Celebrating One Year with Guruguru Shakashaka

Guruguru Shakashaka, a salt specialty store located in Tokyo Solamachi, is thrilled to announce a special event in honor of its first anniversary. From July 11 to July 13, 2025, the shop will be gifting all customers a unique item known as "Shio no Shiori" (Salt Bookmark) as a token of appreciation. This exclusive bookmark features the beloved character duo, Guruguru and Shakashaka, beautifully illustrated by the talented Yusuke Mashiba.

To commemorate this occasion, a new four-panel comic strip showcasing the amusing escapades of Guruguru and Shakashaka has been created. The comic is playful and engaging, providing fans with a delightful snapshot of their adventures. Excitingly, there are two versions of the comic: one featuring Guruguru and another featuring Shakashaka, ensuring that fans can choose their favorite.

During the anniversary event, Guruguru Shakashaka will also highlight its range of products, including unique salt-making experiences tailored just for you, as well as items from the popular "Shio Matoppe" series. Customers who make a purchase will receive one of the special bookmarks. It’s worth noting that bookmarks will be distributed randomly, but patrons can request their preferred design from the staff.
