Exciting news for those staying in Fukuoka, Saga, and Nagasaki Prefectures in Japan’s Kyushu Region. Do you know the TV show “Fukuoka-kun.”? It’s a popular variety program brimming with local love and curiosity, airing every Sunday on Fukuoka Broadcasting System (FBS). This local show has now teamed up with Japan’s major convenience store chain, 7-Eleven, for a special collaboration.
From January 18 to February 15, 2026, unique food items packed with the show’s signature flair will be available in stores. These collaboration products aren’t just named after the show. They represent a fusion of Japanese convenience store culture and local food traditions, offering a hearty lineup. It’s recommended not only for fans of the show but for anyone interested in Japan’s unique food culture.
The Powerful Carb and Fried Combo: “Onigiri Karaage”
First up is the “Onigiri (Rice Ball)”, a quintessential Japanese convenience store food. But this is no ordinary rice ball. It’s called the “Fuku-kun. Collaboration Onigiri Karaage”.
True to its name, this product integrates “karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken)”—a staple side dish in Japanese bento boxes—into the rice ball itself. The packaging features the show’s distinctive logo. Priced at 260 yen (280.80 yen including tax).
This product stands out prominently even among the convenience store’s rice ball selection. It’s perfect for lunch on busy days or as a quick snack when you need an energy boost. Enjoy the savory flavor of fat soaked into the rice and the crispy texture of the karaage coating with just one hand. (Contains eggs, milk, and wheat as specific allergens)
Hakata’s Soul Food Recreated at the Convenience Store: “Hakata Sara Udon”
Next up is “Sara Udon,” an indispensable part of Fukuoka’s noodle culture. This appears as “Fukuoka-kun. Collaboration Hakata Sara Udon.”
Sara Udon is a beloved Hakata dish featuring noodles topped with a thick, savory broth containing vegetables and seafood. This version uses thick, chewy noodles instead of the usual crispy fried noodles. The price is 530 yen (572.40 yen including tax).
For about 500 yen, you can enjoy an authentic local noodle dish, making it excellent value for money. Heating it in the microwave releases an appetizing aroma. Please try it and discover the ingenuity behind recreating the taste of a restaurant dish right at your local convenience store. (Contains specific allergens: egg, milk, wheat, shrimp, crab)
Sweet-Savory Sauce and Egg’s Mild Flavor: “Teriyaki Sauce and Egg Salad Burger”
Lastly, we introduce a product for bread lovers. The product name is “Fukuoka-kun. Collaboration Burger with Teriyaki Sauce and Egg Salad.”
This burger combines the Japanese-origin flavor “Teriyaki Sauce” with the mellow “Egg Salad.” The rich, sweet-and-savory sauce is gently enveloped by the egg—a foolproof combination. The price is 130 yen (140.40 yen including tax).
This affordable price is a major draw. It’s budget-friendly even when purchased alongside rice balls or noodle dishes. Enjoy it for breakfast with coffee, or as the perfect after-work snack. (Contains eggs, milk, and wheat as specific allergens)
Confirming Sales Area and Period
These collaboration items are exclusively sold at 7-Eleven stores in Fukuoka, Saga, and Nagasaki Prefectures, Japan. If you live in a neighboring prefecture, it might be worth making a trip to visit these three areas.
The sales period runs from January 18 to February 15, 2026. Limited-time items at Japanese convenience stores are extremely popular and often sell out quickly. Competition can be particularly fierce right after launch and on weekends. If you spot the product in-store, we strongly recommend purchasing it immediately.
Also, note that some stores may not carry them or may be sold out. Visiting several stores to hunt for these items is part of the fun of exploring Japanese convenience stores. Enjoying these limited-edition gourmet items while watching local TV programs offers a unique experience specific to this region. Be sure to look for products with the unique logo at your nearest 7-Eleven.
