- Chiikawa Bakery will sell Santa-hat Chiikawa, Hachiware and Usagi breads in Tokyo and Osaka from November 13 to December 27, 2026.
- Buying three gets you the new holiday box while boxes last, and you can choose any combination of characters.
- The separate tiramisu-style Hachiware bread is Tokyo-only and scheduled for November 11; the advent calendar follows in stores on November 24.
After appearing in Tokyo last year, Chiikawa Bakery’s Santa-hat breads will be sold in both Tokyo Omotesando and Osaka Umeda from November 13 to December 27, 2026. This year adds an original holiday box for purchases of three, while boxes last.

Snackgirls react
Kirari: Those Santa hats need a photo with the red holiday box. I’d have the camera out before taking a single bite!
Nea: I’d like to try Chiikawa’s mushroom-stew filling first. The three look like a matching set, so I’m curious how different their fillings would be side by side.
Three Santa faces with different fillings
Chiikawa has a savory mushroom-stew filling, Hachiware has strawberry milk, and Usagi has cheese cream. Each bread costs ¥660, including tax.
The hat decorations give each character a different finishing touch: a yellow star for Chiikawa, a green leaf beside Hachiware’s hat, and a cream rosette for Usagi.



The box doesn’t require one of each
There’s no need to choose one Chiikawa, one Hachiware and one Usagi. You can repeat a favorite character or pick any mix of three Santa breads.
The original box has red sides, a white illustrated lid and dark teal trim. Boxes are available only while supplies last.

Tokyo’s tiramisu-style Hachiware bread is due first
A separate Hachiware tiramisu-style bread is scheduled for November 11, exclusively at the Tokyo shop. Filled with mascarpone cream and diced strawberries, it costs ¥1,600, including tax.

The advent calendar follows on November 24
The book-style advent calendar, with compartments numbered 1–24, is scheduled for in-store release on November 24 at ¥5,500, including tax.
The Tokyo bakery is on the third floor of Tokyu Plaza Omotesando OMOKADO. The Osaka shop is on the third floor of KITTE Osaka in JP Tower Osaka. Both have hours of 11 a.m.–8 p.m., with irregular closing days.
One reservation option is a priority-entry ticket with a novelty item and shopping voucher for ¥1,000, including tax. Check the current reservation and entry requirements before visiting.
