Opening on Saturday, March 15, 2025
COCOLO KYOTO, a specialty store offering over 10 types of organic, additive-free flavored nuts, will open on the first floor of Yurakucho Marui.
■What is "COCOLO KYOTO"?
This is the first organic nut specialty store in Kyoto. Nuts are rich in high-quality fats and minerals and are said to be "natural supplements." Nut artisans turn these nuts into a variety of flavored nuts. The flavored nuts created by the hands of nut artisans are made with the best ingredients, the finest refined cooking utensils, and a craftsmanship mindset.
As the store is located in the Kyoto Basin, it is in an environment where the temperature and humidity change easily with the seasons, day and night, and day to day. The nut craftsmen are sensitive to these changes and, with calculations backed by experience, flavor each and every nut and carefully roast them. Their high level of skill and experience create a rich flavor that is unlike any other in the world.
Nut artisans preparing flavored nuts
■A wide range of products (examples)
We have prepared over 10 types of carefully selected flavored nuts made from organic nuts. You can sample all the flavored nuts on the spot, so you can choose your favorite one with confidence. Many people say that "It's great not only as a snack, but also as a snack with alcohol!", and it is an all-rounder snack that goes well with any type of alcohol.
We also have several gift boxes available, so you can choose your favorite flavor combination to give as a gift.
"Kuro-Shichimi Nuts" 30g 800 yen (tax included) / 65g 1,500 yen (tax included)
The most popular product is the collaboration nuts, which use black shichimi from Hararyokaku, a company with over 300 years of history. They are characterized by the hotness of chili peppers and the rich aroma of Japanese pepper. For the organic tamari soy sauce, we use "gluten-free soy sauce" made only from soybeans using a method carefully crafted by Marumata Shoten, a company founded 200 years ago. Soy sauce made only from soybeans has a rich flavor and is rich in umami ingredients, making it safe for people with wheat allergies to eat.
"Yakinori Nuts" 30g 800 yen (tax included) / 65g 1,500 yen (tax included)
These nuts are a collaboration with Tsutakin Shoten, a seaweed wholesaler with over 120 years of history in Yokohama that continues to pass on traditional flavors to future generations. They are made with carefully selected, flavorful domestic seaweed and organic tamari soy sauce, giving them a sophisticated taste. Enjoy them with champagne, wine, or beer to bring out the aroma of the sea in your mouth even more.
"Curry Nuts" 30g 800 yen (tax included) / 65g 1,500 yen (tax included)
These are nuts made in collaboration with Nile Restaurant, Japan's first authentic Indian restaurant, which has been loved for many years in Ginza. They use curry powder, which features a traditional flavor that has been passed down since the restaurant first opened. These are nuts made in collaboration with carefully selected spices from India and organic nuts, resulting in a rich and deep flavor. A luxurious dish from Kyoto and Ginza! Once you start eating these curry nuts, you won't be able to stop.
"Coffee Nuts" 30g 800 yen (tax included) / 65g 1,500 yen (tax included)
These nuts are a collaboration with Ogawa Coffee, one of Kyoto's leading coffee shops. They handle high-quality raw beans carefully selected from all over the world, but they use JAS-certified organic coffee beans to create nuts that allow you to enjoy the full coffee flavor.
Organic coffee is grown without relying on chemically synthesized pesticides, fertilizers, genetic modification, etc., making the most of the power of nature. Not only does it reduce the burden on the environment, such as the soil, but it also has a gentler side for producers who work on the farms, as there is less impact on the health of chemicals.
The coffee, which is characterized by its rich aroma, gentle bitterness, and mellow flavor, blends with the natural sweetness of organic nuts.
