A Sweet Tale Unfolds: Picture Book Cookie Cans Debut in Ebisu
Tokyo’s Atre Ebisu is set to host a delightful pop-up store, “Masterpiece Picture Book Cookie Can Selection by Cake.jp,” offering a charming array of cookies inspired by beloved Japanese picture books. From February 27 (Friday) to March 6 (Friday), 2026, visitors can immerse themselves in a world where classic stories meet delicious, artfully crafted treats.
This highly anticipated event, organized by the cake and sweets specialty online store Cake.jp, brings a collection that has already garnered immense popularity at locations like JR East Tokyo Station’s Gransta Tokyo and over 50 other venues nationwide. It’s a testament to the enduring appeal of these iconic characters transformed into edible art.
Iconic Characters Reimagined as “Kawaii” Delights
The pop-up features 17 unique original cookie can series, each a collaboration with popular and trending picture books that span generations. Imagine the playful antics of ‘Gaspard and Lisa,’ the insatiable hunger of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar,’ the mischievous charm of ‘Nontan,’ the spooky fun of ‘The Sleepy Baby,’ and the whimsical world of ‘Pan Dorobou,’ all captured in cookie form. These treats are not just visually appealing; they are crafted with care, emphasizing quality ingredients. A notable feature is that the cookies are made without wheat, egg, or dairy, making them accessible to a wider audience.
One of the most heartwarming aspects of these cookie cans is their dual purpose: once the delicious cookies are enjoyed, the beautifully designed tins can be repurposed as charming storage containers. This thoughtful touch enhances the gift-giving experience, leaving a lasting memory beyond the sweet indulgence. “It’s like bringing a piece of your favorite storybook home, not just to taste, but to cherish,” shared a fan, highlighting the emotional connection these products foster.
These cookie cans make perfect souvenirs or gifts, whether for celebrating a special occasion or simply brightening someone’s day. The visual storytelling on each tin, paired with the meticulously shaped cookies inside, creates a truly immersive experience for fans of all ages.
