Finishing the review are the popular PomPom Purin-themed treats, which delight fans of kawaii culture.

Most of these snacks can be found at major supermarkets, convenience stores, or specialty sweets shops across Japan, especially in major cities like Tokyo and Osaka.

Uji Kintoki, for example, hails from Uji in Kyoto Prefecture and is a staple of Japanese summer desserts.
