All pledges that have been paid for are now shipped and either delivered or in transit. From my side, it looks like US packages have been delivered, and it's just the international packages that are still making their way. If your package has not been delivered yet or if there are any issues, please email me as soon as possible at [email protected]
I'll be able to work on some things before my next event at Anime Los Angeles. I'd love to see what everyone uses their pouches for so feel free to tag me on socials!
Some housekeeping before updates! There is a small handful of backers who have not completed their surveys yet and/or have credit cards declined. If you do not complete this by December 31st 2025, I will be considering your pledge as a kind donation. Please double check your emails or reach out to me if you need a new survey link! Addresses will lock in 2 days.
On to some updates! Pouches have finally arrived! I'll be QA checking these pouches through the end of this month. If all goes smoothly, I'll start sending out rewards to backers whose orders only include pouches, stickers, and sticker sheets.
look at all these pouches!
Now for a bucket-hat update: while I don’t have a photo of the ube version just yet, the matcha and red bean hats are officially finished and looking deliciously cute. They should be on their way from my manufacturer soon. Carabiners are still making their journey and are expected to arrive around the end of November if no further delays occur.
With all these pieces coming together, I’m getting close to announcing the official fulfillment start date and we are right on schedule! As mentioned earlier, some pouch-only orders may start heading out before December.
Before I sign off, a little dessert for you: I’m hosting a Taiyaki Pouch Giveaway on Instagram! 🎉
Feel free to stop by and enter — I’d love to see you there!
Thanks again for your patience and support — more tasty updates coming soon!
Quick reminder about the timeline: If you haven't completed your survey yet, please do it ASAP! I can't fulfill your pledge until it's finished ;u;
Also, make sure your credit card info is up-to-date, as I'll be charging for shipping on October 3rd. This is your reminder that if you want to do an in-person meet (either the local climbing gym I frequent or at my next event if we are art moots) before you get charged!
Now for the fun part ✨
We've got an update at the carabiners! They weigh about 80g ea and come with a matte finish on a zinc alloy build: As for the pouches-- I'll be bringing a small batch to TwitchCon to advertise and sell in limited quantities, but if all goes well with shipping, we should have everything ready to go by mid-November. Each bag flavor will have its own unique tag on the belt, and I'll be trimming these tags in my free time haha. Thank you so much for your patience and support! I can't wait to have these snack pouches reach their new homes!!
Surveys have just been sent out -- check your email for yoru unique link! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out at [email protected]

Important:

And now, a little treat — here's a sneak peek at the color options to help you choose your flavor! 🍬✨
With your help, we've unlocked all planned stretch goals- 5 flavors, 3 carabiners, and an extra bucket hat option. Thank you so much for making this project happen!
So what's next? I'm heading out to Rose City Comic Con tonight so there won't be another update until late next week at the earliest. I'll be working on getting surveys set up by then, so be on the lookout for that email around Sept 13th.
Once the surveys are sent, you can select your crumb catcher filling flavor, add extra items, and see shipping costs. Please keep in mind that a blank survey means I cannot ship your items to you.
BackerKit should be charging cards for pledges soon, so double-check your payment details! If your initial payment fails, you have until September 16, 2025 to correct failed payments.
And lastly- Hereis the final sample update where the zipper pouch on the back has been extended!
And if you know anyone who missed out on this project, I'll have a preorder page opened up next week as well. Thanks again for your support!
