De Ankodoki Crustulum Fabarum Dulce

Hoc involucrum creatum est pro yokan serie a vetere atque illustri Iaponico conditore pastae fabarum inducta. Dum traditionalem yokan dignitatem servat, ab usitato gravi involucri genere recedit. Forma nostalgica simul ac libera calorem et facilitatem affert, sapori organico et simplici dulciorum perfecte congruens. Etiam ab iis grata accepta qui wagashi ignorant, magnopere laudata est et multa praemia tam in Iaponia quam apud externos reportavit.

Merita, sodales gregis et singula technica a designatore praebita.

Proprietates Singulares: While preserving the authentic value of traditional yokan, this design redefines the conventional image of heavy packaging. By incorporating hand-drawn ingredient illustrations and vivid visuals, it creates a friendly, casual impression that evokes both nostalgia and warmth. The additive-free, naturally colored taste is conveyed through an organic expression, appealing even to audiences unfamiliar with wagashi.
Dimensiones et Involucrum: Width 30 mm x Depth 18 mm x Height 82 mm
Notulae: Casual style, watercolor illustration, organic concept, reinterpretation of tradition, Japanese sweets, modern wagashi, natural texture, cheerful experience
Technologia Productionis: Each individual package uses coated cardboard designed to withstand contact with liquid yokan during production. For the gift box, a refined, subdued color palette was selected to convey dignity as a present. While maintaining an elegant atmosphere, the vivid visual impact revealed upon opening enriches the experience, transforming the moment of enjoying traditional Japanese sweets into a special, delightful occasion.
Provocatio Designandi: The project initially focused on ohagi, a fresh confection of bean paste and glutinous rice. However, issues of short shelf life and waste posed significant risks. Leveraging expertise in yokan, we proposed shifting from a five-piece to a ten-piece concept. With yokan’s year-long shelf life, the plan evolved into developing eight varieties. Though production volume and time demands were challenging, the result was a vibrant and distinctive lineup.
Investigatio: We purchased yokan from long-established to newly opened confectioners, analyzing packaging design, its relation to taste, and structural details. Inspiration was also drawn from other wagashi and even Western sweets. The study revealed the need to address both individual enjoyment and gift-giving. Thus, adjustments such as edge treatments of illustrations when boxed and fine refinements were applied to elevate overall quality.
Inspiratio: This project originated when a long-established bean paste manufacturer, primarily engaged in OEM production, launched its own brand. Entering the BtoC market represented a significant challenge, particularly in contemporary Japan where Western confectionery is more favored. The key issue was how to effectively reach younger generations less familiar with traditional Japanese sweets.
Duratio Operis: This private label store opened on May 30, 2024.
Cursus Operationis: In social gatherings, the assortment of yokan varieties encourages lively communication, as guests enjoy choosing and sharing different flavors together. Since every type is made without additives, they can be enjoyed safely and with peace of mind by children and families alike.
