Delightful Collaboration: PAPABUBBLE and Neko Neko

In a fresh return of last year's hit collaboration, Craft Candy Theater, PAPABUBBLE has teamed up again with Neko Neko to release a delightful series of cat-themed candies just in time for National Cat Day on February 22. Starting from January 22, these whimsical treats will be available nationwide and via the PAPABUBBLE official website.

Unique Cat Mix Candy

One of the standout offerings is the 'Cat Mix,' a selection of assorted candies inspired by the beloved feline companions found in homes and streets. Each candy boasts a unique color, expression, and pattern, meticulously crafted to embody the personalities of different cat breeds.

Capturing the essence of a snoozing calico cat—eyes closed and stylish crooked whiskers—the 'Mikenyan' variant portrays a gentle demeanor, while the striking 'Shiro' candy is defined by its mysterious odd-eyed look and long whiskers. The tabby, featuring a subtle beige hue with tiger stripes, and the 'Hachiware,' known for its somewhat pouting expression, contribute to a captivating assortment. Completing the mix is 'Kuro', with slender eyes and a messy fur coat that adds a playful touch.

The artistic process behind the making of these candies was intricate. Every detail from eye color and shape to whisker style was taken into account, and specific attention was given to replicating the muted beige of the tabby's fur. The complexity of the cat patterns demanded significant precision, ensuring that no two candies were alike.

Purr-fect Gifts for Cat Lovers

For those looking for adorable gifts, there’s also a new lollipop shaped like a cat paw. This candy provides not only an irresistible design but also a flavor profile that promotes a relaxed mindset, featuring a calming tea-based essence. The lollipop embodies the rounded, three-dimensional qualities of a cat's paw, designed to provide a delightful experience with a milky coffee flavor that evokes a moment of relaxation amidst busy days.

Larger-than-Life Lucky Cat Candy

In addition to these tasty treats, PAPABUBBLE showcases an impressive 1kg lucky cat candy. Radiating with a glass-like finish, this candy art piece is not just a treat but also serves as a striking decorative item. Specially designed to symbolize wealth and good fortune, this vibrant yellow candy is infused with pineapple and honey flavors, marrying aesthetics with taste. The raised left paw design signifies inviting prosperity and beneficial relationships—a perfect gift for anyone who loves cat motifs or is interested in Japanese culture.

The Return of Collaborative Delights

Following last year’s success, the collaboration once again engages the community by featuring a unique 'Kitty Mix'. The concept behind the project invites cat owners to submit photos of their pets through social media, which PAPABUBBLE artisans use to turn those kitties into candy. The result is a limited-edition mix of delectable candies, each modeled with care based on the photos provided.

In addition to 'Kitty Mix', they offer a limited edition candy tin inspired by the Neko Neko bread design. The tin contains two bags of PAPABUBBLE's exclusive 'Kitty Mix Blue' and a specially designed sticker. With a durable design, the tin can be reused for storage, making it a memorable keepsake.
