I Want to Give Gifts from the Imperial Household Agency's Recommended Treats＊

During the wedding season, we receive many gifts, whether it be for wedding congratulations or housewarming.

Of course, it's rude to just receive gifts without giving anything in return, so we will need to reciprocate each time. However, choosing the right gift can be challenging as it requires good taste.

Therefore, here's a suggestion!

If you're unsure about what to present, how about choosing a "product recommended by the Imperial Household Agency"?♡

Items catering to royalty feel like the most polite gift option and are likely to be considered elegant.

It conveys a sense of gratitude and is sure to please the recipient as well!♡

Let's introduce some treats from the Imperial Household Agency that we can easily purchase.

Recommended Store from the Imperial Household Agency 1: Murakami Kaishindo

Founded in the 7th year of the Meiji era, "Murakami Kaishindo" is a famous Western confectionery store that supplies to the Imperial Household Agency and is well-known among the elite.

It is also a French restaurant, but its dinner service is by reservation only. You can't book a table without a referral, so only a select few can dine there. (Lunch can be enjoyed without a referral!)

Murakami Kaishindo is famous for its cookies.

Their cookies are known to be luxurious, priced at 10,000 yen per box, hence they are called "10,000 yen cookies"!

Each cookie is handmade, and they are always fully booked with reservations, often requiring a wait of about three months.

The wrapping and boxes are retro and cute, making it an incredibly delightful gift.

Recommended Store from the Imperial Household Agency 2: Toraya

The well-known yokan shop "Toraya" is also recommended by the Imperial Household Agency.

According to one theory, Toraya has been around since the Nara period and has been delivering sweets to the imperial family since that time.

Isn't that a bit too historical?

Therefore, sending Toraya sweets to older generations is very well-received and exudes a sense of propriety.

The monaka with red and white cherry blossoms is also a good omen ♩
