Kansai Limited "Kinoko no Yama Kinako-bo Flavor" Now Available as Takatsuki City's Furusato Nozei Return Gift

Takatsuki City is advancing initiatives to broadly disseminate the charm of the city and the unique characteristics of local businesses through the Furusato Nozei system, expanding connections with people involved in the region. Donations received are utilized for projects related to childcare, education, welfare, enhancement of medical care, and creating a safe and secure city. This time, the Kansai-limited product "Kinoko no Yama Kinako-bo Flavor" has been newly added as a Furusato Nozei return gift for the city. We will continue to promote Takatsuki City nationwide with unique return gifts.

Meiji Co., Ltd. has a chocolate manufacturing factory in Takatsuki City, and the city has previously handled its products as Furusato Nozei return gifts.

This time, Takatsuki City has newly added the Kansai-limited product "Kinoko no Yama Dagashiya-san no Kinako-bo Flavor," newly released by the company, as a return gift. "Kinoko no Yama" is an "Osaka-born" product developed at the Osaka factory located in Takatsuki City, and this product is a Kansai-limited flavor developed to express gratitude for its 50th anniversary. It features the fragrant and gentle sweetness of kinako, reminiscent of the "Kinako-bo" candy familiar at dagashiya (traditional Japanese candy stores). Its somewhat nostalgic finish can be enjoyed by all generations.

As a large-capacity return gift, please enjoy the unique Kansai-limited flavor and the charm of Takatsuki City while sharing with family and friends.

About Takatsuki City:
Takatsuki City, Osaka Prefecture, is located almost halfway between Osaka City and Kyoto City, and is a city with a population of approximately 350,000, possessing a highly convenient transportation network. The northern part boasts rich nature, while the southern part has urban areas centered around commercial facilities and residential areas, making it a livable city where urban and nature coexist.

It is also known as the "city of shogi," and in Reiwa 6 (2024), the "Kansai Shogi Kaikan," a sacred place for shogi in Western Japan, relocated and reopened here. In addition to hosting shogi title matches such as the Osho-sen and Meijin-sen, the city is committed to promoting shogi culture, including distributing shogi pieces made from Takatsuki-produced wood to all first-grade elementary school students in the city.

Furthermore, backed by the development of its medical system, the city is promoting urban development as a "health and medical advanced city." It is also focusing on enhancing childcare and education policies, such as providing completely free medical care for children (the first in Osaka Prefecture) and implementing 35-student classes in municipal elementary and junior high schools ahead of the national standard.
