Garrett Popcorn Shops definitely has its fans in Japan. Since they opened their first stand in the popular Harajuku neighborhood of Tokyo in 2013, the Chicago-born gourmet popcorn brand founded in 1949 has been doing well here, opening up more shops in Nagoya, LaLaport EXPOCITY in Osaka and the Shisui Premium Outlet in Chiba Prefecture.

Both foreign visitors and long-term residents alike also appreciate their flavors inspired by their adoptive home, some of which we've introduced before. For example, Gourmet Sakura Popcorn in sakura decorated tins, and Matcha Truffle Caramel Crisp, a grade-up version of their already popular Matcha Caramel Crisp flavor, are worth mentioning.

But if you're a real matcha-lover who craves the deeply concentrated "green gold," you may want to visit your nearest Garrett Popcorn Shop for a limited-time flavor coming out on June 1st, 2020.

Koimatcha Kinako Walnut popcorn from Garrett Japan

Garrett Japan has taken their popular Matcha Caramel Crisp flavor and tweaked the formula, creating their strongest matcha flavor to date with four times the matcha concentration of the original. Paired with their Kinako Kurumi popcorn which blends aromatic roasted soybean flour and walnuts, the two make for a delicious combination sure to satisfy your matcha fix.
