The "Sirotan Funwari Store" pop-up shop is coming to the Hands Gate Shop at Gate Walk, Nagoya Station's underground shopping mall. The limited-time store will run from Saturday, January 17 to Friday, January 30, 2026.
Creative Yoko Co., Ltd. (headquartered in Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture; President: Takeyuki Kitahara) is bringing its original character "Sirotan" to visitors in a special temporary location. The company's philosophy of "comfort, healing, encouragement, and connection" is embodied in this harp seal character.
Since its debut in 1999, Sirotan has delighted customers across generations with its soft plush toys and stuffed animals. The character's rounded form and gentle expression provide comfort and peace to people of all ages.
Early Release and Pop-Up Exclusive Items
The pop-up store will feature an early release of "Mokomoko Hour Potepote Mascot (Sirotan/Rakkoinu/Ramune)" and "Sirotan Mokomoko Hour Mini Towel," both scheduled for general release on Friday, January 23, 2026.
Additionally, the store will offer pop-up exclusive items themed around convenience stores, featuring mascots and goods inspired by popular hot snacks and light meals. The convenience store series mini memo will also make its debut at this event.
The entire store is wrapped in Sirotan's signature "fluffy" atmosphere, creating a healing space that brings joy just by looking around.
