Ueno is bustling with the opening of the giant panda baby Xiang Xiang. Until the end of January, you can't easily see the viewing by lottery, but cute panda motif hoods are outbreaks even in Eki-naka! Here are four recommended points from the inside.

・ Tonkatsu Maisen Pocket Sandwich Tamatoro Menchi

The branding iron for the ecute Ueno limited pocket sandwich introduced this summer has changed! The illustration that the child panda covers the parent panda is cute.


Melting eggs gently combine the taste of tightly packed meat and the rich taste of sauce. Combined with the chewy bread, it is a hearty dish. The price is 410 yen (tax included).


・ Blanche Asanoya Panda Cream Bun

A cream bun that has a three-dimensional shape of a panda's face. The dough is moist and the cream is melty and smooth. It has a rich vanilla scent but is not too sweet and has an elegant taste that even adults can enjoy.



The ears of the cocoa dough contain rich chocolate cream. I'm glad that one is delicious and elaborate twice! The eyes are thick milk chocolate, accented with texture and sweetness. The price is 378 yen (tax included).


・ Blanche Asanoya Panda Brown Sugar Anpan

Another point from Asanoya. A cute anpan with a colon-shaped shape with a panda engraved on the surface.


The dough is brioche, the surface is fragrant and the inside is fluffy. You can enjoy a rich flavor that matches the sweetness of the sweet bean paste and deep brown sugar. By all means with tea or coffee! The price is 280 yen (tax included).


・ Yoku Moku Panda Petit Cigar

Yoku Moku's classic crispy textured cigar is packed in a can with cute panda parent-child illustrations. The price is 1,080 yen for 16 bottles.


Each individual package also has an illustration of a panda (baby?). The design of the can is a congratulatory atmosphere, so it looks good as a gift for the New Year and baby gifts!



In addition to this, Ueno Station Naka is now full of panda motif items not only in the hood but also in the right and left. Even if you don't see the baby pandas, if you like pandas, you will definitely enjoy it!
