Kirby the Star" has been loved around the world since his birth in 1992, and last year, 2022, marked the 30th anniversary of his birth. Kirby's Hoshikobako of the Fountain of Dreams," a new candy that seems to sparkle in the night sky, will be released by "Tsuruya Yoshinobu".
Four years have passed since the first collaboration in the summer of 2019 with "Kirby's Manmaruru Tezukuri Monaka". This product, created by Tsuruya Yoshinobu, a Kyoto-based confectioner established in 1803, is a cute assortment of "rakugan" and "kohaku-togashi" dry confections based on the motif of Kirby's world view.
Dreamy and cute dried confections will make you squeal!
Rakugan with Wasanbon
- Kirby: Clear the stage! The round and round pink Kirby, twirling in the well-known "Clear Dance" of Kirby the Star, is made into a smooth, cute, and delicious rakugan! The cute expression on his face is the result of exquisite craftsmanship.
- Fountain of Dreams: The "Fountain of Dreams" that brings dreams to the world, as seen in the game. It is characterized by its fine texture and elegant sweetness that melts in your mouth. The "Star Rod," the source of dreams, and the overflowing water of the fountain have also been delicately reproduced.
- Water: The traditional wooden model of "Tsuruya Yoshinobu" is used to depict the ripples of the spreading water. The dream that flows from the fountain eventually becomes drops of water and mist that spread around the world...
Rakigane (falling geese)
- Hoshi: A crispy texture of two cute stars in a row. Softer than the ones with wasanbon sugar, you can enjoy the gentle taste of the stars as they melt away. It looks like a star shining in the night sky of a pop star.
Amber sugar
- Star: The faintly glimmering stars have become "amber sugar," which has been talked about in recent years as "edible jewelry. The unique texture of the sugar is created by molding each one individually in a special die and then drying it slowly. Enjoy it with Kirby and his friends in a cute arrangement!
The commitment of "Tsuruya Yoshinobu," founded in 1803
Dried confections are a type of Japanese confectionery served with green tea in the tea ceremony. In addition to rakugan and amber sugar, other types of sweets include arare, rice crackers, suhama, kompeito, and arihiragane. Everyone has probably eaten them at least once. Ochigans made with wasanbon sugar are also generally called "wasanbon.
Under the family motto of "Creating Yokimono," Tsuruya Yoshinobu has continued to incorporate modern sensibilities while preserving traditional techniques since its establishment in 1803.
For this product, three types of original wooden forms for "Kirby," "Dream Fountain," and "Star" were newly created through repeated design and prototyping! The combination of old and new designs expresses the traditional skills of "Tsuruya Yoshinobu" and the dreams and wishes of "Kirby" for the "past" and "future" eras.
The packaging is also very special! Also recommended as a gift!
The package is decorated in a slightly Japanese style with Kirby flying through the night sky on a warp star. The gold plain-weave string is accented with a rubber band. After you finish eating, you will want to keep this box with you as a small container for small things. Enjoy a wonderful tea time with the sweetness that melts gently and the cute design.

Kirby's Manmaru Tezukuri Monaka", the first collaboration between Kirby and Tsuruya Yoshinobu, which has been very popular since its release in the summer of 2019, is also on sale.
