"Osechi" (おせち) refers to special dishes prepared by Japanese people for major holidays, especially during the New Year period, which is why it's also known as Shōgatsu Ryōri or Osechi Ryōri.
The King of the Monsters, Godzilla, has just announced a brand-new 2027 New Year's Osechi set available for pre-order! This highly sought-after item, which sells out instantly every year, combines exquisite packaging, delicious dishes, and a plethora of exclusive bonus merchandise. This year, it's available in both a Standard Edition and a luxurious DX Edition, letting fans celebrate the New Year with their favorite kaiju.
2027 marks the 25th anniversary of "Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla," and this "Godzilla Osechi 2027" set is themed around the film, incorporating Mechagodzilla, classic Godzilla, and other Toho kaiju into its dishes. Even the two-tiered jubako (Osechi box) features an original design and comes with several luxurious bonus items.
First Tier: Packed with Godzilla and Toho Kaiju Elements
The first tier features a variety of popular Toho kaiju-themed dishes, along with special appetizers inspired by "Type-3 Kiryu" (Mechagodzilla), served in containers emblazoned with the Kiryu Unit logo. It's absolutely bursting with references to "Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla."
You'll also find luxurious roast beef wrapped in packaging designed to resemble Godzilla's (2002) silver belt, alongside a rich assortment of popular ingredients. Plus, even Godzilla's footprints have been transformed into adorable and distinctive nerikiri wagashi, adding a cute touch of Godzilla to the cuisine.
Second Tier: Mechagodzilla, Mothra, and More Make an Appearance
The second tier includes several dishes inspired by Type-3 Kiryu, and Mothra, a classic character from the "Godzilla Osechi" series, gets a fresh new culinary presentation.
Additionally, there are meat dishes like hamburger steaks, with the overall flavors specially designed to be kid-friendly, making it perfect for the whole family to enjoy together.
Beyond the delicious food itself, the "Godzilla Osechi 2027" also comes packed with collectible bonus items, ensuring fans get both a tasty meal and plenty of post-feast display fun. Both the Standard and DX Editions include the following special perks:
