Coo coo, just Asako flapping on by. My recent stationery obsession is...



A Hato Sablé...



... Sticky note!
It looks just like a miniature version of the cookie—how cute!


▲Are you a head-first or tail-first eater? Personally, I’m a total tail-starter.

Here is how it looks compared to the edible Hato Sablé. I only realized this once I lined them up, but the color is a bit lighter than the real cookie. I wonder if that’s to make it easier to read what you’ve written?



In contrast to the crispy, crunchy texture of the real cookies, the case for these sticky notes is soft and fluffy.



The size is about that of a large sticker, so it seems perfect for making important plans stand out in your techo.



There’s a decent amount of writing space, but not too much, so it’s also handy for adding a quick little note when handing something over to someone.





The formal name of these sticky notes is “Hatotto Itte - Fluffy Ver.” Apparently, they are only sold at the Toshimaya main store in Kamakura.

The reason I’m writing “apparently” as if it’s someone else’s business is because I didn’t actually go and buy them myself. When I first learned about these sticky notes, I wanted them so badly I couldn't sit still! I resorted to the sneaky tactic of asking a colleague who lives in Kamakura to buy them for me. I’m so sorry.



The Hato Sablé is really something, just look how passionate I’ve become. Anyways, thanks for reading and please look forward to the next post!

Coo coo.
