Bourbon announced that it will begin the rolling release of おっきなチョコあ〜んぱん, a new product approximately 16 times the size of its long-selling チョコあ〜んぱん, on 5 October 2026.
Bourbon's おっきなチョコあ〜んぱん is a new product based on the long-loved チョコあ〜んぱん, expanded to approximately 16 times the standard product's weight. It is filled generously with chocolate cream and designed to be enjoyed with its moist, fluffy bread dough.
チョコあ〜んぱん was launched in 1986 and has become popular as a bite-sized bread product. The character あ〜んぱんおじさん, whose design inspired the product's name, has also been familiar to consumers for many years.
The product will be sold primarily through プチモール and the Bourbon online shop, with rolling availability through プチモール vending machines and online in the Tokyo metropolitan area, Osaka, Aichi, Miyagi, Fukushima and Niigata. The online shop will sell the product by the case, with 10 pieces per case.
