Two Japanese icons just joined forces and it’s too cute to handle.

Kikkoman and Hello Kitty have teamed up for a limited-edition soy sauce dispenser that’s equal parts adorable and legendary. Yes, the same classic teardrop-shaped Kikkoman bottle you’ve seen on restaurant tables and kitchen counters worldwide now comes decked out with Sanrio’s most beloved feline.

But don’t be fooled by the cute factor, this isn’t just decor. Designed by the late, great Kenji Ekuan, the dispenser’s form is so iconic it earned a permanent spot in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) for its perfect pour design.

Past special editions of Kikkoman’s dispenser—including Hello Kitty collabs—have become cult collectibles, some reselling for over $300. This latest drop? It’ll only run you about $4 at spots like H Mart, Mitsuwa, and Nijiya, or nationwide at World Market.

For design nerds, foodies, and Sanrio stans alike, this might just be the most adorable way to season your rice bowl. And judging by the official collab post already pulling over 25k likes, everyone’s ready to welcome this kitchen essential.
