Remember Touken Ranbu, that game where you turn historical Japanese swords into hot men? Well, one shop is now turning those men into delectable cakes!
Just to recap, Touken Ranbu (刀剣乱舞) is a free-to-play collectible card browser video game in which players travel to the past and call on legendary swords to help defeat the forces of evil—which are then transformed into handsome young men. Originally released this past January, the game has proven to be quite the hit with the ladies in particular, for reasons entirely unfathomable to us…
Enter Sweets Workshop Priroll, a Tokyo-based cake shop which specializes in custom-made cakes with individually selected prints and personalized messages. Furthermore, the shop offers a steady line of cakes in collaboration with popular video games and anime of the day. While Priroll has offered roll cakes decorated with prints of Touken Ranbu characters on multiple occasions in the past, this is the first time that they’re offering a regular round cake variety–just in time for Japan’s season of Christmas cakes, too!
▼ Here’s an ad announcing the release of the Touken Ranbu-themed cakes, which are each 12 centimeters (4.72 inches) in diameter and 7 centimeters (2.76 inches) tall.
