A feeling of a new procession store in the Harajuku / Omotesando area.

"Gourmet popcorn" is also popular in the United States. One of the popular stores, "KuKuRuZa Popcorn", which has its head office in Seattle, has landed for the first time in Japan. The first store "Omotesando store" will open on September 14th. What kind of shop is this shop, which is talked about with 36 kinds of abundant flavors? At the preview for the media, I experienced it a little earlier!
Kukuruza Popcorn is a very popular popcorn specialty store with 3 stores in Seattle, 3 stores in Saudi Arabia, and a daily line at the main store.

Its characteristic is abundant flavors. We have a wide variety of 36 types, from standard to sweets and those with a taste that is perfect for sake. According to this abundant flavor, we use two types of corn, a round "mushroom type" and a "butterfly type" that is often seen in Japan, and also adopt a manufacturing method called "air pop" that is made by exploding with hot air without using oil. There seems to be.

At the Omotesando store, staff trained in Seattle will season the store's kitchen to provide the "taste of the main store."

There are 10 flavors out of 36 (starting at 350 yen). In addition to the standard flavors of "Hawaiian salt caramel," "classic caramel," "cheddar cheese," and "brown butter and sea salt," which are the most popular at the main store, "black raspberry," "cinnamon bun," and crispy bacon finished with icing are addictive. You can choose from a total of 8 types of liquor-friendly items such as "Maple Bacon" and "Truffle Fromage Porcini", which have an irresistible harmony, and 2 types of limited flavors that change every month.

The limited flavors for September are "Fancy Nut Caramel", which is entwined with three kinds of nuts, and "Jalapeño White Cheddar", which has a addictive spiciness.

On the first day of the opening on September 14, "Kukuruza Trial" (3,200 yen), which is a set of all 10 flavors, will also be on sale, so why not try and compare the abundant flavors first? The set will be discontinued when the out-of-stock flavor is released. There are 3 sizes of S / M / L for the popcorn package. Since it has a zipper and can be sealed tightly, it is said that it will be kept for about 6 days from the date of manufacture.


There are also two sizes of "gallon cans" that are convenient for gifts, etc. The "1 gallon can" (2,800 yen) contains S size x 4 flavors, and the "2 gallon can" (5,000 yen) contains M size x 5 flavors. (You cannot choose the flavor). There are plenty of can designs, and in addition to the four standard types, seasonal designs will also be available.
The Omotesando store will open on the first floor of the Omotesando Hills Dojunkan. The colorful interior that can be seen from the windows of the retro building is a landmark. Business hours are from 11:00 to 21:00. It seems that you can enjoy gourmet and rich popcorn together with "Garret Popcorn Shops", which is still in line.
