It's mid-February 2025.
Gamers are probably getting restless.
You guessed right! "Monster Hunter Wilds" is set to be released on Friday, February 28, 2025!
Leading up to the release of this big title, the second Sushiro x Monster Hunter collaboration began on Wednesday, February 12, 2025!
Sushiro x Monster Hunter Collaboration Vol. 2 Kicks Off!
Sushiro is currently holding a Monster Hunter collaboration from Wednesday, February 12, 2025!
The first collaboration in March 2024 was very popular, and this time it started right before the release of the latest title, "Monster Hunter Wilds."
This time, Fujii Yodan (@MTNRFG) from the YouTube channel "Shogi ga Dekinai Fujii Yodan" is reviewing the food!
It seems his middle and high school years were the prime era for "Monster Hunter Portable 2nd" to "Monster Hunter Portable 3rd," and he spent his youth secretly playing under the covers at night and getting scolded.
This Sushiro x Monster Hunter collaboration features a total of four items: three with collaboration-limited picks and one with a collaboration-limited bottle.
First up is the "Monster Hunter: 3 Kinds of Meat Platter with Collaboration-Limited Pick"!
The "Monster Hunter: 3 Kinds of Meat Platter with Collaboration-Limited Pick" is a luxurious dish piled high with teriyaki chicken, salted pork kalbi, and Wagyu sashitoro.
Fujii Yodan quickly devoured it, muttering, "Seriously..."
I wanted to retort as soon as it came out, "They've physically piled on too much meat…! Eating chicken, pork, and beef all at once is nothing short of luxurious!"
It was voluminous and delicious, and the feeling of satisfaction after eating it was truly like "Hunting." There's a sense of accomplishment.
- Product Name: Monster Hunter: 3 Kinds of Meat Platter with Collaboration-Limited Pick
- Price: From 280 yen (tax included)
- Sales Period: From Wednesday, February 12, 2025, until all 315,000 ordered picks are sold out.
Next is the "Monster Hunter: Tuna Nigiri with Collaboration-Limited Pick."
True to Sushiro, it's an impressive dish piled high with tuna.
Fujii Yodan, completely in the mindset of a hunter, had this expression even without the camera pointing at him.
Again, a plate of pure luxury.
There was an absurd amount of tuna on it, and the moist marinated tuna and incredibly fatty toro were absolutely delicious.
Also, Zinogre and Nargacuga are from my generation, so it's exciting.
- Product Name: Monster Hunter: Tuna Nigiri with Collaboration-Limited Pick
- Price: From 280 yen (tax included)
- Sales Period: From Wednesday, February 12, 2025, until all 360,000 ordered picks are sold out.
The "Monster Hunter: 3 Kinds of Meat Platter with Collaboration-Limited Pick" and "Monster Hunter: Tuna Nigiri with Collaboration-Limited Pick" each come with one random collaboration pick featuring past monsters.
The lineup includes a total of 10 monsters, selected from the top ranks of the monster general election held to commemorate the series' 20th anniversary.
- Nergigante
- Zinogre
- Lagiacrus
- Valstrax
- Gore Magala
- Velkhana
- Nargacuga
- Fatalis
- Alatreon
- Malzeno
And here is the "Monster Hunter! Bone-in Sausage with Collaboration-Limited Pick."
It's an impactful, bone-in dish, just like something out of Monster Hunter.
Go ahead and take a bite!
By the way, I asked him to "hold it like a Monster Hunter meal," but isn't it a bit too refined?
I'm starting to doubt if he's actually played Monster Hunter.
It was a simple, superb bone-in sausage that you could just bite into as your desires dictated.
The skin was crispy and delicious!
- Product Name: Monster Hunter! Bone-in Sausage with Collaboration-Limited Pick
- Price: From 280 yen (tax included)
- Sales Period: From Wednesday, February 12, 2025, until all 225,000 ordered picks are sold out.
The collaboration pick that comes randomly with the "Monster Hunter! Bone-in Sausage with Collaboration-Limited Pick" is from the latest title, "Monster Hunter Wilds"!
The lineup includes:
- Arkveld
- Ajarakan
- Uth Duna
- Rey Dau
- Doshaguma
- Chatacabra
- Yian Kut-Ku
- Congalala
- Felyne
- Seikret
They range from new monsters embodying unique ecosystems to nostalgic returning monsters.
You'll definitely want to collect them all, but since it's one random pick per plate, you're likely to be forced into a fierce battle, just like a "Multi-Monster Hunt."
It might be a good idea to consider multiple visits...
And another collaboration menu item you'll want to order with your sushi is the "Monster Hunter Collaboration-Limited Potion-Style Bottle with Soft Drink."
It comes with one random collaboration-limited bottle modeled after the icons for Potions, Dash Juices, or Demondrugs!
There are exams held everywhere in February.
I thought I'd boost my strength with Demondrug and work hard, but I was expelled from college.
- Product Name: Monster Hunter Collaboration-Limited Potion-Style Bottle with Soft Drink
- Price: From 980 yen (tax included)
- Sales Period: From Wednesday, February 12, 2025, until all 135,000 ordered bottles are sold out.
"Toyosu the Fish Market x Sushiro" Also Happening Simultaneously
Sushiro is also holding "Toyosu the Fish Market x Sushiro" until Sunday, February 16, 2025.
Saiga NAKFrom fatty tuna to marinated lean tuna and negitoro tsutsumi, I was surprised at how colorful the same tuna could be.
I started with the fatty tuna, and it was very thick and luxurious.
The seared soy sauce chu-toro was incredibly juicy and melts-in-your-mouth delicious from the seared flesh.
The aroma of sesame on the marinated lean tuna was a nice accent, and I was astonished by the incredibly generous amount of fatty tuna in the negitoro tsutsumi.
Even just the lean tuna felt different than usual; I think it's a dish where you can taste the superb discernment of Komehiko.
- Product Name: Toyosu Natural Honmaguro 6-piece Platter
- Price: From 1,120 yen (tax included)
- Sales Period: From Wednesday, January 29, 2025, to Sunday, February 16, 2025
- Planned Sales Quantity: 520,000 servings
The "Toyosu Natural Honmaguro 6-piece Platter," carefully selected by tuna wholesaler "Komehiko," and the "Edomae Artisan Sushi 5-piece Platter," supervised by the famous restaurant "Daiwa Sushi," which always has a line.
Both sets are satisfying and recommended for a slightly luxurious lunch!
Saiga NAKI was told that if the previous dish was "Toyosu's discernment," this one was "Toyosu's 'technique'," and then I tried it.
It was my second encounter with the marinated lean tuna, and eating it again, I was consciously aware of the moist texture of the "marinating," and it was delicious.
The horse mackerel was also delicious with the ginger acting as a good accent, and the octopus was crunchy, allowing me to enjoy the texture.
The umami of the conger eel and the sweetness of the "nitsume" sauce spreading in my mouth was also delicious.
I ate the salted salmon roe and squid thin roll, surprised at how well the saltiness of the salmon roe and the sweetness of the squid paired! This was a new discovery after 30 years of living.
- Product Name: Edomae Artisan Sushi 5-piece Platter
- Price: From 880 yen (tax included)
- Sales Period: From Wednesday, January 29, 2025, until sold out.
- Planned Sales Quantity: 280,000 servings
A Japanese sweets platter featuring datemaki Omelet supervised by the famous restaurant "Marutake"!
It's an excellent combination with candied sweet potatoes and ice cream.
Saiga NAKI only had an image of datemaki as "something I've heard of in New Year's osechi ryori," but I was surprised to see it presented as a dessert with ice cream.
The moist, gently sweet datemaki was perfectly complemented by the cold, refreshing matcha ice cream, making for an absolutely brilliant pairing.
I'll admit that whoever thought of eating datemaki and matcha ice cream together is a genius.
And as expected, Sushiro's candied sweet potatoes are crispy and delicious.
Daigaku Imo (Candied sweet potatoes) are good. Daigaku Imo... Daigaku (college)...
- Product Name: Datemaki & Japanese Sweets Platter
- Price: From 330 yen (tax included)
