Winnie the Pooh
There may not be a Year of the Bear, but Eto Pooh is an annual tradition for Disney fans in Japan.
The life of the stressed-out main character in the live-action Winnie the Pooh film is one of leisure compared to many Japanese adults’.
And it’s all because of that one time Xi Jinping ordered some meat buns from a local restaurant in Beijing.
The adorable mini cake set is just one of nine items in the sweet limited-edition collection.
Winnie the Pooh definitely loves his honey, doesn’t he? Well, here in Japan, August 3 is apparently “Honey Day” (Hachimitsu no Hi), based on the fact that the numbers eight (hachi) and three (san, or sometimes pronounced mittsu when counting objects), sounds like honey in Japanese (hachimitsu) when combined. And in honor of the day that celebrates his favorite food, Pooh bear has teamed up with Japanese confection maker Ginza Cozy Corner to offer the sweets-loving Japanese public some honey-flavored goodness this summer. It’s the Honey Lemon Madeleine featuring adorable Winnie the Pooh packaging, and of course, we had to try some ourselves!
