December is a month filled with holiday home parties, seasonal greetings, and New Year's holiday visits—there are many occasions to prepare gifts. If you're thinking about what to bring, check out the gift list recommended by the FASHION HEADLINE editorial team. Obusedo, a long-established Japanese confectionery shop located in Obuse Town in northern Nagano Prefecture, affectionately known as the "town of chestnuts, Hokusai, and flowers," introduces their "Kuri Kanoko" chestnut kinton (from 370 yen), the perfect gift for the New Year! Obusedo's Kuri Kanoko features a smooth bean paste made with only chestnuts and sugar, and large, chunky chestnuts inside. The chestnut texture and elegant sweetness spread throughout the mouth, creating a rich flavor that will have you hooked after just one bite. Available in small quantities and canned for long-lasting storage, it's a convenient gift for any occasion. Not only is it perfect for New Year's, but we also recommend enjoying it as a sweet treat with strong matcha or coffee.
