Ginbis Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Shuji Miyamoto) announces the launch of a new product commemorating Cat Day on February 22nd (Sunday): "Mini Tabekko Dobutsu Cafe Nyate Flavor," which will be released sequentially at convenience stores nationwide starting February 9th (Monday).
About "Mini Tabekko Dobutsu Cafe Nyate Flavor"
This special package celebrates February 22nd "Cat Day" with cats taking the starring role. The other animals appear in designs inspired by cafe staff uniforms.
The product plays with the cat theme in delightful ways, including a pun on the flavor name—"Cafe Nyate" instead of "Cafe Latte," mimicking the sound of a cat's meow. The package is filled with charming cat-themed elements throughout.
The moment you open the bag, a sweet cafe latte aroma wafts out, and you can enjoy the perfect balance of coffee's subtle bitterness, milk's gentle sweetness, and the biscuit's aromatic flavor.
With its mild cafe latte taste, this product can be enjoyed by a wide range of ages, from adults to children.
Additionally, these mini-sized versions are smaller than the regular Tabekko Dobutsu, making them easy to eat in one bite and convenient to enjoy anywhere.
About "Cat Day": A commemorative day established in 1987 by the Pet Food Industry Association (now the General Incorporated Association Pet Food Association) in collaboration with the Cat Day Establishment Committee. It originates from the wordplay of cats' meowing sound "Nyan (2) Nyan (2) Nyan (2)," and is celebrated as a day to appreciate the happiness of living with cats.
