Exciting Collaboration Between HOW’z and Tamagotchi Factory

A delightful new treat is on the horizon as the culinary cafe HOW’z, located in Harakado, Shibuya, teams up with the iconic Tamagotchi Factory to unveil the "HOW’z Tamagotchi Man". Set to launch on April 17, 2026, these special steamed buns capture the essence of beloved Tamagotchi characters, offering a blend of creativity, playfulness, and, of course, deliciousness.

HOW’z, known for its motto "CREATE by LOCAL", takes pride in utilizing local ingredients to create dishes that reflect the region's culinary identity. This partnership is rooted in the newly opened Tamagotchi Factory on the third floor of the same shopping facility, marking a sweet cross-pollination between food and fun.

Two Unique Varieties of HOW’z Tamagotchi Man

Available in two exciting flavors, the HOW’z Tamagotchi Man showcases the finest local produce and carefully crafted recipes:

1. Kuchipatchi Matcha Bun - 500 Yen (Tax Included)

This bun is an homage to the popular Tamagotchi character Kuchipatchi, featuring a rich matcha cream made from Shizuoka’s renowned Kawane tea. The sweet yet slightly bitter notes are perfectly balanced, creating an exquisite taste experience. The handmade dough is steamed to fluffy perfection, allowing the delicious matcha cream to ooze out with each bite.

Allergens: Egg, Wheat, Dairy, Soy

Character Insight: Kuchipatchi is portrayed as a food-loving Tamagotchi who enjoys exploring the outdoors, only to sneak in a nap whenever possible, adding a humorous touch to its personality.

2. Debabeam Chocolate Bun - 500 Yen (Tax Included)

This sumptuous creation is designed for those who adore sweets! The Debabeam Tamagotchi is known for its carefree spirit and a slight tendency to be spoiled, making it the perfect subject for a luscious chocolate cream bun. Infused with Valrhona's delectable “Carivo” chocolate, renowned for its 66% cocoa content, this treat offers a glorious combination of deep cocoa flavor with a mellow sweetness.

Packed in the same fluffy dough, the experience of biting into this bun is akin to receiving a warm hug from chocolate—truly a reward for anyone with a sweet tooth!

Allergens: Egg, Wheat, Dairy, Soy

Character Insight: The Debabeam is illustrated as an oversized baby Tamagotchi that delights in food and play, reflecting a light-hearted attitude toward life.
