The original anime series Yuri!!! on Ice will team up with Saga prefecture’s local revitalization project, Saga Prize!

The birthplace of the skating anime’s protagonist, Yuri Katsuki, is Hasetsu in the Kyushu region, which is modeled on Karatsu city in Saga prefecture. In the anime we can see many of Saga’s symbolic buildings and food specialties including Karatsu Castle, Karatsu Station, and the squid from Yobuko town.

Saga Surprise will hold an event in Tokyo and tie up with Karatsu to entertain the anime’s visiting fans with various exciting projects. They will also be selling special collaborative goods based on the anime and local specialties.

Further information on this special collaboration will be announced on Saga Surprise’s official website.
