Easter tsum tsums and Beauty and the Beast at the Disney Store!

Before I officially moved back home (and therefore can't keep churning out these posts on the Disney store in Japan every month (T_T) ) I of course made sure to pay a visit to my favorite store! I was so glad the Easter Tsum Tsums were released before I left, because they are super adorable!

Easter tsum tsums are selling fast!

What could be better than Disney characters dressed up as Easter bunnies?! They feature Mickey and Minnie, Goofy and Pluto, Donald and Daisy, Chip and Dale, and Winnie the Pooh. As you can see, they are selling like lightning! I'm glad that the Disney store (and even Target) carries Tsum Tsums in America, but they don't have all these special edition ones! I've definitely stocked up while I can. You can also get them in an "Easter wreath", as if that's a real thing.

Moana Makes a Splash at the Disney Store, and Celebrating 3 Years of Tsum Tsums!

In anticipation of cute Japan-ized Moana products, I've been visiting the Disney store practically every week! Unfortunately for now, Moana is limited to tsum tsums and a few other items that seem to be the same as products back in America, but I have faith if I wait a little longer I'll be rewarded with some awesome products! Meanwhile can we talk about how stinking cute little Pua tsum tsum is?! He should have gotten more screen time!

In the meantime, there's plenty of other activity going on here at the Disney store in Japan. This year commemorates 3 successful years of Tsum Tsums, which have exploded into popularity all over the world thanks to their adorable pill-shaped bodies and simplified features. Case in point, you can even buy them at Target back home in the U.S. However Japan still reigns king of Tsum Tsums, and not just because they have their own super-popular mobile game, but because they regular have special edition tsum tsums year round, forcing you to give in to their charm to empty your wallet and collect them all!

I Taste Test Three New Country Ma’am Flavors: Cream Stew, Plum Mochi, and Truffle-scented 4 Cheese

I love trying limited edition special flavors (kikan gentei) in Japan, so I jumped at the chance to try three new Country Ma'am flavors! This is a popular brand of soft, chewy cookies that are basically your only tie to chocolate chip cookies over here. The current kikan gentei flavors are plum mochi, creamy stew, and truffle-scented four cheese. I wouldn't have normally put those last two anywhere near my mouth, but hey, since it's my last few weeks in Japan I thought I'd give it a shot.
