Kogetsu LaunchesNew Bun Date Dumplings Featuring Tosa Buntan

The renowned Kogetsu, located in Kyoto and led by President Hideki Nakanishi, is set to unveil its new product, Bun Date Dumplings, starting from July 1, 2025. This exciting addition will be available for purchase at key locations including Kochi Ryoma Airport, Osaka International Airport, and Haneda Airport.

The star ingredient of these dumplings is the high-quality Tosa Buntan from Kochi Prefecture. The creation of these delicacies involves a careful process where the juice and jam from Tosa Buntan are blended into a rich, homemade filling. With each bite, consumers can experience the distinct bittersweetness, elegant sweetness, and refreshing acidity characteristic of this unique citrus fruit.

The dumplings' outer dough is incorporated with condensed milk, resulting in a creamy sweetness that complements the Buntan’s unique flavor while enveloping it in a gentle taste. Additionally, the surface of the baked skin is coated with Buntan juice, allowing the delightful citrus aroma to burst forth with every bite.

Attention to aesthetics has also been a priority in this creation. The famous protrusion of the Buntan has been creatively represented using pistachio, while the dumplings take on a round, adorable shape with a lustrous finish, mimicking freshly picked Buntan.

These Bun Date Dumplings not only serve as an excellent souvenir from Kochi but are also perfect for various gifting occasions throughout the year. Their versatility and delightful flavor make them a must-try for anyone looking to savor the taste of Buntan.
