On November 8, 2024, the sweet excitement of a new collaboration was unleashed! Nintendo’s beloved character, Kirby, has teamed up once again with Tsuruyayoshinobu, a historic sweet shop nestled in the heart of Kyoto, Japan. This special partnership not only marks their fifth enjoyable anniversary but also unfolds a delightful new treat for fans. Starting November 15, you'll be able to delight in the mouthwatering 'Kirby's Round Handmade Monaka.' This treat showcases a dazzling array of flavors, including a brand-new 'pink' option inspired by Kirby’s iconic look, sitting alongside the classic toasted variety that has captured hearts and taste buds alike.
The traditional Monaka has long featured only two types of red bean paste: the rich 'Ogura' and the velvety 'Koshi.' Yet, in this captivating update, Tsuruyayoshinobu introduces an extraordinary 'Matcha' filling crafted from the finest Uji matcha. This luscious matcha filling brings an aromatic depth to the confection, creating a delightful contrast that comforts and excites the palate. Imagine the joy of biting into the crispy Monaka shell, revealing a world of flavors that intertwine—the rich earthiness of matcha, paired with the sweet, gentle notes of red bean paste, creating a symphony of taste that effortlessly transports you to a traditional tea ceremony or an afternoon spent in the cherry blossoms.
Excited shoppers can look forward to two enticing options: a single can that contains eight delightful toasted Monaka and four of the charming 'pink' varieties for only 1,836 yen, or a fantastic two-can set available at 3,456 yen. This generous pricing not only makes these treats perfect for personal indulgence but also ideal for sharing with family and friends during gatherings or as thoughtful gifts. The artfully designed packaging, reminiscent of both nostalgia and modernity, is sure to command attention on store shelves. With each Monaka, customers are not merely purchasing a dessert but also experiencing a magical blend of Kirby’s whimsical world and the rich heritage of Kyoto’s confectionery traditions, making every bite a sweet escape into a delightful adventure.
