Kanro Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, President and CEO: Tetsuya Murata, hereinafter Kanro), familiar for products like Kanro Candy and Pure Gummy, will release "Nutsbon Salty Butter Flavor" nationwide on Tuesday, April 14, 2026. This is a new addition to the "Nutsbon" crunch candy line, which offers a crunchy texture and rich peanut and caramel flavor that fills the mouth.
## Adding a guilty "salty butter" taste to the flavor of roasted peanuts and caramel!
"Nutsbon" is a crunch candy featuring Kanro's unique manufacturing method that wraps peanuts in candy. It was released in 1968 and has been a beloved product for many years. Although it was temporarily discontinued, due to requests for its return, a "Nutsbon Reprint Edition" was released for a limited time to coincide with Showa Day in April 2025. Many customers felt nostalgic for its crisp crunch texture and the savory flavor of peanuts and caramel. In February 2026, "Nutsbon Caramel Peanut Flavor" was released. Amidst voices, especially from younger generations, saying "candy takes too long to finish sucking," it was accepted as a "high time-performance" candy meant to be chewed and eaten, and its retro-cute package design was also highly well-received.
The "Nutsbon Salty Butter Flavor" being released this time has a 3-layer structure: a "salty butter candy layer" from the outside, a "nuts & salty butter candy layer" kneaded with crushed peanuts, and a "plenty of peanuts layer" containing even more crushed peanuts. We pursued a crunchy texture that crumbles satisfyingly in your mouth. Along with the caramel sweetness and roasted peanut savoriness unique to Nutsbon that spreads throughout your mouth, the salty butter flavor creates a perfectly matched taste. It's an addictive "crunchy and sweet" bite.
The package features a light blue-based striped pattern. Retaining the retro charm that is Nutsbon's appeal, it creates a crunchy feel by placing roughly crushed peanut-shaped candies front and center. The catchphrase "Peanut Bonbon" is added to the top of the package to express the characteristic "chewable candy." Whether between work or study, or during a relaxing moment with a cup of coffee, why not take a breather by chewing and savoring a "Nutsbon"?
