Japanese convenience store chain Lawson is releasing special vacuum-insulated tumblers in collaboration with the globally acclaimed anime series *Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story*.
Starting Wednesday, December 10, 2025, these much-anticipated items will be available in two original designs, exclusively at Lawson stores across Japan and on HMV &BOOKS online. Each tumbler is priced at ¥3,597 (tax included).
In Japan, it is quite common for convenience stores to partner with popular anime and games to release exclusive merchandise. This is a major characteristic of Japanese pop culture, with many fans eagerly anticipating release dates. This latest collaboration with *Rurouni Kenshin* is undoubtedly set to draw huge attention.
Tumblers Featuring the Fateful Showdown Between Kenshin and Shishio
First is the ‘Rurouni Kenshin Vacuum-Insulated Tumbler: Kenshin & Shishio ver.’
This version features the series’ protagonist, Kenshin Himura, on one side and his greatest nemesis, Makoto Shishio, on the other.
The silver-based tumbler is accented with each character’s signature colors, resulting in a design that is both simple and exceptionally cool and stylish. It’s a piece that lets you feel the tense dynamic between the two rivals in your everyday life.
A 360-Degree Design Recreating the Fierce Battles of the Kyoto Arc
The second design is the ‘Rurouni Kenshin Vacuum-Insulated Tumbler: Kyoto Disturbance ver.’
This version features a 360-degree wraparound design showcasing six key characters from the highly popular “Kyoto Arc”: Kenshin Himura, Sanosuke Sagara, Hajime Saito, Makoto Shishio, Sojiro Seta, and Aoshi Shinomori.
This star-studded cast is printed on a silver tumbler base with their respective image colors, creating an irresistible design that allows fans to fully immerse themselves in the world of the story.
Excellent Practicality! Useful Features for All Seasons
These tumblers are not only stylish but also equipped with highly practical features for everyday use.
The tumblers stand approximately 12 cm tall with a top diameter of about 8.5 cm.
A standout feature is that they are designed to perfectly hold cups from Lawson’s in-store coffee brand, MACHI café.
They fit Small and Medium iced coffee cups, as well as Medium and Large hot coffee cups, allowing you to use the tumbler as a holder to maintain your drink’s temperature.
Of course, thanks to their vacuum-insulated structure, their ability to keep drinks hot or cold is exceptional. Cold drinks stay cold, and hot drinks stay hot for hours.
They are also condensation-proof, so you don’t have to worry about your desk getting wet.
Whether you’re watching anime, working, or studying, these tumblers are a fantastic companion for any situation, all year round.
This collaboration is a perfect example of the fusion of Japan’s convenience store and anime cultures, creating a product that symbolizes contemporary Japan.
For fans of *Rurouni Kenshin*, it’s an essential collector’s item, and for those simply in the market for a practical tumbler, it stands as an attractive choice.
Collaborative products with popular anime series often sell out quickly, so if you’re interested, be sure to check your local Lawson on the release date. They are also available for purchase on HMV &BOOKS online.
