Nisshodo Nikko Rusks Gift Box
"Tradition is a continuous series of innovations." This spirit is infused into a single rusk born from a Japanese confectionery shop. Produced by Nisshodo, a Japanese confectionery shop established in 1937 and a purveyor to Nikko Toshogu Shrine. Utilizing long-cultivated techniques of wagashi (Japanese sweets) making, artisans carefully bake each piece of buttery dough. The unexpected nature of a Western-style sweet made by a traditional Japanese confectionery maker has garnered much attention, with cumulative sales exceeding 1 million pieces. In 2012, it won the Tochigi Design Award, spreading its name nationwide. With a light, crispy texture and an elegant buttery aroma, this box is the perfect souvenir for visiting Nikko.
