Misaky.Tokyo Makes All-Natural, Vegan & Modern Japanese Sweets

— September 4, 2020 — Lifestyle
Misaky. Tokyo is introducing a modern take on Japanese sweets (also known as "wagashi," which is traditionally served at tea ceremonies) with its vegan, gluten-free and all-natural handmade confections. The Crystal Treats are made from seaweed, which is said to give them a crispy outer shell and a chewy interior.

The treats are designed to be highly shareable, memorable and enjoyable to a wide range of consumers, regardless of their dietary preferences. Fittingly, the Crystal Treats are packaged in an elegant box that presents the products like pieces of jewelry. To round out the experience, the individual Crystal Treats are available in varieties like matcha Jade, Amethyst and Ruby with passion fruit and dragon fruit, and others that explore an array of unique flavors and ingredients from around the world.
