Fairycake Fair to Hold Summer Fair 'Kuma-chan's Slightly Long Journey Begins' in Collaboration with Potter Hikaru Masuda from June 2

The cupcake and biscuit shop 'Fairycake Fair' is launching a summer fair titled 'Kuma-chan's Slightly Long Journey Begins', a collaboration with internationally recognized potter Hikaru Masuda, starting on Tuesday, June 2, 2026. Looking at 'Kuma-chan' stepping forward with a large backpack reminds us to cherish the slow-flowing time in our own way. This summer, sweets and goods that bring a little feeling of travel into your daily life—enjoyable both to look at and to eat—will be introduced. ◆ Hikaru Masuda × Fairycake Fair 'Kuma-chan's Slightly Long Journey Begins' Stepping out with a large backpack, or relaxing inside a tent. Using scenes capturing moments from Kuma-chan's summer journey as a motif, we created sweets and goods together with potter Hikaru Masuda that are fun to look at and eat. Starting with a tightly packed biscuit tin, the lineup includes an embroidered drawstring bag, a pouch, hook tea, and a sticker set. Furthermore, a complete set featuring an exclusive original pottery piece, a 'tent-shaped lidded plate', is also available! We deliver a special lineup to liven up your tea time this summer. Even if nothing extraordinary happens, the journey begins. Please enjoy a gentle summer snack time spent with Kuma-chan. ◆ 'A slightly long journey begins.' During the summer, the Kuma-chans go somewhere far away. Walking with a large backpack, or absentmindedly looking outside from within a tent. Nothing special happens, but the scent of the wind, unfamiliar scenery, and the slightly slowly flowing time are savored. Hikaru Masuda's Kuma-chans have a presence as if they exist on an extension of reality. The sweets lined up next to them are also small joys unexpectedly encountered during the journey. A time that makes you feel as if you've slightly changed places with just one bite—please enjoy such moments. ◆ [Product Introduction] (Total of 5 items) Drawn across the entire lid is the figure of 'Kuma-chan', clutching a mountain-like luggage larger than its own body, staring straight ahead and about to take a step. It looks somewhat bewildered, or perhaps resolved. A beloved burden and the beginning of a journey. Where did it come from, and where is it heading? The prologue to a story of a slightly long journey that starts now. Just like the scenery and memories of a journey that suddenly return, it makes you want to go back to that place of deliciousness over and over again. We deliver a summer tea time filled with such comforting lingering resonance. As if jotting down the footprints of a journey, yet drawing the eye with vigorous brushstrokes and vivid thick coats of paint, is an acrylic painting by Hikaru Masuda. This is an original artwork painted specifically for this project. We have turned this depiction, which breathes with the heavy texture of paint, into a matte biscuit tin with a pleasant touch. The moist yet smooth, comfortably sleek feel is like a gentle, rustic afterglow that brings to mind small travel sceneries every time you touch it. The living presence residing in the work makes it a tin like a treasure box, one you'll want to keep to store travel memories and precious things even after eating. - Biscuit Introduction (4 types, 22 pieces in total) - Perhaps one of the true identities of the luggage Kuma-chan carefully carried on its back is biscuits that gently color the moments of the journey! Opening the tin reveals a dense arrangement of four flavorful types of biscuits, carefully baked one by one by our workshop artisans. Cultured butter, cacao, and Earl Grey. Please enjoy the crisp, pleasant texture and the gentle sweetness of the ingredients, where the rustic flavor emerges more clearly the more you chew. - 'Kuma-chan' Cultured Butter Biscuit A biscuit packed with cultured butter, featuring a delightfully crisp and savory texture. You can simply enjoy the rich flavor and the deep taste of butter. - Diamant Butter Biscuit A rich biscuit that highlights the deep taste of cultured butter and elegant sweetness. The sugar dusted on the surface sparkles like diamonds. - Earl Grey Biscuit A gorgeous piece where finely chopped Earl Grey is kneaded into the cultured butter dough. A high-quality aroma spreads the moment you take a bite. - Chocolate Chip Cacao Biscuit Characterized by a richness where the mellow depth and aroma of cacao spread. With a firm texture, you can enjoy a dignified chocolate flavor with every chew. ■ 'Kuma-chan's Journey Begins Biscuit Tin' ◇ Price (tax included): 2,400 JPY ◇ Product URL: https://fairycake.jp/products/10810206 ◆ Kuma-chan's travel preparations, imbued with the warmth of embroidery.
