BANDAI’s Gashapon brand is serving up an adorable new release with the “Fluffy Grated Daikon Kitties Mejirushi Accessory” collection. Each design transforms grated daikon, a familiar Japanese condiment, into a chubby little cat nestled into dishes such as hot pot, grilled fish, and tamagoyaki. With their round bodies and delightfully blank expressions, these tiny cats look like they accidentally found their way onto the dinner table. The collection includes five designs, priced at 300 yen per play (tax included), and is scheduled for release in mid-December 2026.
Following the similarly food-themed “Fried Shark” Mejirushi Accessory, which turned sharks into golden-brown fried treats, BANDAI is now transforming cats into mounds of grated daikon. The five designs are the “Assorted Hot Pot Cat,” “Kimchi Hot Pot Cat,” “Soba Cat,” “Grilled Fish Cat,” and “Tamagoyaki Cat.” Some soak in hot pots filled with vegetables and tofu, another curls up beside a grilled fish, while one waits behind a thick slice of tamagoyaki. Each cat strikes a different pose, looking ready to be served alongside the meal.
