On October 20, 2025 (today), Shichijo Kansyudo has launched online sales of its Pokémon-themed Kyoto-style sweets, “Pokémon Kyogashi.” In-store sales are scheduled to begin on October 25.
Previously, Pokémon Kyogashi had been offered as limited-time and limited-quantity items, including various products such as wagashi (fresh sweets), fukuyaki (baked rice crackers), and youkan (sweet bean jelly). Going forward, these treats will be available for purchase year-round through both in-store outlets and the online store.
The product lineup consists of three types: “Pokémon Wagashi,” “Pokémon Fukuyaki,” and “Pokémon Hanagashi.” They will be sold at four locations: Kyoto Main Store, Kita-Senju Marui Store, JR Kyoto Isetan Store, and Fushimi Otemachi Store. Additionally, the room-temperature version of Pokémon Wagashi will be available only once a month—on the 7th—at the Kyoto Main Store.

Pokémon-themed Kyoto-style sweets are now available
Shichijo Kansyudo’s “Pokémon Kyogashi” will be sold in-store starting October 25 (Saturday).
Online sales also begin today, October 20 (Monday).
Founded in 1865, Shichijo Kansyudo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: 493 Kegaya-cho, Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture; Representative: Keiko Kinoshita) has been crafting traditional Kyoto sweets for over 150 years. Starting October 25, 2025 (Saturday), the company will launch its new Pokémon-themed Kyoto confections, “Pokémon Kyogashi.” To reach even more people, online sales are also starting today, October 20.
Pokémon has been beloved by people of all ages and brings together hearts across countries, regions, and languages through everyday experiences like catching or raising Pokémon. Kyoto sweets continuously evolve by preserving tradition while incorporating seasonal changes, popular waka poetry, paintings, and other cultural elements from each era.
Since 2023 autumn, Shichijo Kansyudo has been creating Kyoto-style sweets inspired by traditional events in Kyoto, paired with Pokémon that come to mind during each season. These offerings have received widespread acclaim, but due to their limited quantity, many customers were unable to purchase them.
Therefore, this time we are introducing a new range of “Pokémon Kyogashi” featuring additional Pokémon, available year-round so more people can enjoy these delightful treats. We have put our hearts into crafting each piece with care and joy, hoping you’ll take pleasure in experiencing the deliciousness and fun of Kyoto sweets through this special collaboration.
