With the temperature beginning to drop, MINISTOP are releasing two new sweet steamed buns. The purin flavoured buns were released on October 19 while the chocolate purin buns will be released on November 9.
MINISTOP’s sweet steamed buns are a popular favourite. The purin flavoured buns were released last year and blew up on social media. They are returning again this year in limited quantities. Both the purin and chocolate purin buns are on the small side making them perfect as a snack or to fill a hole. Their designs are eye-catching too.
Marugoto Purin Bun
This bun is stuffed with an entire purin which is a whole dessert in itself. It’s topped with caramel sauce and a sprinkling of cocoa powder to make the bun itself look like a purin too.
Marugoto Chocolate Purin Bun
This is a chocolate version of the purin bun. It’s stuffed with a rich and velvety chocolate purin. The outside is topped with chocolate to make it look like another chocolate purin.
MINISTOP’s sweet steamed buns are a hit every year. Which one do you want to try the most?

Halloween is almost here, which means it time to start getting in the spooky mood. The new Halloween Minion Banana Chocolate Tarts just dropped pre-sales at Ministop branches across Japan on October 2, with general sales beginning on October 17 at AEON Retail.
These tarts are the perfect treat for the Halloween season, featuring designs of Minions from the popular Despicable Me film franchise together with other Halloween motifs like pumpkins and monsters. They are yellow like the Minions and banana flavoured – Minions’ favourite flavour.
The tarts are crunchy and are covered with a white chocolate coating. Inside is a banana flavoured mousse layered like a cheesecake as well as chocolate mousse. The banana and chocolate make for a deliciously rich combination.
Part of the fun of buying these tarts is choosing which one to go for. There are 6 designs to choose from that include Bob, Jerry and Stuart. The packaging too has Minion decorations with Halloween colours.
A special campaign is also being held from October 2. Three lucky people have the chance to win the above Minions Christmas cake by posting their photos of their tarts with the hashtag #トリックオアミニオンタルト on Twitter and Instagram.

Japan’s convenience store MINISTOP are releasing a deliciously sweet chuukaman (Chinese steamed bun) called Marugoto Purin Man. The sweet steamed buns will begin sales at MINISTOP stores up and down the country from December 1st, and by December 8th they expect every MINISTOP in Japan to be selling them. That’s 2245 stores as of October 2017!
The Marugoto Purin Man was first released back in January this year where it became a huge hit and appeared all over social media in Japan. Demand for the product to go on shelves again has been heard with the release of an even better product.
The appearance is made to look just like a purin, mixed with cocoa powder and caramel sauce. The sweet purin and caramel are slowly steamed, making a perfect partner for the warm outsider layer. The bitterness of the caramel has also been eliminated, so both kids and adults can enjoy the flavour.
Its small size makes it a perfect snack and, since it’s a hot dessert, the best thing for the cold winter. Warm yourself up with a Marugoto Purin Man!

Kobe is filled with famous sightseeing spots like the nostalgic Ijinkan neighborhood and port. The city is packed with fashionable shops and restaurants and is highly regarded for its selection of tasty sweets!
The port city, with over 150 years of history, has fostered a unique and diverse culinary culture.
Recently, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu began starring in a series of promotional videos for the Gastropolis Kobe project. The artist traveled to the city to partake in plenty of delicious treats, and MOSHI MOSHI NIPPON went along for the ride! Here are some of the singer’s favorite spots around town.
Kobe, known as a city where East meets West, is lined with sweets shops that are unique to the area.
The tea salon TOOTH TOOTH Dekoboko Sabo opened in 2019 in the Kobe City Museum and offers a menu that mixes Western food and sweets with tea and ingredients from traditional Japanese cuisine. Kyary ordered the Dekoboko Sabo Afternoon Tea Set, a collection of western sweets blended with the essence of traditional Japanese flavors. Guests are invited to enjoy their tea and sweets in a one-of-a-kind space filled with Meiji period flare and retro Western furniture. Those interested will need to make a reservation, so be sure to remember the next time you’re in Kobe.
TOOTH TOOTH Decoboco Sabo
Address: 24 Kyomachi, Chuo Ward, Kobe (Inside the Kobe City Museum)
Hours: 9:30-17:30 (Last Order at 16:30)
Closed Mondays
Official Site: https://toothtooth.com/restaurant/decoboco-sabo
The next stop was Kobe Nankin-machi, one of the three major Chinatowns in Japan. Kobe MILK is known nationwide for its Apricot Pudding, which is made with local ingredients. The raw apricot pudding is mixed with milk brought from the foot of Mt. Rokko and other ingredients from Hyogo Prefecture. Of course, Kyary ordered some, and was amazed by its fluffy texture. You can only enjoy it in Kobe–also, the shop sells other puddings mixed with seasonal fruits, so don’t miss those either!
Kobe MILK
Address: Shin-Motomachi Building 1F (1 Motomachi-dori, Chuo-ku, Kobe)
Hours: Weekdays 9:30-19:00 / Weekends 9:30-19:30
Official Site: https://kobe-milk.com
For Kyary’s final stop, the singer visited the Moore House, a cafe located in a building with over 100 years of history. Guests are surrounded by greenery, and the Western-style building is incredibly elegant. The Strawberry Mille-feuille Kyary ordered was created by an expert patissier and based on the strawberry mille-feuille recipe from the legendary French restaurant Maxim’s de Paris in Ginza. A generous amount of custard cream complements the crispy pie crust and enhances the sweetness of the fresh strawberries. We’d recommend it with a glass of champagne–if you’re of age.
Kitano Ijin-kan Moore House
Address: 2-9-3 Kitanocho, Chuo-ku, Kobe
Hours: 11:00-17:00
Closed Tuesdays
Official Site: https://www.kitanomoore.com/cafe/
The streets of Kobe are packed with sweets that you can only enjoy if you visit. Why not come experience these incredible spots like Kyary did?
