To start off your day, make an easy and scrumptious breakfast with this Cinnamoroll mini waffle maker from Sanrio (US). Our resident bunny-looking puppy is embossed on the inside to make your fresh waffles even cuter. Here’s some cute waffle recipes to try too.
If you’re more in the mood for miso soup and a bowl of rice, ARTBOX (UK) has a Kuromi rice and soup bowl set that you can also use for side dishes and snacks. It’s microwave-friendly, so you can pop it in and reheat your food when needed.

Once your kitchen is all prepped, you’re ready to go! Here are some Instagram accounts to follow for cute recipe inspo:
Michael Tran of betweenspoonfuls often creates Sanrio treats. For something healthy, why not try rolling some Badtz-Maru themed sushi using cheese and nori pieces to recreate Badtz-Maru’s iconic expression? There’s also Gudetama egg tarts and even spooky cute Hello Kitty cookies in line with the Halloween season.
Make sipping on your bubble milk tea even more fun by creating your own boba from scratch – Emily Figueroa has created a bunch of Sanrio boba recipes, including Keroppi boba which goes great for either pandan or matcha-based drinks. Other variants include Tuxedosam (blue curacao) and My Melody (pink Starburst with raspberry extract).
Tanghulu is still a very popular snack, and if you’ve been wanting to try your hand at making these candied fruits on your own, icha homecafe’s recipe on Hello Kitty tanghulu is straightforward and easy to follow. Icha also often creates Sanrio-themed savory and sweet snacks, such as Hello Kitty dumplings and Pompompurin madeleines.
Sanrio often does various collaborations with food brands as well, so keep an eye out for these for more opportunities to try Sanrio-themed food – check our Character Cafes posts for options in Japan, UK & USA. If you’re traveling to Japan, bookmark Cakes with Faces’ Japan character café guide – it’s regularly updated and features a lineup of cute collaborations, including Sanrio. Also, here in the Philippines, Krispy Kreme launched a limited-edition donut collection for Hello Kitty’s 50th anniversary! I was lucky enough to try them, and they were definitely as good as they looked.
