A Food Education Experience: "Make it Yourself and Serve it to Your Family" Every summer vacation, ABC holds a one-time, standalone Pokémon kids' 1-day lesson for children aged 4 to 6th grade, conveying the joy of making sweets and the sense of accomplishment that comes from creating something themselves. This year's menu is the beloved "Custard Pudding Muffin." The pudding-flavored muffin, baked with caramel, is designed to be easily and deliciously made even by children new to baking, with gentle support from instructors. All four muffins can be taken home, allowing families to share the joy of handmade treats. Through this kids' 1-day lesson, we aim to provide as many children as possible with a sensory cooking experience and spark their interest in "food." Enjoy with Pokémon-designed Lesson Items! All Pokémon-designed lesson items are take-home. Participants will enjoy making muffins while wearing Captain Pikachu and Ditto aprons and a Captain Pikachu visor. The custard pudding-flavored batter will be baked in original Captain Pikachu and Ditto cups, and finished with Monster Ball-designed picks. During baking, children can enjoy Pokémon coloring pages, and the muffins will be taken home in an original bag. These excitingly designed items will encourage children's willingness to challenge themselves. Commemorative Photos with Pokémon Panels After the Lesson At the end of the lesson, commemorative photos can be taken with Pokémon panels. Standing in the center of the standee panel makes it look like you're surrounded by Pokémon. Along with the muffins they made themselves, children can capture their sense of accomplishment and happiness in photos. We aim to deliver a special time that families can enjoy as a summer memory. ■ Kids' 1-Day Lesson Overview ■ ■ Menu Name: Let's Make Together ♪ Pokémon Custard Pudding Muffins ■ Event Period: July 1 (Wed), 2026 - August 31 (Mon), 2026 　*Reservations start June 1 (Mon), 2026 ■ Location: ABC Cooking Studios nationwide, affiliated studios ■ Target Audience: Children aged 4 to 6th grade 　*Guardians cannot participate. ■ Participation Fee: ¥3,850 (includes ingredients, tax) ■ Lesson Duration: 90 minutes ■ What to Bring: Hand towel ■ Take-home Items: 4 muffins (6.5cm square) ■ How to Reserve: Via WEB ■ Reservation Site: https://www.abc-cooking.co.jp/campaign/2026_pokemon/ Handmade Kits Available for Easy Enjoyment at Home Contents of the Pokémon Custard Pudding Muffin Handmade Kit ABC Cooking MARKET, the online store produced by ABC Cooking Studio, offers handmade kits containing pre-measured ingredients matched to the recipe, along with picks and muffin cups.
