Announcing the Best 3 popular Animas in commemoration of the 1st anniversary!

What is the sweets brand "ANIMALand" where "cute" takes center stage?

ANIMALand is a coined word combining "ANIMAL" and "Land." It debuted at Osaka Takashimaya as the first permanent store to further expand the worldview of "Animal Chocolat," which first appeared at Osaka Takashimaya on Valentine's Day in 2003.

Animas (residents) are each given a name and profile. The unique expressions of these chocolates are all hand-drawn and finished by artisans. It is a brand packed with that "heart-fluttering" feeling that makes you want to show them to someone and see their happy faces when you give them as a gift. Enjoy them as gifts, of course, or as a treat for yourself.

The packaging is also cute and makes a delightful souvenir.
