Fortune cookies can be sort of anti-climactic, can’t they? Most of the time, that little slip of paper just reminds you of some pearl of wisdom to help you make yourself a better person, instead of giving you the inside information on the future that you really wanted so that you could succeed in life without all that bothersome self-improvement stuff.
On the other hand, it’s hard to imagine anyone being disappointed if they cracked open their snack to find an adorably chubby cat figurine.
Felissimo, provider of all sorts of cat-based novelty goods, is back again with Dagashi Nyanko Kakurenbo, or Hide-and-Seek Kittie Candies.
The snack set comes with a pack of cylindrical karinto sweets, and two individually wrapped crispy senbei rice crackers. While most senbei are flat disks, though, these ones are triangle-shaped.
That’s because there’s a surprise waiting inside: a cute, hand-crafted cat figurine!
While their markings are the same, the two senbei contain slightly different felines.
For other pairs, the difference between their poses is even more pronounced.
▼ Nap time!
As with many of Felissimo’s products, the company will ship a different design each month, so you’ll need to place a new order periodically to get the whole set. The company is selling the Hide-and-Seek Kittie Candies for 2,372 yen (US$20) per bundle through its website here.
