nikome

"Just one more, one more… I want to deliver sweets that you naturally reach for." nikome is a rice flour sweets brand that started from that thought. Just as the saying "food is life" — the wish that what we eat daily should be something we can eat with peace of mind — is embedded in the sweets making.

The operating company Rabiro Inc. handles sweets making leveraging body-friendly ingredients — pesticide-free fruits and vegetables, domestic rice flour, sugarcane sugar. Based on recipes completed through repeated trials, sweets are baked one by one carefully at the Sunamachi Ginza workshop — delivered through the shopping street storefront and online shop.

As interest in rice flour and gluten-free grew entering the 2020s, nikome designed the brand on the premise of "not using wheat flour." While devising blends that leverage rice flour's chewy texture and bring out ingredient flavors — the shop has aimed for snacks the whole family can enjoy.

After the online shop opened, in addition to Sunamachi Ginza neighbors, orders from distant residents started coming in — and voices like "I can now share the same sweets with family members who have allergies" and "guilt-free reward sweets" arrive. Going forward, the shop wants to continue delivering gentle sweets to those who truly need them.

A gluten-free rice flour sweets specialty shop

nikome's sweets use no wheat flour at all, only domestic rice flour. So those with wheat allergies or those wanting to reduce gluten can enjoy with peace of mind. While finely adjusting blends and baking, the shop pursues a balance of fluffy texture and moistness.

Pesticide-free fruits and vegetables x sugarcane sugar

All fruits and vegetables used in the sweets are carefully selected pesticide-free items. Combined with sugarcane sugar, characterized by deep, refined flavor — the sweets finish with gentle sweetness that leverages ingredient flavors. Because the blend is simple, quality is committed to ingredient by ingredient.

No unnecessary additives at all

nikome's sweets use no unnecessary additives like preservatives or colorings at all. Cherishing being a snack you can eat safely in daily life — the shop pursues sweets making where you can feel the original deliciousness of ingredients and the warmth unique to handmade goods.
