Memory Card Game with Kyoto Bread


Background of the product

A postcard shop that has been involved in the tourism industry in Kyoto for many years planned a product using Kyoto's bread, which is the most consumed bread in Japan. Among the many bakeries in Kyoto, five "local bakeries" that have been loved by the locals cooperated to create a card game of neurasthenia with bread as the illustration. A new Kyoto souvenir is now available.



Product Features

Five "bakeries in town" that have been loved by Kyoto residents for many years

Sasaki Pan, Taisho Bakery, Tengudo Unno Bakery, Maruki Bakery, and Manhattan are popular bakeries in Kyoto, and some of them have been in business for over 100 years. All of these bakeries are very popular among locals and tourists alike for the simple, nostalgic taste of their bread and the happy atmosphere of their stores.


Illustration by Yuki Sugar

The cute illustrations that make you happy just by looking at them are newly drawn by Yuki Sugar, an illustrator who has drawn many "delicious" illustrations of food and ingredients. The cute cards, which include not only the bread but also the name of the store and the bread, can be displayed, comforted, and enjoyed in a variety of ways.


*A simple card game that can be enjoyed by all generations

This is a simple card game of neurasthenia, so everyone from children to the elderly can enjoy it together. You can have fun while having delicious conversations about how even the same bean-pan differs from store to store, how you would like to try this bread, what you know about this bread, and so on.


*Card games that even adults will want to play.

The card game of neurasthenia is a game for children, but the cards depicting breads from bakeries in Kyoto are a new souvenir of Kyoto as well as a card game that can be picked up by a wide range of people who like Kyoto, bread, paper goods, and cute things.


Let's enjoy a game of neurasthenia!
