Japanese toy brand Tarlin International (ターリン・インターナショナル) will release a truly perplexing gashapon product in mid-July: the "Naan Bicycle Saddle Cover" (Naan no Saddle Cover)! There are 4 types to collect, with a suggested retail price of 400 JPY per capsule.
The fermented flatbread "Naan (ナン)", originating from Persia, is made by baking dough, mixed with ingredients like wheat flour, water, yeast, and oil, in a special "tandoor" oven after fermentation. It's not only crispy and versatile but also can be stored for a long time, remaining a staple food for many ethnic groups in Central Asia. Naan from different regions also takes on various shapes depending on local customs. For instance, when this gashapon item is placed on a bicycle saddle, it closely resembles the fan shape of Indian-style naan. It also looks very much like a slice of pizza! Park your beloved bike with the naan cover on, and it will definitely be among the most head-turning vehicles on the street (lol)!
The Naan Bicycle Saddle Covers come in four flavors: the simplest "Plain Naan," "Tandoori Chicken" (marinated with spices and yogurt), "Seafood Curry," and "Butter Chicken Curry." The base naan pattern is essentially the same for all, with different paint applications added on top to reflect the flavor variations. When unfolded, the total length is approximately 34 cm. Slip it onto your saddle, adjust the angle, and all you toy enthusiasts can start pedaling vigorously, baking the perfect naan with your passionate speed and resilient posterior!
