Harapecolab Creates Limited Edition Original Kohakutou for Tinder® 'ASTRO CHAT LOUNGE' Event. Conversation Starters Beginning with Astrology Expressed in Sparkling Kohakutou.

Melting Pot Harapecolab Co., Ltd. (Location: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture), which develops products with the theme of "Playing with Artistic Food," has created the original Tinder "Astrocha Kohakutou" to coincide with Tinder®'s limited-time event, "ASTRO CHAT LOUNGE - Conversation Starters Beginning with Astrology."

The "Astrocha Kohakutou" was distributed to visitors who downloaded the Tinder app and set up the Astrology mode at this event, which allows visitors to experience the world of Tinder's new "Astrology Mode" feature in real life. ORANGE SENSE Inc., which was in charge of planning and operating the event, selected Harapecolab as its production partner to create a novelty item that would allow visitors to experience the world of "Astrology Mode" firsthand, leading to the realization of the event-exclusive "Astrocha Kohakutou."

The event was held from June 18 (Thu) to June 22 (Mon), 2026, at OPENBASE SHIBUYA in Shibuya, Tokyo. Various contents were offered at the venue, including photo spots where conversations could be sparked by astrology readings and astrology appraisal booths, and many visitors enjoyed the world of constellations and astrology.

Expressing the World of Constellations and Encounters in the Sparkle of Kohakutou

Harapecolab's signature product, "Koubutsu Okashi," is a kohakutou cut into motifs of minerals and gemstones. It has a crisp exterior, a soft interior, and a delicate appearance that sparkles when hit by light.

For the "Astrocha Kohakutou" created this time, Harapecolab expressed the mystical image of astrology and constellations, as well as the world of astrology as a "conversation starter" proposed by Tinder, using kohakutou inspired by the four elements of Western astrology: "Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth."

The aim was to spark conversations with people met by chance, starting with talk about their star signs. To create a moment of small surprise and excitement upon picking it up. It was enjoyed by visitors as an item to add color to their event experience.
