Discover the Taste of Fall with the Yellow Bear Cake
Starting from October 8, 2025, the BUNMEIDO Congali store in Isetan Shinjuku is launching a delightful seasonal treat, the
Yellow Bear Cake filled with Anno Sweet Potato. This limited edition cake will be available until November 18, 2025, every day starting at 3 PM.
A Flavorful Experience
The Yellow Bear Cake is crafted using high-quality Anno Sweet Potatoes from Tanegashima, Kagoshima Prefecture. This cake is unique due to its rich filling that bursts with the sweet aroma of Anno Sweet Potatoes. Upon the first bite, expect a velvety filling paired with a slightly chewy dough, offering a beautiful combination of flavors and textures. The sweet yet refined taste of Anno Sweet Potatoes is beautifully showcased in this delightful dessert.
The exterior of the cake is made with a special blend of rice flour and tapioca flour, which gives the bear a soft, chewy texture. The pastel yellow hue represents the gentle sweetness of the Anno Sweet Potato filling, enhancing the overall presentation of this charming treat.
As you enjoy the Yellow Bear Cake, take a moment to relax and savor your afternoon snack. This delectable dessert is perfect for a cozy break.
More Seasonal Delights
In addition to the Yellow Bear Cake, BUNMEIDO features a variety of seasonal variations throughout the year. Beyond the year-round red bean paste bear cakes, the store also offers:
- - Spring: Pink Cherry Blossom Bear Cake
- - Summer: White Pineapple Bear Cake
- - Winter: Black Kinako and Black Syrup Bear Cake
Each seasonal treat brings its own unique flavor, with the Yellow Bear Cake being the delightful addition for Fall 2025.
The Bear Cake Legacy
The beloved Bear Cake is inspired by the long-running commercial series
BUNMEIDO's Mame Theatre, which has aired since 1962. The Bear Cake is reminiscent of the adorable bear character appearing in the ads, brought to life as a delightful cake figure. Inside lies a smooth, sweet red bean filling, making each cake not only an iconic treat but also a nostalgic experience.
The charming face of the bear, with its round eyes and cute ears, adds to its appeal, making it a nostalgic favorite for many. Since its creation, it has become synonymous with BUNMEIDO. Furthermore, the popular phrase “Kasutera ichiban, denwa wa niban, sanji no oyatsu wa BUNMEIDO” reminds customers that these cakes are available every day from 3 PM.
This Autumn, we recommend trying both the new Yellow Bear Cake filled with Anno Sweet Potato and the traditional red bean paste bear cake for a delightful comparison of flavors.
