Kumasan No Attaka Shiruko (Mr. Bear’s Warm Red Bean Soup) is a cute, bear-shaped version of one of Japan’s traditional sweet soups. Known as oshiruko, it is a popular red bean soup made with azuki beans, usually served in a bowl with mochi.
Kumasan No Attaka Shiruko is an oshiruko kit consisting of azuki beans stuffed into a bear-shaped mold made out of mochi. When placed in hot water, the bear melts, turning into a hot bowl of delicious red bean soup.
They’re supposedly meant to look as though the bears are taking a hot bath in your bowl.
But Japanese Twitter user @nemu90kWw discovered that this bear oshiruko kit isn’t as adorable as people have made it out to be.

No doubt it was cute at first, but when the hot water was poured in, the bear melted into a sad, unsettling blob of soggy mochi.

@nemu90kWw’s disappointment spread to other Twitter users, who also lamented the unfortunate outcome of the bear.
There really isn’t a way around this final result (unless you eat it as is), but with all things said, this curious oshiruko kit is definitely a conversation starter.
