Craft Candy Theater 'PAPABUBBLE' is launching a special collaboration with the children's book series 'Wakattasan no Okashi' to commemorate the 1st anniversary of Lumine Yurakucho's Lumine Street.

Lumine Yurakucho's Lumine Street will celebrate its 1st anniversary on Thursday, June 25, 2026. To mark this milestone, a special collaboration has been realized with the long-running children's literary series 'Wakattasan Series,' which has sold over 4.5 million copies cumulatively since its debut 39 years ago.

As part of this collaboration, a limited-edition candy inspired by 'Wakattasan's Pudding' will be available exclusively at the Lumine Yurakucho store starting Monday, June 15, 2026. Additionally, a special collaboration version of PAPABUBBLE's popular candy-making workshop will be held, with advance reservations opening on the official website (https://papabubble.co.jp/pages/candy-making-studio).

Limited-Edition Candy Inspired by the Fairy Tale 'Wakattasan's Pudding'

A special collaboration candy mix inspired by 'Wakattasan's Pudding,' one of the most popular titles in the 'Wakattasan no Okashi' series, will be released.

The packaging, reminiscent of the book's cover, contains candies featuring the face of 'Wakattasan.' The flavor is based on the pudding from the story, complemented by strawberry-flavored candies with cake patterns, capturing the charm of the original work.

This product is designed to delight both fans of the series and candy lovers alike. It's perfect to enjoy alongside the original books.

About PAPABUBBLE

If it doesn't make you excited, it's not candy.

PAPABUBBLE.

This is not just a store that sells candy.

From this live process, you can choose your own unique piece.

One bite reveals a new kind of deliciousness.

Fun to watch. Fun to choose. Fun to eat.

In that moment, everyone’s eyes light up like a child’s.

Because candy, at its heart,

exists to make us excited.

Born in Barcelona in 2003, PAPABUBBLE

has elevated traditional candy-making techniques into a performance art.

We call it 'Craft Candy Theater.'
