We make a range of cakes, biscuits, desserts and sweet things influenced by Japanese cuisine and ingredients.
We put a lot of love and attention into the making of our foods. We use good quality ingredients and like to think that our foods are full of goodness. We do recommend that our foods are eaten as part of a balanced diet.
Green Tea & Almond Biscuits

The green colour of these biscuits is completely natural. It comes from powdered green tea. Medical research increasingly reports health benefits from green tea. These are thought to be associated with the naturally occuring anti-oxidants found in the tea leaves. Now you can eat the tea as well as drink it! These biscuits are sweet tasting with just a hint of tea.
Our biscuits have no artifical ingredients.
Available in 100g (min. net) packs from our stall at Ramsbottom Farmer's Market or by order.
Crystallised Ginger Biscuits

The Japanese usually use ginger with savoury dishes. But for these biscuits we've crystallised our own ginger to get a sweet but hot taste. Ginger has many reported health benefits. The NHS website(1) reports that crystallised ginger works for some people in treating travel sickness...just the reason to keep a pack of our Cyrstallised Ginger Biscuits in the car!

Our biscuits have no artifical ingredients.

When we're not chopping our hand crystallised ginger through our biscuits we're dipping it in chocolate. We use chocolate with a minimum 65% cocoa content to get a rich taste that complements the heat of the ginger.
We crystallise our own ginger using only 100% natural ingredients.
Available in 100g (min. net) packs from our stall at Ramsbottom Farmer's Market or by order.

We make a range of plump, moist, muffins with a Japanese twist. Our range includes:
- Green Tea & White Chocolate. The creamy richness of the white chocolate works well with the green tea;
- Yuzu. This is a Japanese citrus fruit with a unique taste somewhere between an orange and a lemon. A very mellow fruity taste which isn't too sharp;
- Crystallised Ginger.
Available from our stall at Ramsbottom Farmer's Market or by order.
Assorted Doroyaki (Japanese Pancakes)
We make a range of pancakes which we sandwich around our own special fillings. Our range includes:
- Sweet Adzuki Bean Paste & Custard Cream. Many Japanese sweets use sweetened beans. High in fibre, low in fat, the adzuki bean is also an excellent source of iron and other minerals.
- Custard Cream. Our handmade custard cream works well on its own with the pancake. Always a popular seller at the Farmer's Market.
Available from our stall at Ramsbottom Farmer's Market or by order.
Assorted Nut & Seed Chews

We mix a range of roasted nuts and seeds and give things an Oriental flavour by adding either:
- Soya Bean. Many health benefits have been reported for soya products. Low in saturated fat yet high in protein, soyabeans contain significant amounts of "nature's relaxant" magnesium and essential omega-3 fatty acids. Not every one is a big Tofu fan though! Our chew is a sweet way to get some soya into your diet; or
- Sesame. As well as adding their unique nutty taste, sesame seeds are a good source of minerals such as manganese, copper, calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B1, zinc and dietary fiber. Sesame seeds contain two unique "lignan" fibres i.e. sesamin and sesamolin. Lignans have been shown to have a cholesterol-lowering effect; or
- Wolfberry. Also known as Goji berry ("kuko no mi" in Japanese) this berry is getting a reputation as a "superfruit" due to its nutrient and anti-oxidant content. We add Cranberries to enhance the flavour and goodness.
Available from our stall at Ramsbottom Farmer's Market or by order.
