2021.04.05

At “Ousama no Oyatsu,” which handles cookies with messages and gift confectionery, “Edo Kiriko Ame,” which contains the beautiful patterns of Edo Kiriko in stick candy, is currently on sale. Naru 5-piece set is now on sale.

Traditional crafts that originated in the Edo period are transformed into edible "Ame"

Edo Kiriko is characterized by delicately cutting familiar Japanese patterns such as Yarai, chrysanthemum, and hemp leaf patterns that can be seen in kimono.
This beautiful traditional Japanese craft is expressed by “candy”.
Each candy is in a Japanese paper bag. A purple round string is also attached, and you can give it as a gift as it is. How about as a small gift for the spring greeting season or Tokyo souvenirs?

The package mount explains the characteristics of Edo Kiriko in [Japanese / English], so it is also recommended as a gift for foreigners.

There are 5 patterns in the lineup. Soda flavor named after soda glass

There are 5 types of “Edo Kiriko candy” designs. You can choose from the patterns of “Tama checkered”, “Hemp leaf”, “Rice tie”, “Yarai”, and “Hanasho” of the Edo Kiriko store “Hanasho” founded in 1946.

Hanasho’s Edo Kiriko uses soda glass, a natural glass that does not contain lead, so “Edo Kiriko Ame” is also finished in a soda flavor after soda glass.
