To celebrate Australian culture, Simply Native collaborated with a Japanese candy artisan to create 'Kumi-ame', a handcrafted candy that reflects our deep appreciation for both Australian and Japanese traditions.
At the heart of this creation is a tribute to Australia’s natural beauty and the spirit of kindness that we cherish in this country.
We carefully selected five iconic Australian designs and worked closely with a skilled Japanese artisan to bring them to life in beautifully crafted, flavourful candies. Each piece is a fusion of artistry and taste, capturing the essence of both cultures in a delightful, edible form.
Australian Icon & Flavour
Cockatoo - Peach
Coming from Japan, we were struck by the variety of birds. This design reflects the harmonious mix of nature and city life here in Sydney. Cockatoo is also Yuki, the store manager's, favourite bird.
Aboriginal Art - Grape
The presence of the indigenous people is integral to Australia. This design features the sun, a vital natural element for the Aboriginal people, and us as well.
Koala - Matcha & Milk
When you think of Australia, the koala is the first animal that comes to mind. The green border, inspired by bamboo leaves, is a popular matcha flavour.
Latte art - Coffee
Australia celebrates a rich café culture. Friendly conversations and quality time with someone we love over a latte.
Diversity - Yuzu
Australia is known for its diverse population and inclusive spirit. The message "No worries" reflects this national characteristic. The vibrant colours symbolise diversity.
