Since there is Ueno Zoo, many limited-edition foods with panda motifs are on sale in Ueno. Among them, I tried to collect the ones that are suitable as souvenirs that can be obtained at JR "Eki-naka" and can be carried around to some extent.

・ Funawa / Handmade bread ball 540 yen Funawa's ecute Ueno store limited item famous for "Imo yokan" and "Anko ball". Based on the Anko ball, the panda's face is three-dimensionally expressed.



A dish where you can enjoy the contrast between the good taste and the texture of smooth agar and smooth bean paste. Because it is handmade, the quantity is limited, and it is often sold out in the evening. You can carry it around at room temperature for up to half a day, so it might be safe to buy it on the go. The shelf life is until the next day.


・ La Blanche Liquinon / Scone Box 1,080 yen
A box set of 5 scones with a moist texture made by adding plenty of fresh cream. The box is designed exclusively for the ecute Ueno store, with a panda's face on the front and a lively zoo illustration on the back and sides.



The flavors of scones are "plain", "tea", "marble chocolate", "coffee caramel", and "lemon and white chocolate". The moist texture and richness of fresh cream are irresistible! The shelf life is 2 days.


・ Dolce Felice / Panda Petit Pound (3 pieces) 750 yen
A set of 3 mini-sized pound cakes in a panda-designed box. This item is limited to the ecute Ueno store.



The lineup is "Panda Pound Cake," "Strawberry Pound Cake," and "Orange Pound Cake." A talented group that combines gorgeous and cute visuals with rich butter flavor. Also suitable for small gifts. The shelf life is about 10 days.


・ KINOKUNIYA / Mini Panda Anpan 288 yen
A set of 3 mini-sized (diameter about 7 cm) anpan with a delicious liquor flavor and moderately sweet bean paste. There is a panda branding iron on the top.


The package is not so good, but the cost is high for 3 pieces at this price. Please use it as a souvenir or for your home. The shelf life is about 2 days.


In addition, various panda sweets such as panda sable and panda dorayaki are sold at KINOKUNIYA. If you don't have much time, bulk buying is recommended here.

・ Summary
A panda motif souvenir that is fun to choose and hand over. There are many more, so why not check them out while you're out for cherry blossom viewing or spring?
