A Little Happiness from Akita: Luxurious Bite of Kinman

📍 Kinman Akita’s iconic sweet treat, “Kinman,” is a soft, fluffy pastry filled with subtly sweet white bean paste. First introduced in 1952, it has become a beloved delicacy for both locals and tourists alike. When freshly baked, the outer skin is wonderfully soft, creating a perfect balance of roasted flavor and the gentle sweetness of the filling. Even when cooled, its deliciousness remains unchanged, making it an ideal gift or souvenir. Available at major spots across Akita, including airports and roadside stations, Kinman is a perfect treat for your journey or a gift for loved ones. Additionally, there is a special collaboration with Hello Kitty, where you can purchase the charming Hello Kitty packaging. Savor a moment of Akita’s rich cultural flavor with Kinman, and let its gentle sweetness warm your heart. #celebrateit
