DESIGN NAME: Dorayaki

INSPIRATION: A design inspired by the traditional Japanese outer wall "stone wall" is used throughout. Furthermore, since fermented ingredients such as sake are used, the image of expansion is also visually expressed. It expresses Japanese tradition and a sense of luxury.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Package design for "Dorayaki", a japanese traditional sweet made by the 120-year-old Eguchi Dango. These sweets are made with fermented ingredients from Settaya, a brewing town that has been in existence for over 300 years in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, Japan.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This package is made of recyclable plastic.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: 2022, project commissioned by Eguchi Dango Co.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Packaging Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The difficulty lies in the fact that this package is printed on a film that wraps directly around the food product. Since printing and food wrapping are two separate processes, it was also necessary to understand the entire work process.
However, we were able to solve this problem by finding a printing company that also specializes in packaging.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Width 110mm × Height 140mm × Depth 25mm
TAGS: Package,Sweets
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The product has tradition and history, both in terms of ingredients and producers. However, consumers had grown tired of the same old design, and we needed to express newness in addition to tradition and luxury.
So, in order to create the best balance between Japanese design and casualness, the colors and placement of the package had to be verified many times.
CHALLENGE: The printing on the package was processed to reduce the gloss to give it a luxurious feel when held in the hand.
Also, because the colors are too bright, they lose their Japanese image, we printed the colors many times to bring them closer to traditional Japanese colors.
