If you’re looking for high-quality souvenirs from Japan, Tokushima Prefecture offers plenty of refined treats crafted with care and tradition.
Made with local specialties like Naruto Kintoki sweet potatoes, sudachi citrus, and Awa indigo, these premium confections make the perfect gift — whether for loved ones, colleagues, or to remember your Japan trip.
In this guide, we’ve handpicked five luxurious Tokushima souvenirs that combine beautiful presentation, authentic flavor, and local craftsmanship.
Perfect for formal gifts, omiyage (souvenirs), or a special treat for someone important.
1. Kin no Shizuku (Golden Drop) – Naruto Kintoki Sweet Potato & Honey Manju
A sophisticated Japanese sweet made from Tokushima-grown Naruto Kintoki sweet potatoes.
This soft manju features a smooth, sweet potato filling wrapped in a tender dough, with a core of golden sweet potato syrup that melts in your mouth.
Its layered flavor — dough, filling, and syrup — offers an indulgent harmony that makes it an ideal gift from Tokushima.

Known as one of Tokushima’s most beloved traditional Japanese sweets (wagashi), Saoshika has been cherished for decades.
Made from glutinous rice, yam, and rice flour, this steamed sweet has a fluffy, moist texture and a subtle sweetness from Wasanbon sugar, a Tokushima specialty.
