A variety of panda foods are on sale in Ueno, Tokyo, where baby pandas and Xiang Xiang are booming. However, there are some shops that have been developing cute panda sweets even before the birth of Shanshan!

So, this time, I picked up 6 shops that offer panda food other than Ueno from a slightly nasty direction!

1, panda cupcake

At the "Fairycake Fair" in Gransta, Tokyo Station, cupcakes " Baked ZOO " with animal motifs are on sale.


"Vanilla panda" with a smiling panda on it is finished with a thick cream of vanilla and mascarpone cheese. Each animal has a different taste, so if you pack it in a box like a zoo and make it as a souvenir, you will be happy.

2, panda ice cream

At Harajuku "Dobutsuen" , which sells animal motif ice cream, you can eat very cute panda ice cream. The taste is cookies and cream. The price is 500 yen.


I love the eyes, ears, and nose made of cookies and chocolate ...! The chocolate chips are also crunchy and quite satisfying. It's cute and hard to eat, but it melts very quickly, so it's a good idea to snap it before the panda's face collapses.

3, Panda Coffee

"Panda Coffee Shop " in Asagaya, Tokyo. It is one of the world's leading panda specialty coffee shops that panda lovers visit from overseas. Panda-related menus such as panda omelet rice, panda cocoa, and panda parfait are lined up.


Panda miscellaneous goods are also sold in the store full of pandas, and anyway, it's already pandas! If you like pandas, you should go there once.

4, KALDI's "panda dessert"

A popular dessert at KALDI Coffee Farm, "Panda Annin Tofu". An original almond tofu with an eye-catching black and white panda package.


You can chill it in the refrigerator as it is packed and eat it. Seasonal flavors may also appear.

5, panda manju

There is also a cute panda in the "Animal Manju " sold by Kashin Tachibana. Moist and chewy skin with smooth rice cake. It's sweet and delicious that you won't get tired of.


In addition, a total of 10 sets including bears, elephants, chickens, chicks, lids, koalas, otters, rabbits, and monkeys. Pigs and rabbits are milk bean paste.

6, Panda donuts

"Ikumimama Animal Donuts " are popular for their donuts with various animal motifs such as cats, pigs, and alpaca. Donuts that are particular about not only the appearance but also the raw materials such as wheat and eggs and the manufacturing method are characterized by being moist and crispy and not greasy.


Panda donuts have a white chocolate flavor, and the raised nose is also made of round donuts. The ears are chocolate. The red cheeks are cute!

● Bonus ・ Panda lunch box for educational sweets

With the educational confectionery " Let's make! Obento! " Sold by Kracie, you can make your own panda rice balls (actually sweets).


The soda-flavored "rice ball base" is molded into a panda shape, and the grape-flavored "gomasio" is used to draw the eyes, nose, and mouth. Since I make it myself, it is interesting because the facial expressions also have individual values.



How was it? I hope I can tell you that there are other cute pandas besides Ueno. If you can't go to see Xiang Xiang, why don't you try panda gourmet to heal your heart?
