Confectionery maker Morozoff has joined forces with Yawataya Isogoro — a Nagano-based shichimi (seven-spice chili pepper) purveyor counted among Japan's three great shichimi makers — to create a new treat called "Shichimi Arcadia." The product blends the gentle sweetness of Morozoff's long-selling "Arcadia" baked cookie with the bold, layered spice of Yawataya Isogoro's signature shichimi, and will go on sale exclusively at Nagano Tokyu Department Store starting March 26, 2026.
On sale from March 26, 2026 (Thursday) — available year-round
Available at: Nagano Tokyu Department Store, Main Building B1F / Matsumoto and Ueda Satellite Shops
★NEW★ Shichimi Arcadia
The star ingredient is cashew nut, chosen for its characteristically mild sweetness. The traditional egg-white baking method stays intact, but aromatic "arare" (crispy rice crackers) have been mixed in to add a new layer of texture. Tucked beneath the surface is a nostalgic seasoning built from bonito dashi, soy sauce, and mirin — a mellow combination that beautifully amplifies the deep, vibrant fragrance of Yawataya Isogoro's shichimi pepper. The result is a Shinshu specialty with a captivating contrast of subtle sweetness and spiced warmth that keeps you coming back for more.
