From cakes to rice rolls, these delicious looking food items inspired by popular mascot cat Nyaran are almost too cute to eat!

In a special collaboration, the shops located in the food section on the B1 floor of the Daimaru Umeda Department Store in Osaka will be offering delightful treats modeled after Nyaran, the lovable mascot cat of the Japanese travel magazine and website Jalan. And we have to say, the selection is quite impressive!
