Materials That Meet Japan's Food Sanitation Act Standards
Many simplified kits commonly sold on the market cannot be used as tableware after repair.
With this kit, every material and repair technique used throughout the process is consistent with methods that allow safe use as tableware.
Because the materials used comply with the positive list under Japan's Food Sanitation Act, you can continue to use the repaired piece safely as tableware even after the law's revision in June 2025.
Original Mini Drawstring Pouch
This mini pouch is designed to hold materials like synthetic adhesive and resin, keeping them contained in case of leaks.

FAQ
Is this kit suitable for beginners?
Yes. The kit includes a guidebook that walks you through the kintsugi process step by step, so even first-timers can work with confidence.
Can a repaired piece be used for food and drink?
Yes. All the synthetic resin and putty used in the process comply with the Positive List under Japan's Food Sanitation Act.
This kit does not contain synthetic urushi or cashew-based lacquer, which were banned for use on tableware following the 2026 revision of the Food Sanitation Act.
Should I choose the natural urushi kit or the simplified kintsugi kit?
The simplified kintsugi kit can be recommended to anyone as a beginner-friendly way to experience kintsugi.
For those who want to enjoy kintsugi as a hobby, or who are looking for a more refined finish, the natural urushi kit is recommended.
Is the gold powder used in the kit real gold?
This kit uses brass powder rather than gold powder. It produces a golden luster that rivals real gold.
Because gold powder is expensive, brass powder is commonly used in simplified kintsugi kits designed for beginners.
If you would like to use real gold powder, please consider our traditional kintsugi kit, which uses urushi lacquer.
