PAPABUBBLE Launches Fun and Surreal Hinamatsuri Candy Collection

Celebrate Hinamatsuri with Surreal Candy Creations from PAPABUBBLE

As the Japanese holiday of Hinamatsuri approaches on March 3rd, the beloved Craft Candy Theater, PAPABUBBLE, is preparing to delight candy lovers with its latest offerings. Starting February 5, 2026, you can find a whimsical series of candies inspired by the traditional Hinamatsuri dolls—the Odairi-sama (the male doll) and the Hina-sama (the female doll)—as well as colorful Baburettsu to celebrate the season.

Unique and Playful Designs

This year, PAPABUBBLE introduces a refreshing take on classic Hinamatsuri motifs, bringing a fun and slightly surreal twist to their candy designs. The highlight of this collection is the unique expressions of the Odairi-sama and Hina-sama dolls, which add a distinctive character to the candies. Each piece is designed with attention to detail; for instance, the lanterns are crafted to reflect light when displayed in bright settings, mimicking the traditional beauty of the festival. Additionally, the flower blossoms are represented in two varieties—white and pink—encapsulated within a single piece, enhancing the visuals and celebratory ambiance.

Flavorful Delights

The candy flavors are thoughtfully chosen to appeal to a wide range of tastes, particularly those favored by women. Among the standout flavors is the new 'Apple Tea Soda', a refreshing combination of tea, soda, and a hint of apple, striking a balance between sweetness and a refreshing taste that’s enjoyable for both adults and children. Overall, customers can expect a host of flavors that are rich in sweetness, encouraging them to savor each bite and appreciate the varied textures and tastes.

In addition to the stunning candies, there is also a stick candy set featuring the Odairi-sama and Hina-sama. This makes for a charming addition to any photo session or a creative element to enhance the Hinamatsuri celebration.

Experience the Joy of Spring with Exclusive Baburettsu

Another highlight of the collection is the limited-edition Baburettsu, capturing the soft spring colors loved by everyone. This year's Baburettsu showcases designs inspired by traditional Hinamatsuri elements such as plum blossoms, dango (sweet rice dumplings), and Hishi-mochi (diamond-shaped rice cakes). The pastel colors provide a delicate aesthetic that is both accessible and appealing, making them ideal for adult consumers looking for sophisticated candy options.

Not only do these charming motifs evoke the festive spirit, but they also double as a mini Hinamatsuri decoration for your table or shelf. Their aesthetic appeal makes them perfect as photogenic accessories for social media, or as thoughtful seasonal gifts.
