Ohagi3, a traditional Japanese sweets shop, will be collaborating with the anime and manga series Fruits Basket in December 2023. The Shimokitazawa shop now has two sets of four ohagi themed after Fruits Basket characters available for pre-order for the price of 1,320 yen ($8.92) each. [Thanks, Natalie!]
The A set includes ohagi based on the characters Tohru Honda, Yuki Sohma, Momiji Sohma, and Hatori Sohma. Tohru’s ohagi is in the shape of an onigiri (rice ball), and Yuki’s is shaped like a rat, which corresponds to his representative zodiac animal in the series. Momiji’s ohagi is honey and cheese flavored, while Hatori’s tastes like purple sweet potato.
The B set features the characters Kyo Sohma, Hatsuharu Sohma, Ayame Sohma, and Shigure Sohma. Kyo’s ohagi is in the shape of a cat, which is his zodiac animal from the series. It’s also flavored with Kinako (roasted soybean flour). Shigure’s ohagi flavor is matcha, Hatsuharu’s is coconut, and Ayame’s is strawberry.
Both sets come with a different postcard featuring the characters represented by the included ohagi. The art print includes chibi illustrations of the characters next to their representative ohagi. Acrylic stands of the Fruits Basket ohagi illustrations and characters will also be sold at the Ohagi3 Shimokitazawa location for 880 yen ($5.94) each.
