Doraemon Confectionery Won’t Give You Nifty Tools, But Will Satisfy Your Tastebuds
Many of our grape Japan readers have seen the cute wagashi Japanese sweets series shaped like popular anime figures or mascot characters known as "Tabemasu." The series, created by Bandai Candy Co., Ltd., is popular for creating artfully designed figurines in the traditional 練り切り nerikiri style. This traditional sweet is created using a white bean paste and mochi dough and it can be easily colored, molded and carved into various shapes.
The lovable robot cat Doraemon is a familiar face in the Tabemasu brand, making numerous appearances since the series began.
But now, for Spring 2021, Doraemon is back with cute new expressions.
There are two new sweets, one with Doraemon making a silly face with his tongue sticking out, maybe about to enjoy some tasty treat at a picnic under the cherry trees, and another one with a relaxed expression with a cherry blossom on his head. You can imagine him standing under the cherry blossoms soaking up the mood.
