Their incredibly adorable designs have drawn numerous cat lovers to these locations, with each cute dessert and themed cat bento almost too adorable to eat.

Among them, the most talked-about is the cat paw bento, limited to 20 servings per day.

Japan’s popular tourism mascot cat, Nyalan, has also been turned into cute plush toys and themed desserts, all available for sale at Tokyo Station. In addition to the cat paw design, many other buns shaped like different cat faces have been introduced, aiming to win over the hearts of all cat owners and leaving feline fans saying it’s simply too irresistible.

Japanese products and events are always full of fresh ideas. Travelers in Japan should definitely try these limited-edition cat bento boxes and sweets if they get the chance.
