Autumn in Japan is known as the season of eating! When the air starts getting crisp and leaves start turning golden, everyone in Japan gets ready for "shokuyoku no aki," or the season of appetite. That's because autumn is the time when crops are gathered, and everyone gets a bite of good food made from the freshest ingredients.
This fall, we've gathered all of the tastiest autumn Japanese snacks and candy so that you can also have a taste of Japan's shokuyoku no aki. Put on your coziest autumn jacket and bring along a wicker basket because we're having a season of good eats with the upcoming box, Golden Harvest Picnic!

In Japan, good food is super abundant during the fall. There's so much to harvest during the autumn season! From buttery sweet potatoes and starchy chestnuts to sweet, decadent persimmons, crisp apples, juicy nashi (Japanese pears), grapes, and more. Japanese autumn is a season full of flavor!
