The fifth local capsule toy, ``British Toast Goods & THE Kudo Pan Acrylic Keychain,'' will be released at Ito-Yokado Hirosaki store (in front of Hirosaki City Station) on October 27th.

Local Capsule Toys sell keychains and mascots with motifs of familiar local foods and public transportation. We started selling it last summer, and this is the 5th edition. The products are sold under different themes each time, and the cumulative number of products sold is 12,000 (as of the end of September).

This time, the theme was British Toast, a sweet bread that originated in Aomori Prefecture, and Kudo Pan (Aomori City), which manufactures British toast. There are two types titled "British Toast Goods" and "THE Kudo Pan Acrylic Key Chain."

``British Toast Goods'' includes a total of 5 types, including sacoches, hand towels, and magnets featuring the British Toast packaging design. The centerpiece, the sacoche, is sized to hold an actual piece of British toast, making it convenient to carry. The price is 500 yen.

``THE Kudo Pan Acrylic Keychain'' is a total of 8 types of keychains with motifs of Kudo Pan's company name logo and popular products such as Castella Sandwich, New Katsu Sandwich, and Chocolay. In addition to the current "KUDOPAN" company name logo, the old logo known as "Yuto Pan" will also be added. The price is 400 yen.

Hajime Saito of Asahi Printing (Aoki-cho, Hirosaki City), which handles planning and sales, said, ``There is more enthusiasm than ever in the company that we cannot miss this collaboration with Kudo Bread, which has been loved by the people of Aomori Prefecture for half a century.'' It was there. I want people to pick up and wear this work that I am proud of, made with great attention to detail," he says with a smile.

The sales location is the 1st floor entrance event hall of Ito-Yokado Hirosaki store.
