Yamada Heiando, a renowned lacquerware brand, has delighted Pokemon fans by releasing a unique set of three Pokemon bowls inspired by the Chinese Zodiac. Dive into the details of these exquisite, limited-edition bowls!
Enjoy Your Meals with Artisanal Pokemon Bowls
Featuring Pikachu, Ekans, and Dragonite
Yamada Heiando, a cherished Japanese lacquerware brand, joined forces with The Pokémon Company to craft these bowls, each representing a Chinese Zodiac animal using time-honored techniques. The chosen Pokémon are Pikachu (rat), Ekans (snake), and Dragonite (dragon).
These bowls are not just functional; they are described by Yamada Heiando as "gentle guardians watching over you and your children as you enjoy your meals together." The company focuses on the joy and development of babies and children, expressing, "We hope this product will become a vessel that allows you to watch and rejoice together in your child’s happy daily growth."
Each bowl carries a meaningful association with a child's development: Pikachu embodies kindness, Ekans represents growth, and Dragonite symbolizes openness.
Due to their high demand, these beautifully crafted bowls sold out within hours of their launch on January 17, 2025. A second chance to purchase them will be available starting January 31. Note that purchases are limited to two items per person.
Priced at 16,500 JPY, which is about $105 USD, these bowls are also available with international shipping, though additional costs may apply based on packaging size, peak season surcharges, and aviation fuel prices.
Yamada Heiando has hinted at future releases of other Pokémon-themed zodiac bowls, so keep an eye on January 31 to secure these delightful pieces.
