It was challenging. This one took a lot more glue than others. Thank goodness for the spare parts. The switch is working well, but needs to be tightened once in a while.

[Coming Soon] Yong An Soy Milk Shop Miniature House Kit | Limited Edition
What the build levels mean
- Beginner No experience needed, snap together parts and clear pictures for every step
- Intermediate Smaller parts and wiring, best if you have built a kit before
- Advanced Fine detail work and patience required, for confident builders
Not for the faint of heart. A limited edition build, reserved for collectors who don't stop at beginner kits. Fried dough fritters sizzling behind the counter, a red signboard glowing over tiled walls, this is a glowing corner of Taipei built one precision cut piece at a time.
- Advanced build, made for it: 1,017 pieces guided by a full visual manual, from the steel counter to the exposed pipes overhead, built for makers ready to go beyond intermediate kits.
- Paced across weeks, not one sitting: 15 to 16 hours with no rush point. The slower you go, the more of the shop reveals itself, right down to the handwritten menus.
- Completion Guarantee: Join 250,000+ builders. Break a piece? We replace it free.
Gift orders are packed without prices in the box.
- Secure checkout
- Tracked shipping
- 30 day returns
Some corners of a city are not photographed. They are remembered.
Steam curling off a soy milk pot. A radio playing behind the counter. Fried dough fritters (youtiao) sizzling golden by the fryer, ready to be wrapped in warm sesame flatbread. Stools worn smooth by decades of morning regulars. Yong An Soy Milk Shop rebuilds that memory piece by piece, down to the counter jars, the signage, and the warm glow spilling onto the street outside.
This is not a weekend project. It is a season.
1,017 pieces. Eight LED strips lighting the shop from the inside out. Fifteen to sixteen hours of build time, most builders spread it across several evenings, a little section at a time, the way the shop itself was built brick by brick. Every piece still arrives precut and numbered, and the visual guide still walks you through every step. Nothing here is confusing. It is simply complete, exactly the way a display piece this detailed should be.
If you break a piece, we replace it. Free. No questions asked.
Your soy milk shop is guaranteed from the moment you open the box.
A limited edition piece. Once sold out, it will not return.
Ready to bring an entire street back to life, one lit window at a time?
Details & Specifications
Yong An Soy Milk Shop captures the quiet warmth of a Taipei morning before the city fully wakes. A weathered façade opens onto a familiar counter, its steel surface lined with exposed pipes, hand lettered menus, and jars catching the first light of day. Steam curls from bamboo baskets stacked along the counter, while fried dough fritters, youtiao, sizzle golden by the fryer, ready to be wrapped in warm sesame flatbread. Small metal tables and red stools wait beneath a tiled wall and a glowing red signboard, its light settling over the street as the neighbourhood slowly stirs awake.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you bring Yong An Soy Milk Shop to life.
What skill level do I need to build this?
Yong An Soy Milk Shop is rated advanced/expert. This is not your first kit territory, we recommend having completed at least one book nook or miniature house before starting. If you've built an intermediate kit already, you have the steady hand and patience this one rewards. The extra time and detail are exactly what make the finished piece stand apart on a shelf.
How long does the build take?
Give yourself 15 to 16 hours. Almost no one builds this in one sitting, most spread it across several evenings or a few weekends, working through one section of the shop at a time. There's no rush point in this build. The slower you go, the more of the shop reveals itself.
Is this suitable as a gift?
Yes, though we'd point this one toward someone who already has a kit or two under their belt, given the advanced rating. For an experienced builder, few gifts land better than a limited edition piece they know won't come around again.
What is included in the kit?
Everything you need to complete the build: 1,017 precision cut wooden pieces, 8 LED light strips, tools and tweezers, a fully illustrated English instruction guide, and dust cover panels.
(Batteries are not included due to shipping restrictions.)
What tools will I need?
Tweezers are included in the box. A small amount of white or silicon based craft glue works best for assembly, along with a bit of patience for the finer detailing.
Does it need batteries or a power outlet?
The LED lighting can run on 3 x AA batteries (not provided) or via the included USB-C plug. You can power it from any standard USB adapter, laptop port, or USB hub.
What if a piece is missing or damaged?
Reach out to us directly at info@byanavrin.com. We keep replacement parts on hand for this kit and will get the right piece to you free of charge. A missing piece is never the end of your build, even on a limited run.
Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 9476 reviews.
Always enjoy these kits, very tiny peices, cut and printed well, love the lights and stickers.
Really enjoyed putting this together and would recommend. I added a few different options or additions.
J’ai passé un excellent moment à tout assembler!! Hâte de recommander un kit🥹🤍
Another great book nook from Anavrin showcasing the historic Bukchon Hanok village neighborhood in Seoul that includes traditional South Korean houses and the iconic Seoul tower as a backdrop. Dark-tiled curved roofs, and wood-and-stone architecture contrasted against the backdrop of modern city skyscrapers. Fun to put together and the finished product is timeless.
The end result is beautiful! But there were a few things I wasn’t crazy about. The first being that there is a great deal of ” Fussy work” Involving very tiny pieces of plastic that were not the easiest to work with, if you’re older.. I love the lighting. The one thing I disliked outright was at the beginning: you had to add the back piece and it did nothing but keep falling over throughout the entire build. It drove me crazy. But the end result was spectacular! My son will love it. Thank you Anvarin!
This is my third Anavrin build and I can honestly say I consider this my legacy piece. It’s my Hands-down favorite kit that I’ve ever assembled. The quality and detail is astonishing! I had no problems. The wiring was perfect in terms of fit and length and the pieces are made of thick wood and beautifully detailed acrylic. I would rate this an intermediate to advanced kit, but if you just follow the very clear directions, I think most anyone could do it. This is my all-time favorite company. I’m getting ready to build the Seoul Kit, next. Thank you, Anavrin. Your kits cost a little more but they are worth every penny!
Loved it & looks amazing finished. Looks like a piece of art and all the tiny details are amazing. Instructions were very clear and easy to understand. Had so much fun building it, though it did only take 6-7 hours. Sadly one of my deers was broken, but it looks good without it too. The touch-power button did not work well, but I tried adding some aluminium foil and it seems to work better.. Wish the music box played something more fantasy-ish music, but it sounds nice.

Jammer dat sommige delen niet goed in elkaar paste.
Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition
What a great build. The product quality is top notch. So many details to contribute to the story. The outside walls tell a story too. The lighting was very easy to follow.
Hands down, the best one yet! So much attention to detail, little hidden nooks, and a rewarding experience all round. The pieces fit together well.
Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition
This was a challenging build! That being said, if you take your time and are patient You will be blown away at the end just as I was! This kit is the highest quality of any kit. I’ve built to date.. The directions were clear, although somehow I messed up and can’t get the dust cover on the front. But building the lanterns and assembling the umbrellas really took the build to another level. I would consider myself experienced and it still took me several days at 5 to 6 hours a day. It’s worth the time and the money. I would recommend this over any other brand and I have built them all.
Cat's crossing was so much fun to put together! The greenery was great and added a good touch to the overall aesthetic. I love that you can arrange the books however you want. This detail makes it easy to create a unique look for yourself. The only problem I have had is with the on/off button. It doesn't work when installed. It works when not installed though. Still a fun build and a good looking finish.
Best experience I’ve had building a book nook, the pieces fit together so well and the instructions were incredibly clear thanks to the large colour printing. I added a few extra customisations just to make it my own and I absolutely love how it turned out!
What a centerpiece! I adore it. Turned out so well. Very enchanting and it was so much fun to embellish with various static grasses and vines I had on hand. I caked the tree with the fake grass by using B-7000 glue and dipping the tree in it. I also used some of the fiber fill from the deer boxes on the waterfall ridge for a misty mountain effect.
Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition
This is so much fun I just love it. People look at it and are fascinated by the detail! I am working on the cat crossing which is a little harder but fun too. I have ordered my next project!
Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition
I love it. It was so fun to make. The only problem I had was a little piece broke off where the battery pack is inserted. I think this is my favorite one so far again I love it.
Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition
On sent que les matériaux sont de très grande qualité, et l'expérience de montage est géniale. Le rendu final est magnifique.
Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition
This was a difficult build to be honest. Some very fiddly parts. I had some fit issues and some of the instructions were not very clear. I feel like I had to use a lot more glue than in previous builds. The on/off switch doesn't work when installed. It is a gorgeous end product though. I enjoyed the overall experience.
Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition
This was really fun to build! It’s so cool to have a music box with the beautiful lights that showcase this magical little world. The only reason I have this 4 stars instead of 5 is because the specs seem to be a bit off at the base. The music box will get stuck because there isn’t enough clearance between the base that it’s contained in so you have to jiggle the box a bit to get the music box to continue playing through.
Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition
Fun to build, and the pieces seemed well-constructed. This was my first piece and now I want to build more.
This was one of my favorite builds. The detail to all the different pieces is amazing! The directions for the wiring was a little confusing but overall it was a good time.
Only really getting into the meat of the kit, but I am enjoying the challenge. It’s not easy, and you have to concentrate, but that’s great for stress relief. The detailing is great, the pieces are superbly cut from the boards, and the look is quality. I’ll do another after Kyoto.
Great craft to spend time with on the weekends! Took my mind off work for quite some time. The instructions were easy to follow and everything was clearly labelled. Looking forward to my next purchase already (:
This was one of my favorite kits I’ve ever done. The quality is amazing, and the instructions are easy to follow.
다른 북눅킷에 비해 바닥 고정이 잘 안되네요..반 정도 하부가 떠 있어야 기둥을 세웠을 때 고정이 되는데..이 제품은 정말 짜증납니다..부셨습니다..

Magnifique, j’ai adoré la construction !
This was a fun build. The drink dispenser and the food details are so awesome. The middle lighting with the globes was my favorite detail. Great experience!
처음 시도한 책북미니어처인데..은근히 빠져드는 매력이 있네요..이것저것 부러져서 글루를 써서 다시 만들고..우여곡절 끝에 완성했는데 보람은 있네요
Muy buen producto!!! Calidad,super entretenido y muy bonito. Volvere a repetir con otra compra.
Beautifull!
Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition
One of my favourites! A really beautifully crafted book nook. Every miniature detail feels intentional, from the warm architectural textures to the delicate bread displays, creating a truly immersive scene. The build quality is excellent, with clean components and a satisfying assembly process. Once completed, it becomes a stunning display piece that adds depth and character to any shelf or reading space, especially when illuminated, where it truly comes to life.
Great experience setting it up. Ive ordered over 15 booknooks or builds from various companies but this was by far the best. Really good quality and the instructions are so clear, it was a joy to set this up.
Whispering Hollow Miniature House Kit (Music Box) | Collector's Edition
I really enjoy putting these together. The detail is great, assembly is kind of zen, and the final product is super cool.
Zelfs de hond en kat wilden ook mee bouwen 😁 Heerlijk uren aan het freubelen geweest en heel blij met het resultaat! Zo leuk!
spend 6 hours together with my oldest offspring making this masterpiece :-)
In progress. The kit is super cute and made with quality materials. The circuit board and lights weren’t working but they are sending me a replacement. Very good customer service. This is my 2nd kit and I have another already purchased.
Love spending my spare time building these great looking little book nooks and all parts fit well together
This wooden Book Nook is an absolute masterpiece! Every detail has been thoughtfully designed, capturing the atmosphere, architecture, and nostalgic beauty of a bygone era. The craftsmanship is exceptional. The wooden pieces fit together perfectly, and the intricate decorations create an incredibly immersive scene. The warm lighting adds a magical touch, making the entire display come alive, especially in the evening. I cannot recommend this Book Nook highly enough. It combines creativity, craftsmanship, nostalgia, and cultural charm in a truly unforgettable way.
