Experience the Taste of Autumn with Kaki Aki-iro Kanten Jelly from Onsen Box

When you think of Japanese sweets (wagashi), you imagine delicate flavors, seasonal themes, and beautiful presentation. This September, Onsen Box brings you a truly special treat:
Kaki Aki-iro (Persimmon Autumn Colors) Kanten Jelly by Okai Saburō Shoten, a limited-edition autumn confection available only from October to December in Japan.

What is Kanten Jelly?
Kanten (agar) is a traditional Japanese ingredient made from seaweed. Unlike gelatin, it is plant-based, high in dietary fiber, and has a light, refreshing texture. Japanese confectioners have used kanten for centuries to create healthy and visually stunning sweets.

This particular kanten jelly is crafted into jewel-like cubes with a crispy outer layer and a soft, delicate inside. The texture is unlike any other—crispy, chewy, and smooth all at once.

Natural Colors, Seasonal Flavors
Kaki Aki-iro features three classic autumn flavors: persimmon, grape, and apple. Each piece is naturally colored using plant-based ingredients—no artificial colorings—making it a sweet you can enjoy with peace of mind.

The rich flavor of ripe persimmon pairs beautifully with the refreshing taste of seasonal fruits, offering a bite of autumn in every jewel-like piece. That is why this sweet is often called “the edible jewel” of Japan.
