For those unfamiliar, "Osechi" (おせち) refers to special dishes prepared in Japan for significant celebrations, especially during the New Year period, often called "Shogatsu Ryori" or "Osechi Ryori."
Get ready, Evangelion fans! As the iconic anime series celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, it's dropping a brand-new "Evangelion Osechi 2027 New Year's Feast" (エヴァンゲリオンおせち2027) for pre-order! This epic set combines beautifully crafted dishes with a stunning box and a ton of exclusive bonus merch. Priced at 23,650 JPY, it's available now for order on the DeAgostini Japan official website.
This "Evangelion Osechi 2027 New Year's Feast" isn't just about the food; it masterfully integrates the imagery of Unit-01 and other iconic mechs and characters into its two-tiered Osechi box. Plus, it comes packed with multiple limited-edition bonuses you won't find anywhere else!
The two-tiered box holding the Osechi features an original design, prominently showcasing the NERV logo and the unit numbers for Unit-01 and Unit-02. And that's not all! It also includes a water-repellent furoshiki (traditional Japanese wrapping cloth) that blends the iconic A.T. Field with traditional Japanese patterns, making it both practical and a must-have collector's item.
The Osechi itself is a perfectly balanced two-tiered feast, featuring both Japanese and Western-style dishes. Each layer is designed with Evangelion mechs and characters in mind, offering a total of 37 exquisite dishes, from classic New Year's staples to specially crafted creative delights.
First Tier
This tier takes its design cues from the signature colors of Unit-00, Unit-01, and Unit-02, with each color representing a vertical row of dishes. The result is a vibrant Osechi spread bursting with mech-inspired flair!
Second Tier
Meanwhile, the second tier uses carefully selected ingredients to embody the series' characters, creating a character-themed Osechi that's full of personality.
They even went the extra mile with special food containers inspired by Shinji and Kaworu's plugsuits, letting fans dive deeper into the world of Evangelion while enjoying their meal.
