Edible Cups
Kokko Oblate Cups X 100 offer a clean and efficient way to serve, portion or present delicate ingredients in modernist and Japanese cooking. Made from ultra-thin, tasteless starch paper, these edible cups dissolve quickly in the mouth or in liquid without altering flavour or texture. Commonly used in Japanese cuisine for wrapping powdered supplements or dry fillings, they’re also popular with chefs exploring creative plating techniques in fine dining and modernist kitchens.
Each cup provides a uniform and hygienic container for powders, purées, jellies or granules, helping you keep the presentation clean while enabling controlled release on the plate or in the mouth. Whether you're wrapping single-serve portions of matcha powder, delivering bursts of seasoning, or experimenting with liquid-centred dishes, Kokko Oblate Cups are a handy, mess-free option.

What are oblate cups used for in Japanese cuisine?
In Japan, oblate cups are commonly used to wrap powdered medicine or supplements for easy swallowing. In modern cooking, chefs now use them to contain delicate or messy ingredients without affecting taste.
Can these be used for liquids?
They can hold small amounts of gelled or semi-liquid contents, but they’re not suited for runny liquids unless contained within a firmer centre like a gel or purée.
