From Wednesday, July 1, 2026, to Monday, August 3, the 'Summer! The Sea! Mochinyan Summer Festival' will be held at the 2nd-floor event space of Seibu Shibuya Store's Building A, where new sweets 'Mochibero' and 'Mochisurf'—co-developed by the character Mochinyan and SUN Shonan Gift from Shonan-Kugenuma—will make their debut.
These highly anticipated products were created with the goal of becoming the go-to souvenir that visitors to Shonan will remember as 'the one to get from Fujisawa.'

◼️ A New Local Sweet Packed with Shonan's Essence Mochinyan, deeply connected to Fujisawa, has teamed up with a local company to challenge the creation of a new confectionery that embodies the spirit of Shonan.
The result is 'Mochisurf,' offering the rich, savory depth of Edam cheese, and 'Mochibero,' combining Edam cheese with strawberry and raspberry.
Their unique shape, reminiscent of surfboards and cat tongues, inspired their names. Beyond their adorable appearance, they were developed with the goal of creating a flavor so delicious you'll want to eat them again and again.
◼️ Luxurious Flavor Featuring Premium Edam Cheese
The standout feature is the generous use of Edam cheese, delivering a rich, savory flavor.
The moment it hits your tongue, the deep umami and aroma of cheese unfold, perfectly balanced with a light, refreshing aftertaste.
Its refined taste, not overly reliant on sweetness, makes it perfect not only as a snack for young children but also as an elegant accompaniment to adult tea time.
Moreover, it pairs exceptionally well with alcohol—especially red wine—enhancing the cheese's flavor and creating a luxurious experience that makes you instinctively reach for another piece.
◼️ A Serious Sweet That’s More Than Just 'Cute'
When it comes to snacks themed around a character like Mochinyan, attention often focuses on their cute appearance.
However, 'Mochibero' and 'Mochisurf' are thoroughly committed to taste.
They successfully balance approachability for all ages with the satisfying quality of a premium baked good.
Born as a new local sweet that combines Shonan's playful spirit with refined craftsmanship.
