Sweets

Japanese sweets are a gentle kind of treat: often less sugary than Western sweets, and full of interesting textures and natural flavours such as yuzu, sesame and persimmon. Our range brings together juicy fruit gummies, candied citrus peel, silky sesame puddings and crisp senbei, all sourced from Japan and perfect with a cup of green tea.

Traditional Japanese confectionery

Our black and white sesame puddings are a lovely place to start. Made with soy milk and finished with a dusting of kinako, or roasted soybean flour, they’re smooth and creamy with a deep, nutty sweetness. Enjoy one straight from the pot as a light, elegant dessert.

Candied yuzu peel keeps the floral fragrance and gentle tartness of the fresh fruit, and candied iyokan peel brings the sweet, juicy flavour of iyokan, another Japanese citrus. Nibble them on their own, or chop them into brownies, Christmas cake and ice cream.

Shimane dried Saijo persimmon, known in Japan as hoshigaki, is dried slowly until it turns dense, chewy and wonderfully honeyed. For something truly unusual, try yubeshi: a whole yuzu filled with a rich, savoury-sweet miso mixture and slowly dried until it can be sliced thinly and served with green tea or sake.

Japanese candy and gummies

If you’re after Japanese candy, our yuzu and grape gummies are soft, bouncy and bursting with fruit flavour, and both are gluten free. Daikon radish candy might sound surprising, but these individually wrapped hard sweets are a gentle, curious treat that’s fun to share.

Most of our Japanese sweets cost under £10, so they make easy Japanese stocking fillers and thoughtful additions to a hamper.

Sweet senbei and rice crackers

Senbei are Japanese rice crackers, and whilst many are savoury, our kinako senbei – dusted with sweet roasted soybean flour – and our sweet and spicy senbei sit happily on the sweeter side. Bubu arare goshiki, tiny five-colour rice puffs, add a pretty crunch scattered over desserts, rice and soups.

For something saltier, try our Japanese savoury snacks, and for the perfect pairing, explore our Japanese tea.

Frequently asked questions

Usually less so than Western sweets. Japanese confectionery often balances sweetness with other flavours, such as the gentle bitterness of citrus peel or the nuttiness of roasted sesame, and texture is just as important as taste.

Kinako is roasted soybean flour. It has a warm, nutty flavour and is often dusted over Japanese sweets, puddings and rice crackers.

Some do. Our sesame puddings contain sesame and soy, and senbei are often made with soy sauce. Allergen information varies by product, so check each product page before buying for someone with an allergy.

Senbei and green tea are a classic pairing, as the toasted rice complements the fresh, grassy flavour of the tea. Candied yuzu peel and sesame pudding are also lovely with a cup of hojicha or sencha.

Yubeshi is a traditional Japanese delicacy made by filling a hollowed-out yuzu with a sweet and savoury miso mixture, then drying it slowly. It’s sliced thinly and enjoyed with green tea or sake.

Absolutely! They’re small, colourful and a little bit different, so they make fantastic stocking fillers and hamper treats. Pair a few with a pouch of green tea for a gift that’s easy to enjoy.

Keep sweets and rice crackers sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, as humidity softens crisp snacks quickly. Check the label of each product for specific storage advice.
