Kujukushima Sempei has been a well-known and popular confectionery in Nagasaki since its creation in 1951. Kujukushima Sempei, with its hexagonal shape resembling the shell of a lucky turtle, has been used for many years for celebrations, seasonal greetings and other important milestones. The Kujukushima Senpei is a good luck charm and is now available in two limited edition designs of the Chinese zodiac ‘Snake’ and ‘New Year’ for 2025 to celebrate the New Year.
This makes a great New Year’s gift, or a souvenir to bring home from Nagasaki or Sasebo. Only available at this time of year and in limited quantities, so please take advantage of this opportunity to purchase one.
Ringake’ is synonymous with Kujukushima Senpei, which is printed by hand by craftsmen.
For the New Year 2025, two limited edition patterns are available: a zodiac illustration and a ‘2025 New Year’ pattern. The Kujuukushima zodiac sign senpei is a proudly produced product that is perfect for wishing prosperity and happiness in the New Year.
Eye-catching packaging with a simple but bold depiction of the Chinese zodiac sign for 2025, the Snake. The muted red and gold colour scheme is a design that can be given to any recipient.
We hope that this product, along with its delicious taste, will become a topic of conversation during New Year greetings and gatherings with family and loved ones…
