One of my favorite things to do when I'm at the
Mitsuwa market is check out the cookie/candy aisle. Its true I have a sweet tooth but I'm even more interested in the packaging. It seems with every visit I stumble across something new. This time I found these adorable
Moomin shaped cookies. For those not familiar with the
Moomins, they are characters from a series of books and comic strips written by Tove
Jansson.
This box also caught my eye for the cookie pictured on the box. I liked how the cookie looked three-dimensional. I know cookies are already three-dimensional but this looked different. Usually a cookie is decorated with a print or frosting, not more cookie. So I had to see what they really looked like and bought a box.
To my delight, they were even cuter in person. I fear I may never be able to go back to my basic animal crackers after seeing these.

so cute!!! when i was in tokyo i found some moomin bath salts for my son: they were peppermint scented and turned the bath LUMINOUS green!
ReplyDeleteI love Moomins, but I've never seen those packaged cookies. I don't think we have them here in Finland.
ReplyDeleteOMG, omgeee, the Moomin cookies!!! Thanks for the blast of nostalgia!
ReplyDeleteAdorable cookies! Did they taste as good? :)
ReplyDeleteDeanna,
ReplyDeleteThe texture is different than regular animal crackers but they tasted just as good.
