The "Hinaori" features a domyojikan (a type of jelly confection) adorned with "Sakura of Sakon" and "Tachibana of Ukon," presented in a beautifully decorated bento box. The box itself is strikingly decorated with a charming illustration of the imperial couple. The small yokan (sweet bean jelly) "Hiina" comes in a special Hinamatsuri package, adorably depicting the Emperor, Empress, three court ladies, and the cherry and orange trees.

The "Hina Ikago" is a delightful item resembling stacked lacquered boxes, filled with small, charming sweets. You can choose to stack one to five tiers, and options include a set of three varieties—Domyoji-made "Hina Temari," Nerikiri-made "Senju," and Mochi-made "Momo no Sato"—or individual sweets such as the Jyōyo-made "Egao Manju" and the melt-in-your-mouth dry sweets made with Sanbon-an sugar, "Fukurasuzume."

Additionally, there's "Sakuramochi," its cherry leaf aroma heralding spring's arrival, and the "Hina Dai," featuring small yokan "Yoru no Ume" and "Omokage" wrapped in bamboo leaves and presented on a stand, perfect as a gift. Don't miss the seasonal yokan "Hinaginu," which expresses the elegant attire of the dolls in five colors.

As adults, we may no longer display the Hina dolls, but among the five seasonal festivals, Hinamatsuri, where girls take center stage, is always a special occasion. While enjoying these endearing Hinamatsuri sweets, let us reaffirm the importance of Japan's traditional customs.
