Everyone Will Surely Be Smile! Adorable and Delicious! Tokyo Souvenirs Inspired by “Hachiko”

You will definitely see the statue of a dog when you go to Shibuya Station. That dog’s name is “Hachiko” who is loved by the people of Japan. The statue is based on the story of a loyal dog who continued to wait at Shibuya Station for his owner, even after his owner had died.

Therefore, I’ll introduce Tokyo souvenirs featuring the cute Hachiko on the packaging. This is sold by YOKU MOKU which is a famous confectionery brand.

What’s “YOKU MOKU”?

YOKU MOKU is a famous Western-style confectionery brand in Japan. It provides a variety of sweets such as cookies and langue de chat. Among them, their most iconic treat is the “Cigare” which is a delicately rolled butter cookie. It’s made with rich, aromatic butter, it has a crisp, light texture and melts gently in your mouth.

There are stores across Japan, also has a cafe in Minami-Aoyama, Tokyo, where you can fully experience the brand’s world. It’s known for its elegant packaging and refined flavors, so YOKU MOKU is a great choice for high-quality gifts and souvenirs.

Cigare with cute Hachiko package

The collaboration between the popular “Cigare” and “Hachiko” was released in select stores in August 2023 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Hachiko’s birth. The really cute packaging made people feel like they just had to take it home, and it quickly gained attention on social media.

Also, the response was overwhelming, some stores sold out within just four days, while others had to impose purchase limits due to high demand!

By the overwhelming response, this product is now available year-round. You can also buy online.

One of its biggest charms is the lovely packaging. It’s illustrated with Hachiko going to famous landmarks in Shibuya, and even the individually wrapped cookies inside are decorated with Hachiko designs, it shows good attention to detail.

It will make you smile without thinking! I recommend buying one for yourself along with gifts. The recipient will definitely be glad. Moreover, it’s a nice idea to decorate it in your room after finishing eating. You will surely feel calm every time you see it.
