Dive into a Pixelated Feast: Marumiya Unveils New Minecraft Ochazuke!
Get ready to craft your next meal with a touch of gaming magic! Marumiya Food Industry, a household name in Japan, is set to launch an exciting new collaboration: “Minecraft Ochazuke.” This innovative product, marrying the beloved sandbox game with a traditional Japanese comfort food, will hit shelves on February 19, 2026.
Ochazuke, a classic Japanese dish, involves pouring hot green tea or dashi (savory broth) over cooked rice, often topped with various ingredients. It’s cherished for its warmth and simplicity, much like a hearty soup. Now, Marumiya is bringing the blocky charm of Minecraft to this comforting meal, offering a delightful experience for fans of all ages.
A Blocky Twist on a Japanese Classic
The new Minecraft Ochazuke comes packed with four individual servings of mild-flavored nori (seaweed). What makes it truly special is the thoughtful design: the nori pieces are cut into perfect squares, directly mirroring the iconic pixelated aesthetic of the Minecraft world. Each bite offers a subtle nod to the game’s immersive environment.
Beyond its playful appearance, this Ochazuke is also fortified with calcium, making it a wholesome choice that parents can feel good about. It’s a gentle, flavorful addition to any meal, designed to appeal to children while delivering a comforting taste.
Collectible Sparkle: Exclusive Minecraft Stickers Await!
Adding an extra layer of excitement, each pack of Minecraft Ochazuke includes one of Marumiya’s original “Sparkling Stickers.” There are 20 unique designs to collect, featuring various characters and elements from the Minecraft universe. These shimmering stickers are sure to become a treasured find for any fan, encouraging repeat purchases as collectors seek to complete their sets. Enthusiastic players often exclaim, “I gotta catch ’em all!” when it comes to game merchandise, and these stickers are no exception.
