In much of the world, people sign their names when they need to make things official. In Japan, people carry stamps with their name called hanko. These can come in all kinds of neat designs, and now, Eric Carle’s beloved children’s book ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ has inspired some new stamps via the MONOIY website. These illustrated stamps are perfect for celebrating huge milestones like a child’s graduation or the start of a new school year. Wouldn’t you love to have one of these back in your school days?
Hanko (in picture book packaging): ¥5,280 (Tax Included)
MONOIY, a company well-known for its detailed and numerous types of hanko, has added the adorable caterpillar character to both the sides of the stamp and to the stamp itself. These stamps show the story of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar,’ and the character’s journey to become a butterfly. There are five different stamp designs available and customers can choose the characters and typeface.Hanko Case: ¥2,780 (Tax Included)
The boldly-colored case will keep the stamp safe and will add some joy and fun to any child’s backpack! Of course, it’s customary to have your name on a hanko seal, but for children why not try adding phrases like ‘OK’ or ‘Good job?’Information

A cafe themed on Eric Carle’s internationally beloved children’s picture book The Very Hungry Caterpillar Cafe is set to open at Sunday Branch in Kichijoji PARCO in Tokyo on April 1, 2020 where it’s set to run for an entire year, ending on March 31, 2021. Today, we finally get a look at the cafe's menu line-up. The picture book has seen its fair share of themed cafes, with the first having taken place in Ginza back in 2018, which was so popular that customers had to book a month in advance to dine there. The cafe was always fully booked. The franchise also collaborated with multiple branches of J.S. Pancakes from October 2018 to January 2019, and again at Cafe Cucina in Shibuya from March to April last year. The concept for the new cafe opening in Tokyo's Kichijouji district is "Fruit Parlour." Look forward to munching your way through an assortment of fruit-filled sandwiches, pudding à la mode, and moreーall of which are packed full of The Very Hungry Caterpillar's favourite fruits.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar's Fruit Curry (*Price TBA)
Very Hungry Plate (*Price TBA)
Meals on the menu are inspired by the fruits the caterpillar ate each dayーwhich have been recreated using rice! The fruit curry is made with lots of apple, mango, and tomato. It's a pork curry that has a fruity flavour and a subtle sweetness. If you don't like spicy curries, then this dish is the one for you.The Very Hungry Caterpillar's Kid's Plate (w/Drink) (*Price TBA)
The menu is also packed with food for kids, like this kid's plate which comes with a chicken and broccoli tomato pasta, mini pancakes, and a side of fruit. There's also baby food, like a thin rice porridge made with soft rice and vegetables.The Very Hungry Caterpillar's Fruit Sandwich (*Price TBA)
The Very Hungry Caterpillar's Cheesecake (*Price TBA)
Of course, this tasty menu wouldn't be complete without a long list of drinks and desserts. There's the adorable fruit sandwich which recreates the caterpillar's body, and a New York-style cheesecake topped with artistic cookies made with vegetables and spicesーand all with natural colourings. This is just a small teaser of what's to come at The Very Hungry Caterpillar Cafe in Kichijouji; they have promised there will be even more.

The cafe decorations will make for Instagram-worthy posts, the caterpillar himself will be ready to greet customers at tables in the form of plush toys. It will be like stepping into the world of the picture book and will absolutely be enjoyed by kids and adults alike. Sunday Brunch has teamed up with The Very Hungry Caterpillar before, as well as Shaun the Sheep, to open limited-time cafes that were hugely successful. Now the caterpillar is heading to Kichijoji.

The Leo Lionni cafe located at Sunday Brunch, MARRONNIER GATE GINZA 1 is remaining open for a longer period due to popular demand. The limited-time cafe will now be open until September 29. This cafe is themed around the world of Leo Lionni; a famous children's picture book author whose illustrated stories include Swimmy and Frederick. Some of his works have even featured in school textbooks. After much anticipation, the cafe has released a brand new menu.
The renewed menu includes three new items which are based on Frederick; the story which has been praised as Lionni's best and most popular by both children and adults.

Frederick's Sunny Soup and Rice: ￥1,480This is a corn, pumpkin and minced chicken dish served with a cold soup and brown rice. This depicts the image of Frederick collecting the sun as he does in the story. The rice is served hot. "I know it" Cheesecake: ￥1,250 (price with drink set)This is a baked cheesecake made using rhubarb and summer berries sourced from Hotaru Noen Tatsuno Farm, Nagano. This delicious cheesecake depicts the scene right at the end of the story where the mice praise Frederick saying: "but Frederick! You are a poet," to which Frederick replies: "I know it". Frederick Cheese Tea: ￥900 This is a pineapple iced tea with cream cheese and a Frederick biscuit perched on the top. The pineapple flavour is sweet yet slightly sour. This is bound to leave you feeling refreshed, making it the perfect summer drink.

Looking for a fun day out with kids in Japan? LEGOLAND Japan is the perfect family day outing destination. At 1pm on July 1, the park celebrated the grand opening of the brand new area LEGO NINJAGO World. This is the first time this park has ever been expanded since opening in April 2017. The opening ceremony featured special guests, including pop singer and actress Miki Shoji and approximately 70 students from Nagoya Shiritsu Inaei Elementary School. Miki Shoji, who also enjoys a trip to LEGOLAND from time to time, made the following comment at the ceremony: "Whether you are a child or adult, the new LEGO NINJAGO World has many attractions such as the Flying NINJAGO that everyone can enjoy. This is the perfect place to have fun with your family this summer!"
There were many other special events held on the day of the grand opening, such as a countdown. At one point, Miki Shoji and the children even took part in a shuriken-throwing event with seven NINJAGO characters. What a spectacular day it was! After the ceremony had finished, some of the students who were selected as representatives of their school were given the opportunity to be the first to ride the Flying NINJAGO. LEGO NINJAGO World is the eighth area of LEGOLAND Japan and is a popular area in all Legolands across the world. From the moment the children step into the NINJAGO area, they will be immersed in an entirely new world. From the surroundings to the attractions and Ninja activities, they will learn a variety of essential ninja skills. Whether you are a child or an adult, LEGOLAND Japan invites you to enjoy a ninja experience. ♪ Information
