The collaboration Japanese sweet "Kirby Self-Serving Monaka" from Japanese confectionery manufacturer Tsuruya Yoshinobu Co., Ltd. and "Kirby" is celebrating its 5th anniversary since its release!
To commemorate the 5th anniversary, it was announced that a renewed version with a new anko (sweet bean paste) flavor and new confectionery flavors will be available for purchase starting Friday, November 15, 2024.
Pre-orders for the renewed version began on the official Tsuruya Yoshinobu online shop on Friday, November 8, 2024.
"Kirby Self-Serving Monaka" Celebrates 5 Years Since Its Release!
PR TIMESThe game series "Kirby," released by Nintendo Co., Ltd., has been loved all over the world since its birth in 1992.
"Kirby Self-Serving Monaka" was born from the wish that more and more people around the world will enjoy the deliciousness of Japanese sweets... through the game's rich world, and was released in 2019, celebrating its 5th anniversary in 2024.
PR TIMESKirby Self-Serving Monaka is a selg-serving monaka set where you can sandwich the anko (sweet bean paste) into the monaka wafers yourself.
The monaka wafers are decorated with three different Kirby expressions, so you can sandwich your desired amount of anko to enjoy the heartwarming and mellow deliciousness of the crispy, light monaka wafers and the flavorful "an."
PR TIMESBoth the anko and the wafers come in their own cans, so they can be stored for a long time, with an unopened shelf life of about one year, allowing you to enjoy the freshly made deliciousness anytime!
The packaging and cans are also decorated with original designs based on the theme of "Kirby x Japanese style," making it perfect for Kirby fans, as well as for souvenirs and gifts!
To commemorate the 5th anniversary of Kirby Self-Serving Monaka, it will be released starting Friday, November 15, 2024, with a new bean paste flavor added and the confectionery flavors renewed.
Celebrating the 5th Anniversary with a Delicious Renewal!
Kirby's Signature "Round Pink" Monaka Wafers
PR TIMESWhen you think of Kirby, the cheerful and cute pink is very memorable.
Previously, only the savory, toasted flavor was sold, but a pink monaka wafer, which symbolizes Kirby, has now been added.
The pink monaka wafer has a light and simple taste that deliciously enhances the flavor of the bean paste.
In addition, the cute pink monaka wafers make tea time more colorful and greatly expand the possibilities for Western-style arrangements.
It is also said that each can of wafers contains 8 toasted wafers and 4 pink wafers.
"Matcha anko" made with Uji matcha from Kyoto Prefecture has been added
PR TIMESThe "Kirby Self-Serving Monaka" currently on sale came in two types, ogura anko (red bean paste) and koshi anko (strained red bean paste), but the combination has been renewed and will be sold in a new combination of two types: the newly introduced "matcha anko" and "ogura anko."
The newly introduced "matcha anko" is made with Uji matcha from Kyoto Prefecture and has a fragrant, classic taste that gives a sense of Kyoto.
Furthermore, "matcha anko" is a rare flavor used in only a few limited-edition products at Tsuruya Yoshinobu and can be eaten by purchasing the 2-can set!
>PR TIMESThe 1-can set allows you to enjoy "ogura anko," which uses Tamba Dainagon red beans, a type of red bean that is known for being especially high-grade.
The "ogura anko" is moist, mellow, and has an authentic, rich flavor, which can still be enjoyed from the currently available product.
Enjoy "Mona-Kirby" with a Little Arrangement!
PR TIMESBy making "small additions" of commercially available ice cream, fruit, cream, etc. to the purchased "Kirby Self-Serving Monaka," you can discover new flavors.
Since "pink monaka wafers" and "matcha anko" have been newly added, the variations for arrangements have expanded!
Just like Kirby, who inhales anything, try making your own original "Mona-Kirby" with your favorite arrangements!
You can check out recommended mini-recipes on the "Kirby Self-Serving Monaka" special page!
Also, it's great that "Kirby Self-Serving Monaka" is free of the 28 specific allergens, so you can eat it with peace of mind!
PR TIMES
"Kirby Self-Serving Monaka" can be purchased at select Tsuruya Yoshinobu directly managed stores, three "KIRBY PUPUPU MARKET" stores inside Kiddy Land, and the official Tsuruya Yoshinobu online shop!
In addition, pre-orders for the renewed version began on the official Tsuruya Yoshinobu online shop from 12:00 PM on Friday, November 8, 2024.
