  A pretty cute set in general even though the concept is not unique (Re-ment has already came out with many pancakes, rice omelettes, flan and curry rice). One thing I've noticed about recent Re-ments is that they've been using stickers on the plates, thermos, lunch container & cups instead of printing the images directly onto the items. The edges of the stickers will eventually lose its tackiness and start coming off.

Unlike Glico, Kabaya frequently acquires licensing for popular characters. I've seen Hello Kitty & Thomas the Train. Seems like Rilakkuma is currently the most popular from San-x. Re-ment already has plans for releasing 2 Rilakkuma sets but not the other San-x characters. Even the pouch is covered with Rilakkuma! The sticks are butter flavored and they taste pretty much the same as Glico's Pretz. Japanese Oreo candy bars! I thought I give these a try because the Japanese Kit Kats were so good. The one on the top is matcha green tea and the bottom one is milk tea. I thought the center was chocolate w/ Oreo bits but whole thing seemed to be a cookie covered in a layer of chocolate. Even my brother thought so too so his first reaction was, "it's so chalky!" Matcha Green Tea. I love this one and I'm definitely going to stock up on these next time! Milk Tea. I didn't really like this one because the milk tea seemed to be the Earl Grey type of milk tea so ...

Here's a preview of the 5 Re-ment sets that will be coming out in November or December. The Disney ice cream cones are keychains that are also pens. The cats are keychains. Re-ment is doing another zipper pouch series with the Toy Story characters (can't wait till they do a Hello Kitty or Rilakkuma zipper pouch series)! The Hello Kitty pieces are all magnets (I like the sewing machine)! For the Rilakkuma set, those are regular miniature food items. I 'm definitely going to get the Hello Kitty magnets and 3-4 complete sets of the Rilakkuma bakery!

This Hello Kitty set, along with the Hello Kitty Bakery & Showcase set ( See post ) will be released in Oct!! My wallet won't be happy but it's been quite a while since I bought multiple series within the same month. There is usually 1 set from the series that I don't like but I like every design here. These are suppose to be the squeezable just like the Re-ment Disney character bun key chains. Glad that that Re-ment teamed up with San-x. I wonder if the Disney License is over. I hope Re-ment will do a Afro Ken & Nyanko food or furniture series. No phone straps or key chains please because there are already tons of those from San-x. If you look closely at the pieces, they're really just repeats of other series but with the Rilakkuma images. My least favorite from this collection would be #3, the rice omelet set because there are only a few pieces in there. In addition, I'm not a rice omelet fan and I already have tons of Re-ment rice omelets already. One fro...
