Kashigata
January 15th, 2010
I’m quite in love with these vintage Japanese kashigata sweet molds. They’re made of cherry wood and were used to make dried confectioneries, but would also look rather fantastic if you could hang them on the wall somehow. Vintage From Japan sells them in many different shapes.

These are beautiful! I wonder if you'd still be able to use them as molds today. Although I'm not sure I'd want risk to ruin them trying :)

These are fantastic! I'd have never thought to hang them on the wall, but the more I think about it the more I that that would be perfect.

I work for a Japanese company and I would love to purchase a mold and actually put it to use…. would anyone know of a sweet cake recipe to use for this?

I have 3 kashigata molds hanging on my kitchen wall, each with 4 kashi shapes. I experimented baking a shortbread-type cookie in them last night. The dough was not quite moist enough to work well in the molds. But they came out very pretty. Kanji writing and Japanese symbols. More experimentation to come…
