Handmade in Osaka by Midori Seika, these sugar jellies are han-namagashi, traditional semi-moist Japanese sweets.
Made from agar and sugar, each one is shaped by hand to reflect Japan’s seasons. A small treat to share over a cup of tea.

Sheep
2027 is the Year of the Sheep in the Japanese zodiac. This soft, charming sheep is a gentle way to welcome the new year. Enjoy it yourself, or give it as a New Year greeting.

Sunrise over Mt Fuji
In Japan, people watch the first sunrise of the year to welcome the new year. Seeing it rise over Mt Fuji is thought to bring especially good luck. This sugar jelly captures that moment of fresh beginnings.

Daruma
The daruma doll is based on Bodhidharma. When it's knocked over, it always stands back up, making it a symbol of never giving up. This cheerful sugar jelly carries a wish for your dreams to come true in the year ahead.

Uguisu
The uguisu (Japanese bush warbler) is known as the bird that announces spring. Its clear song is one of the first signs of the new season. This little sugar jelly brings that early-spring feeling to your table.

Plum Blossom
Plum blossom flowers in the cold of late winter. It's one of the first flowers of the year in Japan, and a symbol of strength and new beginnings. This delicate sugar jelly brings its quiet beauty to the New Year.

Geishun – Seasonal Tidings Set
Geishun (迎春) means "welcoming spring", a traditional New Year greeting in Japan.
This set brings together New Year designs, such as the 2027 sheep, sunrise over Mt Fuji, daruma, uguisu and plum blossom. Each one carries a wish for the year ahead.

ABOUT THE MAKER

Midori Seika | みどり製菓 | Osaka City, Japan

In Osaka, Midori Seika has been making han-namagashi, traditional semi-moist Japanese sweets, since 1959.

Their craft began with training under a master of Kyoto confectionery, and has followed that single path ever since.
Every sweet is made by hand. Machines would be faster, but they choose handwork for the warmth it brings.
Each piece is inspired by Japan’s seasons and seasonal festivals, made to bring a little joy to whoever sees it, with the hope of creating sweets that will be passed on to future generations.
