Zojirushi launches Hello Kitty Limited Edition Collection and it will make you smile

Zojirushi takes a new direction with its new Hello Kitty Limited Edition Collection.

When two icons collaborate, people take notice. For the first time, Zojirushi is collaborating with Sanrio on a special Hello Kitty Limited Edition Collection. The two iconic Japanese brands look to celebrate Sanrio’s 60th anniversary by bringing Hello Kitty into people’s everyday lives.

This collaboration is another example of Sanrio expanding into the food world. Earlier this year, Gudetama was featured on Top Ramen packaging. That beloved lazy egg had many people buying another package of easy to make ramen.

Zojirushi has been a celebrated brand for over 100 years. The rice cookers have been a leader in the industry. From ease of use to durability, these rice cookers have been a kitchen essential staple.

According to Zojirushu’s President and CEO Tatsu Yamaski, “Zojirushi has been nourishing people’s bodies and souls since 1918 and the beloved Sanrio brand has been warming people’s hearts for 60 years. This collaboration of two historic brands from Japan made sense for us.”

While the rice cookers are well-known, more people are familiar with Zojirushi’s stainless steel mugs. The superior vacuum insulation technology allows the mugs to keep beverages cold all day long or warm until that coffee is gone. More importantly, the locking technology prevents spills.

The Hello Kitty rice cooker is an interesting collaboration.
