Baymax fans should opt for this chawan bowl (¥1,430), which can be used for drinking tea or as a rice bowl. If you’re looking to chow down on some chazuke (cooked rice with green tea poured over it) in style, you’ll also find a set of matching Baymax chopsticks (¥2,530).

This monaka wafer (¥540) shaped like Flounder from ‘The Little Mermaid’ is a great addition to your teatime. The wafer is filled with rice, nori seaweed, roasted pieces of mochi, salmon flakes and more. When you pour hot water over it in your bowl, the wafer gets soft and the filling mixes with your chazuke rice.

To go along with the tea set, Disney has also released a range of green tea in collaboration with Kanbayashi Shunsho, a Kyoto tea store established in 1560 in the famous tea region of Uji. You can get bags of hojicha (roasted green tea; ¥1,296) or sencha (green leaf tea; ¥1,512), which come in a retro-looking box featuring Mickey.

All the products are available at Disney stores across Japan, including the Disney Flagship Tokyo store and online.
