Ginbis Launches New Spring Products in April 2026

The renowned Ginbis company, based in Chuo City, Tokyo, has announced a new line of products to be released in April 2026 under its beloved "Tabekko Doubutsu" (Animal Crackers) brand. As the temperatures rise in summer, Ginbis aims to offer delicious and convenient ways to stay hydrated and energized with their latest flavors: "Salt Ramune Sports Drink Flavor," "Matcha Tabekko Doubutsu," and "Mini Tabekko Doubutsu Butter Flavor."

New Product Highlights

Salt Ramune Sports Drink Flavor

This new addition to the Tabekko Doubutsu lineup is specifically designed to help consumers replenish their electrolytes during the hot summer months. Packed with 89% glucose content, this refreshing sports drink-flavored candy is infused with salt to enhance flavor and efficacy, helping to restore energy. Furthermore, it contains citric acid, known for its fatigue-reducing properties, calcium for health support, and green tea polyphenols for dental benefits. The fun packaging features a playful design of animals enjoying various sports.

Available in several formats—80g large bags (8g×10 packets), 38g resealable packets, and convenient 15g tetra bags—this product is perfect for various daily activities and summer outings, making hydration both fun and efficient.

Matcha Tabekko Doubutsu

Highlighting the essence of spring, the Matcha Tabekko Doubutsu utilizes carefully selected "Uji Matcha" refined using a traditional stone-milling process. Ginbis employs a unique infusion technique to ensure that the rich aroma and subtle flavors of matcha permeate throughout the biscuit. This delightful snack, containing no eggs and enriched with calcium, is perfect for all ages. Its sophisticated yet not overly sweet taste pairs beautifully with coffee or traditional Japanese tea, making it an ideal companion for breaks or luxurious tea times.

Scheduled to hit shelves on April 6, 2026, this special edition matcha biscuit will be available for a limited time.

Mini Tabekko Doubutsu Butter Flavor

Introducing a bite-sized version of the beloved Butter flavored Tabekko Doubutsu, these mini biscuits promise to deliver the same rich buttery taste in a more convenient format. Each small piece is packed with the aromatic flavor of butter and is ideal for on-the-go snacking, whether at work, during outings, or leisure activities. This practical size caters to modern lifestyles, appealing to both children and adults alike.

The Mini Butter Flavor will be released on April 20, 2026, also offering limited-time availability.
