Kyuramen, the popular Japanese ramen chain, is teaming up with Japan’s iconic superhero Ultraman for a month-long celebration this November. Throughout November, 20 participating Kyuramen locations across New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania will feature exclusive Ultraman-themed dishes, merchandise, and more.
Kyuramen Unveils Ultraman-Themed Menu for November
Known for its authentic ramen and approachable prices, Kyuramen offers a true taste of Japanese comfort food. With more than 50 locations nationwide, Kyuramen serves signature bowls featuring tender pork, perfectly soft-boiled eggs, and rich, flavorful broths.
In honor of Ultraman’s upcoming 60th anniversary, Kyuramen is rolling out a limited-edition meal and exclusive merchandise giveaways.
The Ultraman Universe, a creation of Tsuburaya Fields Media & Pictures Entertainment Inc., debuted in 1966 with Ultra Q, and since then it has expanded into dozens of shows, films, and games.
Customers in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts will have the chance to celebrate Ultraman’s milestone year throughout the entire month of November.
David Kornblum, President and CEO of Tsuburaya Fields Media & Entertainment, said, “As we count down to Ultraman’s 60th anniversary, we’re thrilled to partner with Kyuramen, which is one of the fastest-growing ramen chains in the U.S., to bring the Ultraman universe to life in a fun, flavorful way. It’s the perfect pairing of two cultural icons, coming together to inspire a new generation of fans in North America.”
Heroic Feast With Limited-Time Ultraman Menu
The collaboration features a playful Ultraman Curry Rice, molded into the hero’s signature silhouette and detailed with cheese. The meal is also paired with crispy tonkatsu and rich curry sauce.
Kyuramen’s signature Pork Bao Buns also get an Ultraman upgrade, stamped with the superhero’s likeness. The limited-time Ultraman edition meal will be available for dine-in only at 20 selected Kyuramen locations.
“At Kyuramen, we are committed to offering an immersive experience of Japanese culture, both through the flavors we serve and the moments we create for our guests,” said Gary Lin, founder of Kyuramen.

Fans can also collect exclusive Ultraman merchandise, including stickers, fridge magnets redeemable with meal purchases, a tote bag, and a limited-edition folder available at two major Ultraman events.
The Ultraman Live Stage Show will take place November 15-23 at American Dream Mall in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The event will feature stage performances of the 1966 OG Ultraman and Ultraman Omega, an iconic Kaiju.
On November 18, from 6-8 p.m., Japan Society in New York City will host the Ultraman x Japan Society Special Evening, featuring a stage show and screening of the dubbed Ultraman Omega 2025 series. More information regarding the event will be shared soon.
Partnering with Ultraman, an icon that has inspired generations of fans, is very much on brand. We’re thrilled to bring fans together over our signature dishes while celebrating six decades of this legendary superhero,” added Lin.
