Autumn is Here: Discover Grandir's Chestnut Delights
As the crisp autumn air settles in, now is the perfect time to indulge in seasonal treats from Kyoto's beloved bakery, Grandir. Starting September 1, 2026, Grandir will unveil a special limited-time offering: the 'Kyo Naka Chigiri Bread – Tianshan Chestnut and Marron Glace'. This delightful creation combines two types of chestnuts in a fluffy pull-apart bread, giving patrons a taste of autumn in each bite.
A Unique Combination of Flavors
The star of the autumn menu is undoubtedly the 'Kyo Naka Chigiri Bread – Tianshan Chestnut and Marron Glace'. With over 930,000 units sold in total from its series, this seasonal flavor is crafted by incorporating sweet and nutty Tianshan chestnuts and rich Italian chestnut glaze into the soft and chewy dough. This combination allows customers to experience the rustic sweetness of the Tianshan chestnut alongside the deep, moist flavor of the Italian chestnut in glorious harmony. Each bite promises a festive explosion of taste, texture, and aroma that epitomizes the essence of autumn.
Fall-Inspired Bread Creations
But that's not all! Grandir will also feature an enticing array of other fall-themed baked goods. Among them is the 'Bagel – Pumpkin Cheesecake', a vibrant yellow bagel that captures the essence of pumpkin with a creamy filling made from Hokkaido pumpkin. Another delightful item is the 'Scone – Pumpkin Cinnamon Latte', which perfectly combines the warm spice of cinnamon and the richness of pumpkin. For those craving something uniquely sweet, the 'Kyo Naka Yaki Imo Brulee' is sure to please – a fusion of sweet potato and custard wrapped in luscious dough topped with caramelized sweetness.
Moreover, Grandir will introduce the 'Naruto Kintoki Bacon Epi' in October, a creative twist on traditional Bacon Epi that incorporates the naturally sweet and salty Naruto Kintoki, merging flavors for a delightful tasting experience.
