Kurimanju's sake night: carafe, cup, oden plate and placemat

In the manga, Kurimanju's "Haaah!!" after the first sip is legendary, and this tableware set turns that moment into something you can actually use. The Kurimanju's Good Drinker Sake Carafe is a white ceramic tokkuri of about 170 ml (roughly 4.4 cm across and 13.5 cm tall) featuring Kurimanju's name logo. It pairs with the matching Kurimanju's Good Drinker Sake Cup.

Round the table off with the Kurimanju's Hearty Eater Oden Plate, and the Kurimanju Placemat (Haaah!!) in teal. Together they make a lovely gift for anyone who enjoys a cosy night in, with or without sake.

The light-up lantern keychain

The small hero of the wave is the Kurimanju Light-Up Lantern Keychain. It is a red izakaya-style chochin lantern about 5 cm tall with a little drink charm, and it lights up just like the real thing. Clip it to a bag and you have a pocket-sized izakaya wherever you go.

Kurimanju "Alcohol-Free" apparel and the MUSICIAN tee

The apparel line is a running joke from the story: Kurimanju forgot their drinking permit, so it is "STOP DRINKING" for now. The Alcohol-Free Kurimanju Sweatshirt is black with Kurimanju's face finished in raised sashiko-style embroidery, and it comes with matching sweatpants, a long sleeve T-shirt, a cap and socks. It works as everyday streetwear or comfy loungewear.

Prefer something lighter? The MUSICIAN (Kurimanju) T-shirt is a fun printed tee, and the rugby shirt and Eat & Drink knit cardigan add autumn layers.

Eating Meat Bun mascots and Warm & Fluffy Blankets

For classic Chiikawa cuteness, the Eating Meat Bun mascots show Chiikawa, Hachiware, Usagi and Momonga in knitted scarves, each hugging a steaming nikuman. They are about 10 cm tall on a ball chain, perfect for bags. Start with the Eating Meat Bun Mascot (Chiikawa) and find the rest in the same wave.

The Warm & Fluffy Blanket (Chiikawa) is a soft 70 × 100 cm lap blanket in pastel pink with a big Chiikawa face, with Hachiware, Usagi and Momonga versions too. With winter on the way, it is an easy pick for the sofa or the office.
