-fried chicken, with bean jam and bale-shaped rice for chopstick rest. He says that everything is perfectly balanced.

SSZ has planned apparel and goods based on the theme of shiomai bento. Minnano, which has produced numerous souvenir T-shirts for Machinaka and other brands, was in charge of the graphics, completing this special triple collaboration.

T-shirts ¥9,350 each

Sweatshirt ¥20,900

SBQ bandana ¥2,420 each

Cap ¥7,480 each

Key ring ¥1,980

As you can see, T-shirts and sweatshirts are emblazoned with SSZ's well-known notebook-shaped pith name tags, tickling the hearts of fans. The SBQ bandana, a popular "minnano" item, features the names of various items on the Saki Yoken bento menu, creating a fun design to look at. The bandana can also be used as a lap blanket when eating bento, so there is no need to worry about spills.

A cap and key ring featuring a graphic of "Hyo-chan," the gourd-shaped soy sauce container essential for shaomai bento, are also available, as well as a full lineup of accessories.

The collaboration items introduced will go on sale at BEAMS LIFE Yokohama on December 12 (Fri.). A launch party will be held on the same day from 6:00 p.m. A DJ will entertain the crowd, and those who spend 5,500 yen or more will receive a Saki Yoken "pocket siu mai" as a gift.

This collaboration focused on Sakiyoken is a must-see for both Hamakko and Shiumai Lovers.
