These Cookie Cutters Combine Into the 47 Prefectures of Japan

As terrible as it sounds for a guy nearing his thirties, I still have trouble naming all 50 states in one sitting. That being said, if the US had a cookie cutter set that compiled every individual state into the shape of a cookie, maybe I’d remember a little better. Not the case for Japan, however, as the 47-prefecture nation does have said cookie cutter.

Grouped by color and separated by region, the set comes with 47 pieces (one for each prefecture). The cookie cutter is detailed amazingly to form the exact curves and separations of the Japanese islands. I mean, if you’re going to make a complete set you might as well shoot for perfection, right?

Each cookie can be cut and baked individually depending on what Japanese region you’re in the mood to snack on. One can even bake them all at once, provided your oven is large enough, or assemble them afterwards as a sort of Japanese family puzzle night.
