Kimo-kawaii! Get Spooked This Halloween With These Adorably Scary Sweets

Sponsored Links

It’s that time of the year when the leaves start to fall and the air starts to get chilly—Halloween is just round the corner waiting to give you some goosebumps. It may have originated in a foreign country, but Japan has welcomed the celebration into their own modern pop culture and made it an unofficial but widespread season of festivities every year.

Ghosts, mummies, zombies and the like come to haunt the country—in marzipan form. Come to Japan during the month of October, and you’ll likely see many stores serving up Halloween-themed confectioneries. Even the supernatural can become kawaii as long as they’re on this land.


Mister Donut

Everyone’s favorite donut chain is back with another Halloween line up this year, featuring the classic Jack-o’-Lantern in chocolate and strawberry flavors as well as a variety of seemingly screaming donuts. At merely ¥162 to ¥183, it’s a fun and affordably delicious way to get into the festive spirit.

They may be an upscale patisserie, but that doesn’t stop them from some festive fun with their sweets. Watch out for the limited edition Petit Gateau Momie (¥648), an exquisite pastry that looks an adorable round mummy. Covered in chocolate and filled with kabocha (Japanese squash), this is one mummy you’ll want to unwrap.

If you love Disney, this will be the pastry shop for you. Ginza Cozy Corner has had a longtime collaboration with Disney, but for Halloween season there’s a special twist—it’s the villain’s turn to come out and play. Just for this period, they get the spotlight and their own special cake collection. This season the Petit Gateau collection (¥2,268) features nine different Disney villain designs. You won’t be able to choose!

Order one and find out! Starting at ¥570 for a tall size, Tully’s Pumpkin Latte is a good way to get some Halloween spirit on the go.

It’s hard enough to get tired of Japan’s sheer variety of sweets, but it’s truly impossible when they find ways to come up with attractive new flavors every season. Halloween is at the heart of pop culture in October, and you’ll find yourself spoiled for choice with the adorable confectioneries available. Spice up the fall with some awfully kawaii desserts from these shops!
