琥珀糖 SORA AI / 18:00 [Scheduled to Ship on April 23]

This is Osekkai’s original kohakutou, developed through a collaboration between food designer Ai Horikawa and Kyoto confectioner Wataru Kanaya (Kanaya Wataru).

SORA AI / Sky sign: The state of the sky. Sky conditions. The course of events.

We expressed the changing sky at different times of day using “kohakuto,” a traditional Japanese confection made from sugar and agar.

5:00: Dawn, the sky gently lightening
9:00: Early morning, soft clouds floating in a clear blue sky
18:00: Dusk—watching the sun sink and slowly melt into the darkness
23:00: At night, stars twinkle in a sky spanned by the Milky Way (or a deep indigo sky)

The beautiful hues that vary by product are extracted from natural ingredients without using artificial coloring. Of course, each one also has its own distinct flavor.

Crisp on the outside and as soft as agar jelly on the inside, this treat offers a delightful contrast in textures.

A simple yet somehow warm package evokes the scene of gazing up at the sky from indoors through a window.

With 4 different room types and sky colors, collecting them is fun too.
Also recommended as a gift for someone special.

Notes
Ambrosial candy is a traditional Japanese sweet known for its texture: crisp on the outside and jiggly on the inside.
By making the surrounding crystalline part as thin as possible, it becomes lighter with a more delicate mouthfeel.
Therefore, it is extremely fragile, and although we will implement the best possible measures before sending it to you,Due to the nature of the product, it may inevitably crack during the delivery process.

We hope you can enjoy that very ephemerality itself as one of the charms of amber sugar.
