Nagoya is a city renowned for its myriad gastronomic delights. At the terminus, Nagoya Station, you cannot only discover these culinary treasures but also procure the specialties of Aichi Prefecture! Below, I present Aichi's local things available for purchase at Nagoya Station. Endeavor to find your preferred memento!
「坂角総本舖」ゆかり
One of Nagoya's most beloved souvenirs is 坂角総本舖 (Sakakado Sohonten)'s "ゆかり(Yukari)." These prawn crackers exude an exquisite blend of ingredient flavors and the fragrance of expert roasting.
Yukari employs artisanal techniques dating back to the Edo period, undergoing meticulous roasting for a duration surpassing seven days, resulting in an exceptional aroma ♡ We fastidiously select the most delicious, seasonal natural prawns, ensuring an authentic taste!
For a gift, we recommend the Yukari Golden Can, encased in a splendid golden tin. Inspired by the ornate shachihoko of Nagoya Castle, it encapsulates Nagoya's ambiance.
「東海寿」小倉トーストラングドシャ
The "小倉トーストラングドシャ(Kokura Toast Langue de Chat)" is a souvenir featuring Nagoya's iconic Kokura toast.
This rectangular confection, reminiscent of bread, meticulously reproduces the edges of the toast. Encasing a delectable filling of Kokura red bean chocolate, it achieves perfect harmony with artificial butter.
Convenient to eat and easily shareable, it serves as an excellent corporate gift! The packaging itself is a testament to Nagoya's souvenir aesthetic.
「大須ういろ」ウイロバー
"ウイロバー(Wirobar)" is a chic and convenient souvenir from Nagoya's renowned confectionery, "Osuiro(大須ういろ)." Established in 1947, Osuiro, a long-established company, has developed a new style of Uiro for the younger generation.
The bite-sized Wirobar sticks are adorable and have gained popularity on social media! The packaging, crafted from cowhide paper, exudes a retro yet stylish charm.
Furthermore, you can savor five classic flavors: sakura, black, white, neroli, and matcha. It makes for a stylish souvenir to gift to friends and family!
「覚王山吉芋」吉芋花火
"Yakiimo Hanabi (吉芋花火)" is the flagship product of Kakuozan Kiyamu, a company with over 30 years of entrepreneurial history. It is made by blending raw sweet potatoes with homemade honey, imparting an enticing countryside flavor.
Distinguished from regular sweet potato snacks, Yakiimo Hanabi has a slightly soft and moist texture. Cut into thin strips, it is light and irresistible.
With a shelf life of three days, whether for personal consumption or as a gift for soon-to-be-reunited family and friends, it is an excellent choice!
「名古屋フランスcorp」名古屋ふらんす
" 名古屋ふらんす(Nagoya Frans)" is a new standard souvenir born from Nagoya's unique cultural fusion. This product sandwiches the quintessential Japanese sweet, "mochi," with the stylish French confection "dackvas."
Upon biting into the rich dackvas, you'll discover a mysterious flavor complemented by the sweetness of the cream inside. In addition to the standard chocolate and matcha flavors, the shop introduces limited-time flavors based on the season!
If you choose Nagoya Frans as a souvenir, you'll undoubtedly share in Nagoya's culinary culture.♪
「両口屋是清」千なり
"千なり(Sennari)" is a popular product from the traditional sweet shop "両口屋是清(Ryokuchiya Korekiyo)," established in 1634. The slogan for this Japanese sweet is "soft, granular, and crispy," offering a unique texture akin to dorayaki.
Its most distinctive feature is the soft baked skin, delicately melting in the mouth, with a less pronounced outer layer compared to regular dorayaki, accentuating the taste of the sweet bean paste.
The bean paste comes in three varieties: red bean, matcha red bean, and apple red bean. We recommend trying a type that allows you to experience all the flavors!
「青柳総本家」カエルまんじゅう
For a charming Nagoya souvenir, we recommend "Kaeru Manju カエルまんじゅう" (Frog Bun), featuring a smiling frog design on the bun.
Artisans handcraft the eyes and mouth of each frog. In addition to the standard sweet bean filling, seasonal flavors and collaboration products are also available!
Express your sentiments through wordplay, perhaps depicting a frog safely returning from a journey or business trip or a frog reuniting with its family.
「餅文総本店」わらびういろ
"わらびういろ(Warabi Uiro)" is a novel confection that combines the renowned outer layer and warabi-mochi texture of Nagoya. This product is crafted by the long-established store "餅文総本店(Mochibun Sohonten)," founded in 1659.
Upon opening the packaging, you'll find a plump, translucent liquid. Consuming it with the accompanying brown sugar syrup and high-quality soybean flour and refrigerating it for about an hour enhances the flavor!
Moreover, it can be carried at room temperature, boasting a long shelf life, making it an excellent souvenir! Recommended for those seeking Nagoya specialties that differ from the ordinary♪
「松永製菓」生しるこサンド
"生しるこサンド(Nama Shiruko Sand)" is gaining popularity nationwide in Japan, but it is a dessert that initially originated in Nagoya. Purchase the "Nama Shiruko Sandwich" at Nagoya Station and indulge in an elevated level of deliciousness!
Moist biscuits sandwich smooth butter and red bean paste made from Hokkaido red beans. There are three types: Tsuan, Koshi-an, and Matcha, allowing you to choose according to your preference.
Compared to the straightforward Shiruko Sandwich, you can savor different flavors, making it an excellent gift for family or superiors.
「カルビー」じゃがりこ 手羽先味
If you're looking for a souvenir with a theme centered around Nagoya's specialty, chicken wings, we recommend the popular snack "じゃがりこ(Jyagariko)" in the Tebasaki (chicken wing) flavor! It is a unique local snack exclusive to Nagoya.
The taste of this snack is spicy and peppery, making it an addictive treat that can also be enjoyed as a side dish—perfect for enthusiasts of alcoholic beverages!
Furthermore, the elaborate packaging features a golden shachihoko, and it is actually coated with gold leaf, genuinely embodying the atmosphere of Nagoya.
