Good news, vegetarians: now you can get your non-animal proteins and your robot cat fix in one place as VIZ Media and SoCal manufacturer House Foods Corporation have joined forces to offer a tofu product line featuring Doraemon packaging. VIZ is the North & Latin American master merchandise licensee for the globally popular Japanese property.
The House Foods Doraemon campaign will be featured prominently across seven of the company’s “Premium Tofu” brands, available at retailers nationwide through March 20, 2015. The manufacturer will also be running a Lunar Chinese New Year sweepstakes on its website and Facebook page from February 1 through March 15.
