Autumn Delight: Chestnut and Milk Croissant Taiyaki

Starting September 15, 2026, Tsukiji Gindaco will unveil a seasonal treat that celebrates the essence of fall: the Chestnut & Milk Croissant Taiyaki. This limited-time offering is available at select Tsukiji Gindaco locations across Japan.

A Unique Culinary Experience

This new Croissant Taiyaki is designed to showcase the rich deliciousness of Italian chestnuts. The specialty croissant dough is infused with chestnut flavor, enveloping a decadent chestnut paste made from carefully selected premium chestnuts. Adding to its appeal, a creamy milk filling crafted from Hokkaido milk, accentuated with diced chestnuts, is baked to perfection at high temperatures.

With a single bite, customers will experience the delightful crunch of the croissant exterior and the luscious blend of rich chestnut and mild milk flavors, complemented by the contrasting texture of the chunky chestnut pieces. This seasonal delight is perfect for autumn tea time or as a sweet treat to reward oneself.

Insight from the Product Developer

In a statement regarding the new product, a developer from Tsukiji Gindaco expressed excitement over the Chestnut & Milk creation: “We receive tremendous feedback each year for our chestnut offerings, and this year, we poured our heart into crafting a masterpiece. We’ve selected high-quality chestnut paste from amongst many options to ensure a delightful experience. The beautifully layered croissant dough provides a perfect crunch, harmonizing expertly with the rich chestnut paste and creamy milk filling, reminiscent of Mont Blanc. We’re excited for everyone to enjoy this autumn-inspired treat!”

Pricing and Availability

The Chestnut & Milk Croissant Taiyaki is priced at 280 yen each (302 yen with tax for takeout). This seasonal delicacy will be available starting September 15, 2026, at Tsukiji Gindaco's various locations, excluding a few selected branches.

The product will also be available at “Gin no An”, the specialty taiyaki store within the same chain, offering enthusiasts even more opportunities to savor this autumn-inspired delight.

What is Croissant Taiyaki?

The Croissant Taiyaki is an original creation from the taiyaki specialty store, Gin no An. It consists of a special pastry made with homemade fillings baked in a custom taiyaki grill, achieving a unique crispiness thanks to its 24-layered dough cooked at high temperatures on both sides.

Biting into a freshly made Croissant Taiyaki releases an aromatic explosion of rich flavors that entice the taste buds. While still warm, the pastry is delicious, but allowing it to settle can enhance the distinctive texture even more – a refined experience awaits!

Digital Convenience

In addition to the autumn special, Tsukiji Gindaco also offers a digital stamp card through the Tsukiji Gindaco app, making it easy and rewarding to enjoy their offerings. Customers can collect stamps with each purchase of six or more takoyaki, earning rewards such as coupons for more items as they rack up stamps. On special days, double stamps are offered to further enhance the rewards experience!

Tsukiji Gindaco remains committed to providing “absolutely delicious” food experiences that provide comfort and joy. The Chestnut & Milk Croissant Taiyaki highlights their innovative approach and dedication to quality.
