Japanese edible art kits
The 1,000-year Japanese ritual of edible art — now in your hands. Experience nerikiri-making with a kit from a 300-year-old wagashi shop once honored to serve the Emperor.
Daitokuya Chokyu · Est. 1716
Among Japan's proudest culinary traditions is wagashi—delicate, handcrafted sweets often described as edible art. At the pinnacle of this tradition is nerikiri, a refined and elegant confection crafted from just two simple ingredients: white bean paste and soft mochi dough (gyuhi).
Designed for touch, attention, and the small pleasure of making something beautiful together.
Crafted with Daitokuya Chokyu, est. 1716, using the quiet discipline of Japanese confectionery.
100% plant-based, gluten-free, naturally colored, and made for many kinds of tables.
Ages 2+, a 30-minute experience, and a tidy ritual that ends in something you can taste.
Each kit arrives measured, colored, and ready for calm hands.
No prep needed. Just open the box and set your table.
Sculpt like an artist with soft, naturally colored nerikiri dough.
Pour tea, pause, and taste the shape you made by hand.
From small hands at the kitchen table to adult rituals worth dressing up for.
Every box includes ready-to-shape nerikiri, tools, guide cards, and a moment worth keeping.
