Hmmm, for some reason I don’t find bread made to look like a hamster very appealing. Smiley Happy

Oh, they are cute! And I would eat them, BUT I am gluten free, so no.

The Japanese do this "food as cute little furry creature" thing all the time. I find it very child-like. A lot of modern  Japanese pop culture is based on the child-like, from clothes to accessories to questionable reading material, anime and role-playing romance, shall we say. I find it, in the larger sense as a part of their culture, extremely creepy.

Not really bread ... figurines. http://www.aflowerinjapan.com/get/hamuco-hamsters/  "Nakano Yoshi-ho creates the base for the sculptures from white resin. After the resin figures are dry she will use an airbrush technique to paint the base color of the skin or pattern and a tiny paintbrush to paint the eyes and nose."
