Slime shaped Dragon Quest salt and pepper shakers go back on sale
Square Enix has reopened pre-orders for its highly popular Slime and King Slime-themed condiment set.
This delightful kitchen accessory allows users to store salt, pepper, or other seasonings inside the iconic monster designs.
Dragon Quest, a foundational series in the role-playing game genre, first appeared in 1986.
Created by Yuji Horii, with character designs by Akira Toriyama (of Dragon Ball fame) and music by Koichi Sugiyama, the franchise is renowned for its charming aesthetic, turn-based combat, and memorable monsters.
Among its vast bestiary, the Slime stands out as the most recognizable and beloved, often serving as the series’ adorable, tear-drop shaped mascot, while the King Slime represents a more regal and challenging evolution of the creature.
The condiment sets feature two of Dragon Quest’s most recognizable figures: the classic Slime and the majestic King Slime.
Crafted from ceramic, these condiment containers boast a high-quality, premium feel, making them not just functional but also stylish decorative pieces for any fan’s home.
The individual figures are sized perfectly for everyday use and display. The Slime-shaped container measures approximately H50mm x W50mm x D50mm, while the larger King Slime-shaped container is approximately H65mm x W60mm x D60mm.
For collectors seeking an even rarer variant, an “Official Shop Limited Edition Set” featuring the elusive Metal Slime & Metal King Slime, is also available.
Both the standard “Smile Slime Salt & Pepper Slime & King Slime” set and the “Official Shop Limited Edition Smile Slime Salt & Pepper Metal Slime & Metal King Slime” set are priced at 3,520 yen (tax included).
Dragon Quest enthusiasts eager to bring a piece of their favorite fantasy world into their culinary adventures can now order the set of their choosing, as pre-orders for the re-release have opened.
Orders can be placed directly through the Square Enix official store, with shipping due to commence from August 23rd, 2025.
