There are super kawaii Sumikkogurashi promotions going on at McDonald’s in Hong Kong! The crown jewel is undoubtedly a Great Fortune Tree set including the cutest little Penguin, Lizard, Bear and Cutlet plushies! You can also get a dainty tempura shrimp plush charm, and other items featuring the shy ‘animals in the corner’. There are a few sweet images of these extremely popular San-X characters available on McDonald’s Hong Kong website that we want to share with you here, take a look right below this post and enjoy! There is even a lovely Sumikkogurashi video, on their Facebook page which you should check out! 🙂
Some of the local restaurants of the famous fast food chain have also started offering Sumikkogurashi Lai See packets for the upcoming Chinese New Year. As the term Lai See may not sound familiar to our readers around the world, we will add that these items are also known as red pockets!
According to Chinese tradition, it is the Year of the Metal Rat that is fast approaching. The Rat is the first of 12 animals that constitute the Chinese zodiac signs, making up for cycles of 12 years. Well, the rat may not be your favorite animal, but the Sumikkogurashi are certainly amongst our favorite kawaii creatures of all times!
