The set costs 23,650 yen including tax, with orders accepted until November 30 and delivery scheduled for December 30, 2026. The centerpiece is an original-design jubako box marked with the NERV logo, the words \"NERV ONLY\" and \"TOP SECRET,\" and the unit numbers EVA-01 and EVA-02. Inside are 37 varieties of Japanese and Western dishes arranged in two tiers: the first tier uses the unit colors of Unit-00, Unit-01, and Unit-02, while the second tier expresses the pilot characters through selected ingredients, including a hamburg steak and broccoli dish inspired by Shinji's lunchbox and a truffle-flavored fruit fromage in Kaworu's image color. The set also includes a water-repellent furoshiki printed with the A.T. Field, paper coasters featuring the five pilots in New Year's attire, celebratory chopsticks with a Unit-01 wrapper, a Lance of Longinus-shaped pick about 15 cm long, and character decoration picks. Planning and manufacturing is by Yamafuku Co., Ltd., with manufacturing consigned to Oichi Chinmi Co., Ltd. The product is frozen and quick-frozen at a domestic factory.","whyItMatters":"The osechi leans into the series' 30th anniversary, which the sources note was celebrated in 2025, and the project title \"2027 Osechi Completion Plan\" plays on the franchise's lore to sell a food product as a collector's item.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe Evangelion Osechi 2027 set is built around the theme \u0026#34;Osechi Completion Plan,\u0026#34; a pun on the series\u0026#39; Human Instrumentality Project, and comes with a top-secret stamp. The jubako\u0026#39;s lid carries the NERV ONLY and TOP SECRET markings, while the sides list EVA-01 and EVA-02. The first tier is a colorful arrangement using the unit colors of Unit-00, Unit-01, and Unit-02, with a NERV mark pick stuck in the center. The second tier includes a menu item inspired by the lunchbox Shinji made, hamburg steak with broccoli in consomme flavor, and a Kaworu-themed fruit fromage with truffle flavor and cherry compote. Container sleeves inspired by the plugsuits of Shinji and Kaworu are hidden beneath the dishes, a detail the sources describe as a gimmick that appears after serving. The Lance of Longinus-shaped pick is about 15 cm long, and the character decoration picks can be removed from a sheet and arranged freely. The set also includes a water-repellent furoshiki with the A.T. Field pattern, paper coasters of the five pilots with the numbers 00, 01, 02, 06, and 08, and three pairs of celebratory chopsticks.
