New Store Grand Opening: Daikanyama Candyapple Brings Authentic Apple Candy to Japan's Culture

Exciting New Flavors of Tradition: Daikanyama Candyapple's New Store

On December 5, 2025, the vibrant city of Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture, will welcome the grand opening of the Daikanyama Candyapple store at Kobe Marui. This new location aims to introduce a unique take on Japan's beloved apple candy, blending traditional flavors with modern innovation, promising an unforgettable experience for sweet enthusiasts.

A Journey of Flavors

Daikanyama Candyapple is renowned for its commitment to creating authentic apple candy that showcases the natural beauty and flavor of high-quality apples. The new Kobe store, situated on the first floor of Kobe Marui, is an exciting relocation from the previous Sannomiya store. The premises will be open daily from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, inviting customers to discover a delightful range of handmade apple candies.

Emphasizing the essence of “Tradition x Innovation,” Candyapple's mission is clear: to elevate the apple candy experience and integrate it into Japan’s cultural fabric. This fresh approach captures the nostalgic essence of traditional festival sweets while appealing to contemporary tastes and aesthetics.

A Candy Experience Like No Other

At Daikanyama Candyapple, each month brings a carefully curated selection of the best apples from across Japan, picked at the peak of their season. The brand prides itself on adjusting the thickness and temperature of the candy coating according to the apple's texture, sweetness, acidity, aroma, and juiciness. The result? A delicate and crisp outer shell that perfectly preserves the juiciness of the apple within. With every bite, candy aficionados can enjoy the refreshing acidity and aroma of the apples harmoniously mingled with the sweetness of the candy.

This level of craftsmanship creates a visually appealing treat that is not only easy to carry but also offers a light, airy texture that redefines the category of sweets. While initially drawing in the younger, social media-savvy generation, the candy has seen a surge in popularity among families, including adults in their 30s who appreciate the genuine taste after their children bring these delicious treats home. The saying, “not just beautiful but genuinely tasty,” resonates across generations, creating a buzz that transcends demographics.

Building a Bridge Between Cutlures

The brand’s dedication to delivering a “real” and exceptional candy experience goes beyond just taste. Candyapple embraces the philosophy of “bringing authentic apple candy to Japan's culture,” valuing the natural allure of fruit and aiming to create a new dessert culture that blends traditional methods with innovative techniques. With this vision, the brand wishes to foster a joyful family atmosphere where every member can indulge in special everyday moments through the enjoyment of these delectable sweets.

As outlined in their mission statement, Candyapple strives to preserve and pass on the uniquely Japanese fruit dessert culture to future generations. Their commitment to excellence will continue to inspire new experiences that all families can participate in and enjoy.
