#AprilFools

Quoted from @bellbell_foods' post

"It makes me hungry," "I could eat three bowls of rice with this," "It's like a dream perfume!" This post by Bell Foods, an indispensable member of the Hokkaido dining table, became a hot topic. The smell of the room where you had Genghis Khan the day before...isn't it a familiar smell for Hokkaido residents? Just imagining it makes my stomach rumble.

2. Matsuo Jingisukan "Gyu-juicy Genghis Khan Blanket"

|ω・｀)ﾉ Good morning! Today is #AprilFools

Starting at noon today, we will be taking orders for the "Pop-out! Matsuo Jingisukan Cushion Blanket," a 2-way blanket that can also be used as a cushion 🍖

[Blanket] Meat juices spurting out! Stylish Matsuo Jingisukan pattern [Cushion] Fold it and close the zipper to complete the cushion♪

Quoted from @matsuo1956's post

Genghis Khan is a familiar theme every year! Matsuo Genghis Khan has announced the "Pop-up! Matsuo Genghis Khan Cushion Blanket". X's representative said, "I really wanted to make some goods," and the product has been met with comments such as "I want this" and "There are a lot of people who want it."

3. Genghis Khan's Jin-kun: "I'm graduating from rum!"

I'm finally going to start elementary school this spring! I'm graduating from elementary school! ξ(*･ω･*)3

#AprilFools

Quoted from @jingisu_jin's post

Jingisukan's Jin appeared excitedly wearing a school bag and shouting, "I'm graduating from mutton!" Comments like "Go become a fine mutton!" and "The school bag suits you" were posted, lightening up the timeline.

4. Goryokaku Tower "It seems like there are more Goryokaku Towers now..."

When I came to work, I noticed that #GoryokakuTower had been added...

#AprilFools

Quoted from @tower_hanbai's post

A surreal photo of Goryokaku Tower, a landmark of Hakodate, multiplying. Various comments were received, such as "So cool..." and "If all this stuff was growing, they'd get in each other's way, lol."

5. Nikka Whisky "Good morning Yoichi!"

On April 1st

\Good morning Yoichi!/

Today is #AprilFoolsDay! Things are a bit noisy around the town, but I'm going to continue operating as usual!

Quoted from @nikka_jp's post

It's not April Fool's Day, it's "Yoichi Day"! The bearded man "KING of BLENDERS" designed on the label of Nikka Whisky. Although he says "I'm operating normally," he actually has a April Fool's joke in mind, such as the color of his costume and the position of his body being reversed.

Actually, I'm eating a thick chikuwa!

6. String Cheese "Extremely Long String Cheese"

39cm long! It's finally here!

[Extremely long string cheese] We are pleased to announce that it has been released!

Please give it a try 👐 If you want it 🔁 #TooLongStretchyCheese #AprilFools

Quoted from @sakeruofficial's post

The "Extra-Long String Cheese" from Snow Brand Hokkaido 100 has been announced. It has received an unexpected response, with comments such as "This is irresistible for cheese lovers" and "Please make it happen." The length of the 39 (cut) cm is a great example of the intricacy of the design.

April Fool's Day is a busy day with companies coming up with their own jokes

This year too, corporate accounts have entertained the internet with various announcements of April Fool's jokes, from things that will make you chuckle to products that will make you think, "I really want this!" This day was filled with the sense of the people behind it, and I'm already looking forward to seeing what kind of laughs they will bring us next year!
