Yes there is. And it involves curling up with a mug of liquid chocolate filled with marshmallows shaped like kittens. (Ignore for a second that they’re drowning.) The Yawahada marshmallow shop in Japan that makes these kitty-shaped puffs recently launched international shipping, so if you or someone you know melts every time you see a cat you should order these right now. The carefully-crafted marshmallows cost about $6.80, plus shipping, for a box of four. Timing is cutting it close for stocking stuffers, but you should be able to have these sugar kittens in time for all your #cozyscenarios come January (and Valentine’s Day). You can order them on the [Yawahada website](http://yawahada.ocnk.net/product-list/2); information is translated into English [here](http://yawahada.ocnk.net/page/2). With America finally getting some [cat cafés of its own](http://www.foodandwine.com/fwx/secrets/6-questions-ultimate-cat-lady), we see a bright future for the cat-shaped confection business. _This_ [_article_](http://www.foodandwine.com/fwx/secrets/cat-marshmallows-cutest-addition-your-winter-drink) _originally appeared on_ [_Food & Wine_](http://fwx.foodandwine.com/?xid=PS%5Ftime)_._ _More from Food & Wine:_ * [7 Online Resources That Let You Dominate the Holidays](http://www.foodandwine.com/fwx/secrets/7-online-resources-let-you-dominate-holidays-lift-finger) * [FWx Beer Hacks: How to Open a Beer Without a Bottle Opener](http://www.foodandwine.com/fwx/drink/fwx-beer-hacks-how-open-beer-without-bottle-opener) * [Man Breaks Record for Most Expensive Starbucks Drink Ever](http://www.foodandwine.com/fwx/drink/man-breaks-record-most-expensive-starbucks-drink-ever) Cat Marshmallows: The Cutest Addition to Your Winter Drink ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3620845/cat-marshmallows-winter-drink/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3620845/cat-marshmallows-winter-drink/"},"headline":"This Exists: Cat Marshmallows for Your Drinks","datePublished":"2014-12-05T21:42:37.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:15:04.736Z","description":"The Yawahada marshmallow shop in Japan makes these kitty-shaped puffs","url":"https://time.com/3620845/cat-marshmallows-winter-drink/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Living","Food & Drink","cute","winter"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1f47f33a194b2550/69876d01428a9e7a44cc5da4/fwx-cat-marshmallows-from-japan.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Noah Kaufman / Food & Wine"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1f47f33a194b2550/69876d01428a9e7a44cc5da4/fwx-cat-marshmallows-from-japan.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Cat marshmallows","caption":"Cat marshmallows","creditText":"Courtesy of Yawahada Marshmallow Shop","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3620845/cat-marshmallows-winter-drink/","name":"This Exists: Cat Marshmallows for Your Drinks"}}]}] ```
