Japan Crate Partners with BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. to Let You Roll in Katamari Inspired Snacks

Today Japan Crate and Katamari publisher, Bandai Namco Entertainment America Inc. announce an exciting partnership providing Japan Crate subscribers and Katamari fans with Japanese snacks and sweets alongside an exclusive Katamari collectible only found inside July’s Premium Japan Crate. The crate features food found in the Katamari game, allowing fans to taste iconic Japanese flavors.

The partnership is Japan Crate’s third collaborative crate with BANDAI NAMCO, following the success of the PAC-MAN & God Eater crates. The Katamari x Japan Crate features exclusive Katamari artwork, with a co-branded Katamari x Japan Crate lanyard.

“We’re rolling with excitement to have a crate with Keita Takahashi’s design,” said Anthony Sconzo, VP of Marketing and co-founder of Japan Crate. “There’s not a lot of licensed Katamari merchandise or art available to fans, so we’re thrilled to be able to offer a piece of Video Game and Japanese history to our subscribers.”

The limited edition crate will contain delicious Katamari inspired Japanese candies and snacks in July’s Premium Japan Crate. Crates are available while supplies last at japancrate.com/katamari through June 30th, 2019. Japan Crate follows a subscription model with Premium crates priced at $35 per month.

Japan Crate offers multi-month, prepaid subscriptions which secure partnership and special edition crates such as Katamari Crate for prepaid subscribers.
