With kawaii being Japan’s all-conquering king — converting anything and everything to the cute and cuddly — it’s perhaps not surprising to now see food getting the, erm, ‘fun’ treatment.
And, in this particular case, not only does it add a certain perkiness to the product, but it also perfectly explains what animal one will be eating.

But somewhat forced cynicism aside, as cute goes, they do, it has to be said, have a certain something.

Although there again, next week’s supposed special of spotted dick could be a very different story altogether.
There's also the option of following Tokyo Times by RSS, and now even Twitter too.

Gotta love these! They are indeed ‘kawaii’, no matter how overused that word is.
Oh these are GREAT!
Wow, very cool!
Btw, it´s the first time I stop by your blog and it´s awesome! I love it.
KAWAII!

I’m loving these buns that I dun tink i’ll bear to take a bite!
Are these hot buns or cold pastries by the way?
anyone? =)
These are just too cute! Uwaaa I want one ~ どうもかわいい~^-^
They are nikuman or butaman Yimin, although either way it’s essentially the same thing.
There’s an explanation here
Domo arigato! I think… those things are almost too cute to eat. The comment about the next menu is hillarious.
It’s so cute! thanks for sharing
what a cute idea
Food always gets extra points for being cute AND tasty, IMO. =D
Nice! I want some :/
Pigs probably don’t make kawaii look-alikes when they eat Japanese children
