Atlus is teaming up with Japanese BBQ restaurant chain Gyu-Kaku for a fun collaboration celebrating the releases of Persona 5 Tactica.

Persona 5 Tactica is a new strategy RPG set in the Persona universe and starring the cast of Persona 5. The Phantom Thieves, after being transported to a surreal world, must deal with a mysterious horde of enemies alongside new allies.

Gyu-Kaku is a chain of Japanese BBQ restaurants offering customers the chance to engage in Yakiniku, a Japanese style of cooking that involves grilling over a flame, making for an engaging and dynamic cooking experience (trust when I say it’s a great first-date spot).

The Persona 5 Tactica x Gyu-Kaku collaboration brings themed drinks to Gyu-kaku’s already fun drink menu. Diners who spend at least $30 can enter a special giveaway to get a standee keychain adorned with artwork of Persona 5 Tactica’s characters.

The Drinks Include:

• Phantom Judge – Cucumber Lemonade with Club Soda and Red Bull Sugarfree
• Flag of Freedom – Cranberry Juice with Red Bull Original
• Brigantine Blitzkrieg – Mocktail Piña Colada with Red Bull Yellow Edition

To Enter the Keychain Giveaway:

1. Purchase a Persona 5 Tactica drink
2. Post the photo to (1) social platform along with the hashtags #Persona5Tactica and #GyuKaku
3. Show your post to a staff member to receive your keychain!* Collect all five keychains!
