Experience the Delight of Cool Baklava in Nagoya
From August 26 to September 1, 2026, JR Nagoya Takashimaya will host a limited-time event featuring exciting Turkish sweets. This is your chance to indulge in Turkey's trendy 'Cool Baklava,' alongside the popular 'Dubai Chocolate.' The event is brought to you by Efetrading, the sole distributor for the esteemed Nadir Gullu and divan brands in Japan.
Introducing Cool Baklava
One of the highlights at this event is the introduction of 'Cold Pistachio Baklava' – a new addition to the sweet scene in Nagoya. Nadir Gullu, a name synonymous with baklava excellence since 1843, has created a delicious twist on the traditional treat. This version features layers of flaky pastry soaked in high-quality Hokkaido milk and topped with luxurious Belgian chocolate flakes.
At 2,700 yen for a box of four, this Cold Pistachio Baklava brings a delightful, moist texture that is perfect for the lingering warmth of summer. Its crunchy pistachio filling remains intact, creating a unique combination of taste and mouthfeel. This innovative dessert style of baklava, popularized in Turkey, is making its debut in Nagoya, much to the delight of local sweet lovers.
A Taste of Tradition with a Twist
The cold baklava is not the only offering at this event. Classic flavors such as the traditional Pistachio Baklava and Walnut Baklava will also be available. Nadir Gullu’s baklava uses the finest pistachios from Gaziantep and flavorful walnuts from Shevingkara, allowing customers to compare and explore the range of textures and flavors.
Baklava is a traditional Turkish dessert made by layering thin pastry dough, meticulously folded by hand, and filled with crushed pistachios or walnuts. It’s baked to perfection and finished with a drizzle of sweet syrup. Nadir Gullu's baklava stands out with its refined sweetness and rich nutty flavors that have been appreciated since the Ottoman Empire.
