Japanese fans have a chance to win a special set of Pikachu themed prizes. Kagome, a Japanese food company specializing in tomato based product, has announced a new contest to win one of three items that combine Pikachu and ketchup.Prizes include a Pikachu ketchup blanket, a Pikachu shaped backback (the Pikachu is holding a ketchup bottle, of course) and a hug pillow shaped like a giant ketchup bottle with a sleeping Pikachu.

In order to win one of the three prizes, participants only need to mail in a postcard found on Kagome’s website.Winners will be chosen via a lottery system.The contest will run through the end of August.

Kagome also released several Pokemon-themed recipes to promote the contest.Some of the food items include a Pikachu omelette and a Pikachu riceball made using seaweed, tomatoes and cheese.
