What is Nerikiri? The Secret of Its History and Beauty

For those planning a trip to Japan, there is a special culture we would love you to experience. It's the world of creating "Nerikiri," Japan's traditional beautiful art form. "Nerikiri" is a Japanese confection that beautifully expresses the changing seasons and natural scenery through delicate colors and shapes.


More than just a sweet, it is "edible art" that can be enjoyed visually, embodying Japan's aesthetic sense. Each piece expresses seasonal scenes and the beauty of nature in Japan, truly resembling works of art.


Five Senses Experience

Japanese culture is deeply rooted in "aesthetic sense" that sharpens the five senses. The Nerikiri-making experience allows you to feel Japan's traditional beauty and delicacy through sight, touch, taste, and smell.


Cultural Understanding

The process of creating traditional Japanese wagashi with your own hands connects you to Japan's aesthetic sense, craftsmanship, and spirit of hospitality. It's not just sweet-making, but touching art imbued with Japan's heart.
