Fist of the North Star anime collaborates with Japanese izakaya brands

The izakaya brands Miraizaka and Sandaime Torimero are launching a collaboration campaign with the anime series ‘Fist of the North Star’ to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the original manga. Running from September 16 to October 29, 2026, the campaign, titled ‘Century End Tavern: You Are Already Drinking!’, will be held across 185 participating locations.

The collaboration features 12 themed drinks, including eight alcoholic, three non-alcoholic, and one dessert option. These menus are inspired by iconic characters such as Kenshiro, Raoh, Toki, Rei, and Yuria. Notable items include the ‘Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken Sour’, which uses popping candy to mimic the impact of the character's signature move, and the ‘Raoh-inspired Ginger Sour’.

Customers purchasing themed drinks will receive one of nine character-designed stirrers. Additionally, a receipt-based sweepstakes will offer prizes including ink-wash style T-shirts, acrylic blocks, and themed beer mugs for customers who spend 3,000 yen or more during the campaign period.
