Sweet Gifts That Make You Happy to Receive and Give♡
Don't you feel that knowing stylish and delicious sweets somehow enriches your life?
When choosing a gift, selecting something mass-produced that can be bought at any department store or supermarket across the country lacks that special feeling and is rather unexciting. (Although such items can be quite useful in some cases!)
I want to broaden our worlds by choosing something that few people know about, or something seasonal, and hear comments like "I've been curious about this!" or "Wow, I didn't know such things existed!" and get compliments like "This is delicious!" and "I really like this!" ♡
In this article, I will introduce a shop called "HIYORI," which specializes in wasanbon (Japanese sugar candy) ♩
A Wonderful Wasanbon Shop in Shikoku*
"HIYORI" is a wasanbon brand born in Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture in Shikoku.
With the concept of "Wasanbon for Special Days," it features an appearance that makes you exclaim "So cute! ♡" at first sight, perfect for celebrations.
They come in flower shapes and pastel colors. Aren't they just adorable?
Each shape and design is interesting as they create wooden molds one by one in their workshop.
There are designs like t-shirt shapes and guitar shapes.
They also offer custom orders to fulfill requests like "I want it made in this shape!" Many people seem to use them as novelty items for brands or small gifts for events♡
They would also make a wonderful gift for weddings♡
Birthstone Wasanbon is Just Too Beautiful♡
Another recommendation is the wasanbon in birthstone colors.
The appearance inspired by birthstones like amethyst and emerald, resembling "real gems," is simply too cute*
You can choose from two colors (the birthstone colors of the bride and groom), with a set priced at 302 yen.

☑︎ Cute and budget-friendly
☑︎ Traditional Japanese, and lovely
☑︎ Delicious because it's wasanbon
☑︎ Can showcase individuality
I think it's the perfect tiny gift that hits all four marks! ♡
I want to try making Original Wasanbon*
You can order wooden molds to create wasanbon in your desired shape starting from 30,000 yen.
It's possible to create from scratch with initials, family crests, logos, or your favorite shapes♡
It's truly wonderful, and I wholeheartedly recommend it* Just thinking about having candy with your own logo as a wedding favor or small gift makes me happy♩
