Exclusive goods only available at one Pok\u00e9mon Center in Japan.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

On 13 May, the Pok\u00e9mon Center in Fukuoka<\/strong> closed its original location at Hakata AMU Plaza in order to move to a new, larger location at Hakata Marui, set to open on 27 June.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The character mascots for Pok\u00e9mon Center Fukuoka are Pikachu<\/strong>, Latias<\/strong>, and Latios<\/strong>, chosen for their connection to Kyushu, the island where Fukuoka is located, and which serves as the inspiration for Hoenn, the setting for several main Pok\u00e9mon games.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While the revamp is certain to attract the attention of fans, the Center is adding another perk to draw visitors, with an exclusive collaboration with popular ramen chain Ippudo<\/strong>. Born in Fukuoka, this chain is widely known for its \u201cAkamaru\u201d (\u201cRed\u201d) and \u201cShiromaru\u201d (\u201cWhite\u201d) ramen, and these signature dishes form the basis for the collaboration.<\/p>\n

There are six items to collect, starting with the \u201cIppudo Silky Tonkotsu Ramen Shiromaru Original\/Akamaru New Flavour 2-Pack Set<\/strong>\u201c.<\/p>\n

\u25bc The pack, like the other items in the range, features the three character mascots, with Pikachu dressed as a ramen chef.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Priced at 972 yen (US$6.74), this set contains one serving each of red and white broth, complete with noodles and condiments to give you the authentic Ippudo experience at home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u25bc Next up, we have the Ippudo Akamaru Arita Ware Bowl<\/strong> (6,930 yen)\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u25bc \u2026 and the Ippudo Shiromaru Arita Ware Bowl<\/strong> (5,940 yen).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u25bc Those wanting a less angular bowl that\u2019s more like the type used for donburi rice bowls can invest in the Ippudo Mini Donburi<\/strong>, for 3,300 yen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u25bc Pikachu, Latias, and Latios also appear on the Ippudo Chopsticks & Chopstick Rest Set<\/strong> (1,540 yen)\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u25bc \u2026 and the Ippudo Renge<\/strong> ramen spoon (1,540 yen)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Both the Shiromaru, with its classic creamy tonkotsu (pork bone) broth, and the Akamaru, with added spicy red miso paste, have their diehard followers, and this set lets members of each faction enjoy their favourite variety at home, with Pok\u00e9mon characters on board as dining companions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The ramen, bowls, chopsticks, and soup spoons look sure to be a hit with both ramen and Pok\u00e9mon lovers, but quantities are limited, so you\u2019ll have to act fast to catch \u2019em.<\/p>\n

The items can be purchased from 10:00 a.m. on 27 June at Pok\u00e9mon Center Fukuoka and Pok\u00e9mon Center Online<\/a>, although they will be available for sale at a special pre-opening preview event at the store on 26 June. After the official opening, entry restrictions by advance lottery may be implemented to avoid congestion inside the store, so please check the official Pok\u00e9mon website<\/a> for updates.<\/p>\n
