Yukirin x AKB48 Cafe Collaboration News Roundup

Posted on Jan 14th, 2014 in AKB48, News | 1 comment

Yukirin has helped promote the Kagoshima Prefecture since 2011. In 2012, promotion was focused on regions west of the Kansai area. On January 14, 2014, a press conference was held at the AKB48 cafe to announce a special collaboration between the “Real. Kagoshima Prefecture” campaign and AKB48 Cafe. Yukirin, as the Satsuma Ambassador, supervised the creation of 4 dishes for the latest promotion. All four dishes were shown to the media and are part of the Cafe’s limited special “Kagoshima Prefecture Collaboration Menu” which starts from January 15 and runs until February 13 only. Anyone that orders a dish from the special Kagoshima Collaboration menu will also get a special limited coaster (as oppose to the normal coasters you get when you order something at the cafe). There are 12 versions total with pictures of Yukirin taken in Kagoshima.

The Kagoshima Collaboration Menu:

Top Right: Kagoshima Yukirin Dakuma Sandwich (Play on Daruma, instead of ruma, it’s Kuma which means bear)
Bottom Left: Sweet Potato Yukirin Dakuma Roll
Bottom Right: White Yukirin Dakuma Jelly

During the press conference, when asked which AKB48 member she would like to try one of her dishes, Yukirin answered “Mayuyu, from the same generation, loves to eat meat with rice so I want her to try the TeriYuki donburi.”

As for Yukirin’s plans and hopes for 2014, she said “First, I want a successful live in March at the National Olympic Stadium with AKB members.” As for herself, “Personally, I want to study music more and sing songs that can resonate with people.” As for her second year as Satsuma Ambassador, questions about Kagoshima has increased quite a bit so she talked about “having a big responsibility” and that “she wants to promote the Kagoshima Prefecture to various people as the Satsuma Ambassador.”
