AMUSE turns the anime giant rice bowl into a 47 cm plush

AMUSE has revealed its new Super-Size Manga Rice plush, a huggable replica of those impossible mountains of white rice that appear in manga and anime. The figure measures about 47 centimeters tall with the umeboshi included and will arrive in April 2027. The price has not been announced yet.

The Japanese toy brand had already played with food turned into objects: its Futomaki Sushi pencil case rolled school supplies as if they were sushi filling. Now it is rice's turn, piled well above the rim of the bowl into a single huge mound.

There will be two versions. The plain rice one recreates the classic mountain that any shōnen protagonist devours in seconds. The rice with umeboshi one adds a bright red pickled plum on top. Placed on a table, the plush gives the impression that a hero with an insatiable appetite is about to pounce on it.

The charm is that it reproduces something that in fiction is comical because of how exaggerated it is, and that now exists in the real world without having to cook a whole pot. AMUSE is betting on an object that is instantly recognizable to anyone who has seen an overflowing rice bowl in a panel or an anime scene.

For now there is no confirmed price or list of stores. All that is known is that the release is planned for April 2027 and that you will have to choose between the rice alone or the rice with its red plum on top.
