[2024 Update] You'll be swooning over how cute they are ♡ 5 "Long-tailed Tits Souvenirs" You Can Buy at New Chitose Airport

Hello, this is the ARNE Tokyo editorial department.

The long-tailed tit has been gaining popularity nationwide in recent years.

It is a very small wild bird that lives only in Hokkaido, and is extremely adorable with its round eyes and fluffy pure white feathers. It is also known as the "snow fairy."

There are lots of long-tailed tit merchandise available at the local New Chitose Airport!

Among the many available, we would like to introduce five that have caught the editors' attention.

1. siretoco sky sweets "Hokkaido (Long-tailed Tits)"

First up is the "Hokkaido (Long-tailed Tit)" donut (450 yen) from "siretoco sky sweets," a steamed donut shop with a cute bear character, "Kumagoron," in the middle.

This item, which is only available at New Chitose Airport, features a cute long-tailed tit peeking out from the hole in the donut!

The dough, made with milk from Nakashibetsu Town, Hokkaido, homemade salted caramel, and honey, is moist and fluffy.

It's delicious to eat as is, but if you chill it in the refrigerator, the crispy texture of the chocolate coating and the fluffy texture of the donut dough become even more pronounced, making it even more delicious!

The shelf life is 24 days at room temperature (estimated number of days after purchase).
