Famous among locals in Oita, Kikeya’s “Suzukashi Set” is a summer sweets assortment that’s perfect for chūgen gifts and house-warming or thank-you visits. Highlights include refreshing treats like jelly and panna cotta—easy to enjoy at room temperature. Plus, the handy individually wrapped format makes it a great choice for office greetings or small gestures of appreciation.
This product isn’t like frozen sweets—it's designed to be received via room-temperature delivery, making it easy to handle for both the sender and the recipient. The lineup lets you enjoy different textures and flavors all in one go, such as jelly and panna cotta, so it works as a thoughtful small gift while still giving that “I really picked the right one” feeling. Since the set is primarily made of individually wrapped items, it’s also convenient for sharing—useful for distributing at the office or as a quick “extra treat” for colleagues.
This set is ideal not only for the classic summer greeting gift “chūgen / chūshō-mimai,” but also for moments when you want to give something “in a short period,” such as during a transfer or moving. Because it’s individually packed and easy to distribute, it tends to be well-received by many—so you can feel confident even when it’s hard to guess the recipient’s preferences. If you include a short message, it becomes an even easier gift to hand over in person.
Due to the product’s specifications, it states that frozen items cannot be bundled together. In other words, it’s safer to avoid sending it at the same time as other frozen foods in one shipment. Since it’s made to be enjoyed at room temperature, you can easily plan: store it in a cool place after it arrives, then open it when it’s time to eat.
