Hami-Kuma Cakes & Drinks, Snoopy Halloween Spaghetti & Pumpkin Cake at Universal Studios Japan

Halloween food available at Universal Studios Japan this season includes Snoopy and Hami-Kuma-inspired dishes, and we were able to try a few for review.

Hami-Kuma (the undead teddy bear mascot of Halloween Horror Nights) food items are at Beverly Hills Boulangerie, while drinks are at Wharf Cafe. Snoopy Halloween menu items are at Snoopy’s Backlot Cafe.

Hami-Kuma Food

Three decorative desserts are displayed on beige paper plates atop a red cloth. The desserts have varied toppings and creative presentations, including chocolate, candy, and intricate designs, reminiscent of the festive treats you might find at Universal Studios Japan's Snoopy Halloween 2024 event.

At Beverly Hills Boulangerie, we tried the Hami-Kuma Chocolate Cassis Cake inspired by the original Hami-Kuma and the Hami-Kuma Spiced Blueberry Cake inspired by Hami-Kuma Punk.

Hami-Kuma Chocolate Cassis Cake – ¥950

The Hami-Kuma Chocolate Cassis Cake is a visually striking dessert. This chocolate mousse is topped with cassis sauce and adorned with colorful toppings including a chocolate lollipop piece, making it look like a piece of art that’s almost too cute to eat.

A chocolate dessert topped with candies and syrup sits on a tartan mat, placed on a beige disposable plate with other desserts in the background. Perfect for Halloween 2024, this treat adds a spooky delight to your festivities.

The fluffy chocolate mousse melts in your mouth, offering a deep, rich flavor that perfectly pairs with the refreshing tartness of the cassis. The balance between sweetness and a light, clean finish is very enjoyable. Hidden inside the mousse are crunchy bits, adding a pleasant, crispy texture that contrasts with the smoothness.

The combination of the mousse’s creaminess, the cassis sauce’s slight thickness, and the added crunch creates a dynamic experience. We really enjoyed this.

Hami-Kuma Spiced Blueberry Cake – ¥950

The Hani-Kuma Spiced Blueberry Cake is not only visually striking, but delicious too. The chocolate mousse is subtly spiced, with a vibrant blueberry jam adding a pop of color. We also enjoyed the sprinkling of crunchy black pepper bits.

A slice of blueberry mousse cake with blue decorations and a chocolate layer on a beige paper plate, placed on a red tablecloth, looks like it came straight out of Universal Studios Japan.

With the first bite, the sweetness of the chocolate takes center stage, quickly followed by the spicy kick of black pepper. The balance between the sweetness and spice is perfectly tuned, keeping the flavors interesting. The fruity tartness of the blueberry jam adds a refreshing contrast that ties the entire dessert together.

The smoothness of the mousse contrasts well with the crunchiness of the black pepper, creating a unique texture that enhances the dish. The silky texture of the blueberry jam further enriches the overall mouthfeel. This is another win in our book.

Hami-Kuma Drinks at Wharf Cafe

A group of people lines up outside Wharf Cafe under a bright orange awning on a sunny day. The cafe is positioned next to a waterfront with a partly cloudy sky in the background.

Wharf Cafe has one drink inspired by Hami-Kuma and another inspired by Hami-Kuma Soul.

Menu board featuring two drinks: a brown-themed "Death" drink with whipped cream for 800 yen on the left, and a white-themed "Birth" drink with ice cream for 800 yen on the right.

Both come in themed plastic cups featuring their respective version of the teddy bear.

Cola & Whipped Cream

A hand holds a clear cup with a bear character design filled with a dark soda topped with vanilla ice cream. Picnic tables and cloudy sky are visible in the background.

The combination of cola and whipped cream in the Hami-Kuma Drink creates a unique contrast where the crispness of the cola blends with the sweetness of the whipped cream. As the two meld together, it creates a nice, creamy texture.

Blue curacao and jelly wait at the bottom of the cup, offering a fruity end note to the drink. The cola turns the blue curacao green when it mixes, leaning further into the “deathly” vibe of Hami-Kuma. It’s certainly Instagram-worthy.

A hand holds a cup of iced drink topped with various toppings including strawberries, boba, and whipped cream, with outdoor wooden benches and a waterfront visible in the background.

The drink is topped with berry syrup and fruit, adding even more sweetness. The berries’ slight tartness harmonizes well with the sweetness of the cola.

Overall, the Hami-Kuma Drink is a playful beverage that is as enjoyable to look at as it is to drink. Its flavors and presentation make it a must-try for Halloween.

Hami-Kuma Soul Drink – ¥800

Vanilla & Salt

A blue drink with whipped cream and sprinkles in a clear cup is held up by a hand. The cup has a cartoon bear graphic on it. A waterfront area with benches and a cloudy sky are in the background.

This Calpis-based drink stands out for its combination of whipped cream and a sprinkle of salt, creating an unexpected yet delicious flavor. You taste the sweet-and-tangy notes of Calpis first, then the creamy sweetness of the whipped cream. The salt adds a sharp accent and balances the overall sweetness.

A hand holds a blue slushy drink topped with whipped cream and candy sprinkles in a plastic cup with an illustration of a bear, viewed on a wooden deck beside a waterfront.

Like the Hami-Kuma Drink, this beverage hides a layer of blue curacao and jelly at the bottom. When mixed with the Calpis, the drink turns a vivid green.

We also really enjoyed this drink. Both are not to be missed if you’re after a fun, spooky beverage.

This spaghetti dish is both visually interesting and tasty. The large meatballs steal the spotlight, as they’re not just sizable, but packed with flavor. The meat sauce is hearty and clings well to the noodles.

Carrot pieces shaped like bats add a whimsical touch to the meal, further enhancing the Halloween theme. There is also what appears to be a fish cake with a design of Woodstock as a witch printed on it.

This meal will leave you satisfied, and is a fun dish to try for the spooky season.

The Snoopy Pumpkin Cake features a caramel-flavored sponge cake topped with a smooth layer of cheese cream.

The caramel sponge cake is light yet flavorful, with a slightly buttery taste complemented by the creamy cheese topping. The cheese adds a tangy richness that balances the sweetness of the caramel.
