The Hobonichi Techo 2022 Store Exclusives include a “Not-Scary Bear's Little Spoon,” an expression of our wish that you’ll be able to scoop up your hopes.

The bowl, the round head of the spoon, is imprinted with a smiley face to put a smileright back on your own. The included ball-chain can be attached at any of the holesat the edge of the design to make this little spoon a charm you can attach to yourZippers cover or bag or anywhere else you’d like.

This genuine spoon was created by an advanced cutlery production center in TsubameCity, Niigata. The spoon comes packaged in one of three random designs showingHobonichi's Misunderstood Bear.

As the package is in Japanese, here is an English translation of what’s written on it.

Package Exterior:
Hobonichi’s character, the Misunderstood Bear, has sharp fangs and claws, so he wearsa mask whenever he can.

The truth is, he’s not a scary bear. And although he’s holding the spoon protectively,he’s ready to share it with you as a present alongside your Hobonichi Techo.

Package Interior:
Hope is a very important thing, so make sure you never lose it. A single pinch of saltcan lock in flavor for an entire dish, and hope is like that salt.
