As readers may be aware, I have been on the search for the Totoro bun from Tous Les Jours for a while now. I have finally found him!
The Totoro bun was found lurking in the Nurenjie 女人街 branch of Tous Les Jours. I had been on his trail for many weeks now, waiting to catch a glimpse of this elusive bun. Each time, I was unable to find him, just missing him.
The Totoro bun in his natural habitat.
But finally, victory was mine!
The Totoro bread costs 6 RMB, and he is very tasty with bits of chocolate for his whiskers and fur. Inside, he is filled with a sweet cream. I felt a bit evil for how much enjoyment I got from eating a Totoro!
In case you don’t know what a Totoro is, he is the title character from the movie Tonari no Totoro (My Neighbor Totoro) by Studio Ghibli. He is very popular, especially in Asia. Here’s what he looks like from the film.
