It looks like a Gashapon capsule toy featuring miniature sweets charms from the confectionery shop “Henri Charpentier”, which has its main store in Kinmitsu-cho near Hanshin Ashiya Station, went on sale from the 4th week of October〜

It costs 300 yen per try and is now available nationwide. In Kansai, it looks like you can also find it at places like Kobe Harborland umie and HEP FIVE in Umeda〜

↑ Here’s how it compares in size with a real financier. So cute!

In addition to the financier, said to be “the world’s best-selling,” the lineup apparently includes miniatures such as shortcake, ice cream, and assorted cookies〜
They’d be fun to attach to a bag or pouch, or to photograph alongside plushies and dolls!

At participating stores, including “Henri Charpentier Ashiya Main Store” in Kinmitsu-cho, there is also a campaign where customers who purchase 5,500 yen or more including tax, including the 55th anniversary product “Hazelnut Financier,” can spin the Gashapon once.
This campaign runs from October 7 until supplies run out, so it might be just barely still available?
If you absolutely want one of these charms, it seems best to check participating locations and stock availability on the Bandai Gashapon official website and go try it for 300 yen〜
↑ “Henri Charpentier” is celebrating its 55th anniversary this year, and in addition to the Gashapon, various campaigns are being held, including special products and limited-time menu items〜
