Embrace the Essence of Japanese Summer with PAPABUBBLE
As the summer season arrives, the spirit of giving in Japan comes to life, particularly during the Obon festival—a time to honor and welcome the spirits of ancestors. This year's festivities are about to get sweeter, thanks to PAPABUBBLE, renowned for its artisanal candy-making. Starting July 17, the company is launching its Japan series, which includes two delightful summer-themed candies—perfect gifts for those traveling home or celebrating during this special time.
Introducing the Obon Mix: A Flavorful Tribute
The first of the new offerings is the
Obon Mix, a seasonal delight inspired by the traditional summer festival. This limited-edition mix showcases a variety of five designs that reflect the heart of the Obon celebration—think festive festivals, traditional Bon Odori dance, and vibrant summer motifs. Each candy not only appeals visually but is also a pleasure to taste.
Crafted to evoke nostalgic summer memories, the Obon Mix features flavors that are easy on the palate and suitable for all age groups, from children to seniors. The candies are individually wrapped and can be beautifully presented in a
Kiri box, making them a thoughtful gift for family reunions or as small tokens during visits. Priced at
740 yen, the Obon Mix is a casual yet polished option that’s ideal for anyone looking for summer gifts that embody a sense of thoughtfulness and tradition.
Saluting Tradition with Spirit Horse Candies
PAPABUBBLE also pays homage to the beloved tradition of the
Shoryōuma, a custom that welcomes ancestral spirits back home during Obon. These remarkably designed candies represent the spirit horse that is said to guide the ancestors and are crafted artfully to capture their essence. The candies are designed in clear, bright colors, with various fruity flavors closely linked to their appearances—helping to transmit Japanese cultural heritage visually and taste-wise.
Offered in a
Spirit Horse Candy set priced at
3,000 yen, the candy includes representations like cucumbers (melon flavor) and eggplants (grape flavor). These make wonderful offerings for altars, perfect for families remembering their loved ones and sharing a taste of Japanese culture with overseas guests. The candies serve not only as festive delicacies but also as a means to foster connections between generations while indulging in Japan’s sweet traditions.
About PAPABUBBLE
PAPABUBBLE isn't just an ordinary candy store; it's what we like to call a “Craft Candy Theater.” Founded in 2003 in Barcelona, the company has elevated the experience of candy-making into a lively performance, showcasing the craftsmanship that goes into each piece of confectionery. Visitors can watch artisans as they create these delightful treats from scratch—kneading and cutting with precision—transforming simple ingredients into imaginative centric candies. With each bite, customers are taken on a culinary journey through texture and flavor, sparking joy reminiscent of childhood excitement.
PAPABUBBLE invites everyone to enjoy this unique experience where they can see, choose, and savor their candies, ensuring that every visit is filled with delight and wonder.
