Halloween themed food for 2019 in Japan - part 2

After I published my first post about Halloween themed food for 2019 in Japan I discovered a few more delicious things I would like to share.

Halloween Crepe in Koenji 

Close to the north exit of Koenji station you can find a small crepe stand called Crepe Cake Cookies. They currently over a limited-edition Halloween Crepe.

I really like the cute cookies and chocolate pieces on the top. The filling of the crepe is mostly whipped cream and chocolate but nothing too fancy though.

I would put this Halloween crepe into the category "nice for Instagram" but it's not really exciting on the flavour end. It is also quite pricy. 

Lawson Rilakkuma Halloween Sweets

Convenience store chain Lawson has done several collaborations with Sanrio for Rilakkuma themed sweets. Currently, you can find Halloween themed Rilakkuma sweets in the Lawson shops.

These are mainly made of sugar and with a pumpkin-flavoured filling. Rilakkuma Halloween sweets should be available in every Lawson across Japan but they tend to sell out fast, so you might have to check back later. They cost 280 yen and have 98kcal each.

Halloween Cake from Fujiya

The Japanese bakery chain Fujiya currently has several Halloween themed cakes for sale. I tried this one that looks like a little monster.

This is a Mount Blanc Cake made of sweet potato mash. In the centre is a sponge cake with matcha sauce.  As I like matcha and sweet potatoes I did enjoy this cake from a visual and flavour perspective. The price of 430 yen is reasonable, I think. Fujiya also has a few more Halloween cakes available.

Fujiya has branches all over Japan. You can check here where the branch in Japan closest to you is.

Halloween Manju

A few days ago I came across a special limited shop at my nearest train station. They were selling a lot of cute sweets -- mostly cat-themed. They also had a few Halloween themed Manju. 

Manju are traditional Japanese sweets made of flour that are usually filled with anko, the sweet red bean paste made of azuki beans. Taste wise these Halloween manju tasted like regular manju but I think it was worth buying them for the cute Halloween design. Unfortunately, the shop has closed already and they are not available anymore.

So far I think I have tried quite a few things this Halloween in Japan. The great finale will be a visit to Tokyo Disneyland where I plan to go this week. I will try as much Halloween food as I can find.

Happy Halloween everyone!
