Ippudo is marking its 41st anniversary with a collaboration with the picture-book series Pan Dorobou. From November 1 to November 23, 2026, domestic Ippudo group locations will offer a limited Ramen Burger & Tonkotsu Ramen Set, Pan Dorobou Puku Puku stickers, and collaboration goods.
Pan Dorobou is a picture-book series by Shibata Keiko, published by KADOKAWA. Its surreal, mischievous characters and humorous stories have helped it surpass 6.2 million copies in circulation. The latest volume, Pan Dorobou to Sasurai Ramen, went on sale in September 2026, and a TV anime began airing in October.
Ramen burger meets tonkotsu ramen
The collaboration is inspired by ramen appearing in the Pan Dorobou story. The Ramen Burger & Tonkotsu Ramen Set costs 1,480 yen (tax included) and pairs tonkotsu ramen with a ramen burger. The burger uses an original bun blended with Ippudo’s noodle-specific wheat flour Kaze, filled with a special teriyaki chashu pate. Teriyaki sauce and mayonnaise are added, with red ginger as an accent.
Sticker schedule
Each order of the set comes with one Pan Dorobou Puku Puku sticker. Two designs will be distributed by period: the first from November 1 to 7, and the second from November 8 to 14. From November 15 to 23, customers will receive one of the designs at random. The stickers are limited in quantity for each round and distribution ends when stock runs out. Customers cannot choose the design.
Cooking and ramen goods
The collaboration goods include the Wakuwaku Cooking Set, priced at 2,980 yen (tax included) each for adult and child versions, and the My Ramen Set, also 2,980 yen (tax included). The cooking set comes with an apron and bandana for adults or children, and the bandana is the same size for both versions. The My Ramen Set includes a bowl, chopsticks, and a chopstick rest. The goods are designed to let fans enjoy the Pan Dorobou and Ippudo worlds at home.
Dates, stores, and purchase notes
The collaboration menu and goods will be available from November 1 to November 23, 2026 at all domestic Ippudo, IPPUDO RAMEN EXPRESS, RAMEN EXPRESS Hakata Ippudo, and Ippudo KAY locations. Goods are sold at in-store registers and can only be purchased when dining in; takeout is not eligible. Products and stickers are limited, and sales or distribution will end when stock runs out.
