Kokoro Care’s 2025 Advent Calendars: Hitotoki (ひととき)
Cherish The Moments This Holiday Season
As snow starts to gently fall over the quiet winter landscape and our thoughts turn to loved ones far away, we want to help you and your loved ones celebrate the cherished moments of the holiday season.
Centered around the Japanese word of “hitotoki”, meaning a moment in time or a fleeting experience, this year's Kokoro Care Advent Calendars are the perfect way to embrace the nostalgic sense of childlike wonder and create new cherished memories that will last for years to come.
With each box you open, you and your loved ones will be immersed in the daily joy of discovering new cherished items. Our carefully curated calendars are more than just a festive countdown; they’re a unique way to experience the wonders of Japan.
Enjoy the Daily Delight of Locally Made Artisanal Products
Kokoro Care’s Advent Calendars feature a wide array of locally sourced artisanal treats. Ranging from sweet to savory and everything in between, we’ve curated a selection of Japan's best sweets, snacks, beverages, soups, sauces, and seasonings to suit every taste (and a couple of surprise non-food items as well!). Working in close collaboration with small businesses and family-owned and operated companies, our team has thoughtfully selected unique items that highlight local flavors and ingredients from all across Japan.
Every selection is accompanied by a thoughtfully written English label that lets you know what the product is, what makes it special, and where in Japan it comes from. A list of ingredients, dietary information, and simple instructions when needed make every product easy to enjoy, no matter your skill level or dietary preference.
