Kiritampo Set

Enjoy Akita’s culinary delights with these ready-to-eat cylindrical rice cakes. A set comes with 10 packets of stock and 10 kiritanpo sticks. It serves five to six people, so gather your friends and recount your visit to Nyuto Onsen Village over a warm meal.

Morokoshi Sweets

Try this trio made from white broad bean, red bean and matcha powder. The confectionery has a hard, crunchy bite and a powdery texture, which melts into a sweet and creamy paste in your mouth. It’s the perfect treat with a cup of hot green tea!

Onsen Bath Powder

Take home the onsen’s miracle power in this packet of bath salts. You’ll get the best of Nyuto Village’s seven onsen in a single sachet. Simply pour the contents in a warm bath and soak in this potent mixture of mineral goodness for rejuvenated, supple skin. As it is sulphur-free, babies over three months old can use it too.

Iburigakko

Eat like the locals with a serving of scrumptious Iburigakko. Literally translated as “smoked pickles”, this pickled daikon radish is sold in a vacuum-sealed bag. It is sliced and normally enjoyed as an appetiser. Its smoky flavour complements a hearty bowl of Akitatomachi rice—try it!

Honey Fruit Vinegar

This vinegar comes in a variety of fruit flavours and is manufactured using locally-grown produce such as muscat grape and yuzu. Known for its high-antioxidant and gastrointestinal health-boosting properties, this drink contains the sweetness of honey and the tart goodness of fruit.
