In an exciting collaboration, Notori, a Tokyo-based company renowned for its exceptional dairy products, is launching a limited-edition series featuring the beloved Moomin characters. Starting in early July 2025, fans can enjoy the
Creamy Cheddar Treats and
Cheese Smoke packaged in unique designs celebrating the 80th anniversary of the first Moomin novel.
Development Background
Notori has experienced great success with its refrigerated cheese products—
Creamy Cheddar Treats and
Cheese Smoke. The smooth texture of these treats has gained popularity primarily among women in their 40s and older. The decision to collaborate with the Moomin franchise stems from a desire to expand this appeal and to commemorate the significant milestone of the Moomin series. With the chilled cheese market being heavily occupied by this demographic, Notori aims to introduce a broader audience to their offerings through this captivating partnership.

Insights from Product Developers
When asked about their design process, the developers expressed, “We aimed to express the enchanting world of Moomin within the constraints of our packaging. It was a challenge to incorporate the characters while maintaining the existing product image. We integrated not just the characters but elements of the scenery to fully capture the Moomin experience.”
The developers also emphasized their anticipation for the collaboration's reception, stating, “Thanks to increased consumer interest, our sales have continued to grow. The price point is accessible, so we encourage everyone to try collecting the entire lineup. Enjoy them not just as snacks but as delightful treats at any time.”
