Kura Sushi has partnered with Atlus to bring the characters from the Persona series into the restaurants for a new promotion. Starting on August 1, you'll see three new menu items in the form of the Weird Takoyaki Tempura Roll, the Rainy Day Special Beef Bowl, and the Calling Card Tuna Roll, all of which have a tie-in with the video games. Also, much as they have done with previous collabs, you can receive a single randomized Persona x Kura Sushi Bikkura Pon capsule prize after consuming sushi plates. When you turn the plates in, you'll see a small story/game pop up, where you'll get a capsule at 15, 25, then every 15 plates thereafter. In all, they will have 11 collectible sticker three-piece sets, acrylic charms, and can badges. We have more details about it below from the company.
