About Toridori.

Toridoriについて

Toridori is a tea brand that introduces you to the fascinating world of Japanese tea. We took our name "Toridori" from an old Japanese term "toridori-nari (とりどりなり)" — "many different things" — to persue various faces of Japanese tea and to spread its charms in Belgium.

The story of Toridori started in 2022, when Erina encountered three people in Japan and in Belgium: her old home and new home.

TORIDORI SEASONAL LETTER 08.

Saint Nicholas Day, or Sinterklaasfeest in Belgium

Toridoriの季節便り

ベルギーの聖ニコラウスの日


"Sinterklaas kapoentje, leg wat in mijn schoentje..."

You already know what I am writing about this time, I suppose?

Our seasonal letter this time is featuring, probably the most important festival for Belgian kids this time: Saint Nicolas Day (Sinterklaasfeest in Dutch).

One present on December 6th from Sinterklaas and another on December 24th (Santa Claus). It's a secret between you and me that I actually felt jealous for Belgian kids! 

Sweet Spanish mandarins, and carots in the shoes for his white horse. Soon he will come to the houses of good kids to place nice presents in their shoes.

For me as an already grown up, this day is a fun day to buy tasty speculoos and chocolate Sinterklaas & Zwarte Piet.

During this season, these Sinterklaas sweets decorate every candy shops, patisseries, chorolatiers, and supermarkets in the town. Belgium is a land of tasty cookies and chocolates. Choosing your favorite Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet is another fun thing to enjoy Belgian Sinterklaasfeest.
