Gold has long symbolized prosperity and good fortune, making it a meaningful accent for special occasions. In Japan, gold-adorned tea is traditionally enjoyed on New Year’s Day, a moment to reflect on the past year and welcome happiness and prosperity for the future. Today, edible gold is also enjoyed on many celebratory occasions, from festive gatherings and gifting moments to weddings, anniversaries, and elegant hospitality.

For best enjoyment, sprinkle the edible gold glitter flakes over each cup after brewing the tea or preparing matcha/hojicha. As the gold gently floats on the surface, its delicate shimmer enhances the ritual, creating a calm yet celebratory moment to appreciate both beauty and flavor.
