A Tradition Dating Back to 1838
O-kashi Tsuchiya is a long-established Japanese confectionery shop founded in 1755. In 1838, the shop’s makers recognized the intense sweetness of Dōjō Hachiya dried persimmons and developed a yōkan using the fruit as its main ingredient.
This innovation became a signature confection, preserving the distinctive flavor of premium dried persimmons in a smooth, richly flavored sweet.
Beautiful Color and Traditional Presentation
Kaki yōkan has an attractive orange color that evokes the fruit from which it is made. Each bite offers the concentrated sweetness and characteristic flavor of persimmons.
It is available in traditional bamboo containers as well as convenient paper boxes, making it suitable both for enjoying at home and for giving as a Japanese souvenir or gift.
