The CafeCat marshmallows are currently being sold in Japan at dessert shop Yawahada. The sweet treats float and eventually dissolve into warm drinks, be it coffee, tea, hot chocolate or virtually any specialized beverage.
These adorable feline treats are sold in packages with different flavors including chocolate and vanilla. Shoppers thus have much to choose from, though the product is currently unavailable for international purchase outside of Japan.
Separating these bite sized desserts from others is the way in which they sit in drinks. The paws of these faux cats stick out at the surface, making it appear as if they are swimming in the liquids as they shrink to smaller and smaller proportions. For those visiting Japan, it is certainly worth a visit to the store.
