Have no clue what you’re doing for New Year’s yet? Well, maybe now you at least have dinner figured out: With this precooked 26-dish osechi set for ¥14,580 (about $136, delivery included), you can stuff yourself on crab legs, daikon, and chestnut paste, and still have plenty of leftovers the next day. It’s Kenko Sansai’s healthier version of the traditional year-end feast, but inside a Poké Ball, and with at least 100 percent more manga than usual.

The very faithfully re-created orb houses two bento-style boxes lined with a vast assortment of goodies, from hamburger patties and star-shaped fruit to mochi, herring eggs, and stewed kumquat. All of them have special, highly significant meaning, too, according to Japanese New Year tradition, which probably means you won’t get a pass on those large black soybeans, either.
