“Tabemasu,” a wagashi series using the motifs of characters, started selling the wagashi set, “Tabemasu Hoshi no Kirby” using the motifs of the main character of the “Hoshi no Kirby” series “Kirby” and the character which appears in all the series called “Waddle Dee” from the 21st of November 2017 (Tue.) at all LAWSONs throughout Japan.
“Tabemasu” is a series of character wagashi which is a contraction of “taberareru (eatable) mascot.” The series represents the characters using wagashi’s dough made of candy, sugar and mochi powder. It is a new type of wagashi series which is made in a precise manner and it portrays the cuteness of each character. So far, they have sold many character wagashis such as “Disney,” “Snoopy,” “Rilakkuma,” “Doraemon,” “ONE PIECE” and “Yokai Watch.”
This time, they created a wagashi dessert using the motifs of Kirby and Waddle Dee from the “Hoshi no Kirby” series which reached its 25th anniversary on April 2017. Both characters are made of wagashi’s dough.
The cute and round eyes of Kirby are reproduced in a precise manner. The bean jam inside the wagashi of Kirby is “peach flavor” and Waddle Dee is “caramel flavor.” You can enjoy the mild and soft texture and detailed taste.
For those of you who like the “Hoshi no Kirby” series and who want to enjoy an unusual dessert this is a “must check it out!”

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 SaboAddress: 24 Kyomachi, Chuo Ward, Kobe (Inside the Kobe City Museum)Hours: 9:30-17:30 (Last Order at 16:30) Closed MondaysOfficial 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 MILKAddress: Shin-Motomachi Building 1F (1 Motomachi-dori, Chuo-ku, Kobe)Hours: Weekdays 9:30-19:00 / Weekends 9:30-19:30Official 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 HouseAddress: 2-9-3 Kitanocho, Chuo-ku, KobeHours: 11:00-17:00Closed TuesdaysOfficial Site: https://www.kitanomoore.com/cafe/ The streets of Kobe are packed with sweets that you can only enjoy if you visit.
