AKA Virtual is proud to unveil an exciting new partnership between one of our premier VTuber talents, Akemi Nekomachi, and Marugame Udon Indonesia. Together, we’re introducing a special limited-edition menu item: the “Ebi Mentaiko Mayo Udon.” This collaboration represents an bold step forward in blending immersive virtual experiences with real-world consumer experiences.
Since his debut in November 2020, Akemi Nekomachi has quickly become a beloved figure among Indonesian audiences, known for his sharp wit and signature cat-eared charm. Since joining AKA Virtual in 2022, his popularity has surged growing from 40,000 to over 2 million YouTube subscribers, making him one of the most subscribed VTubers globally.
The featured dish combines crispy fried shrimp with rich mentaiko mayonnaise and handcrafted udon noodles, creating a unique, multi-layered flavor experience.
Akemi himself took to social media to promote the collaboration, engaging fans with his signature tone:
“Hi Marugamates & Akehomies!
