From May 20 to 26, 2026, two Turkish sweet brands will set up a limited-time shop on the basement first floor Delicious Stage of Abeno Harukas Kintetsu Main Store, Tower Wing. The brands are Nadir Gullu, a historic baklava specialty shop from Istanbul, Turkey, and divan, a luxury confectionery brand served at Istanbul's five-star Divan Hotel.
About Nadir Gullu
Founded in 1843, Nadir Gullu is one of the oldest and most celebrated baklava brands in Turkey — often referred to as the "King of Baklava."
Baklava is a traditional Turkish baked confection made by layering pastry dough with crushed nuts such as pistachios, walnuts, or hazelnuts, then finishing with a buttery syrup. Beloved since the Ottoman Empire era, this courtly sweet traces its origins back to the 15th century and remains a national favorite in Turkey.
Weekend-Limited Item: "Nadir Special Baklava"
A roll-shaped baklava made by wrapping pistachio in pastry dough. It uses more than twice the amount of pistachio compared to standard baklava, offering a concentrated taste of the finest Turkish-grown pistachios.
Craftsmanship
The baklava pastry is layered dozens of times by hand — a technique only achieved through years of accumulated skill. Each stage of the process (dough making, layering, baking, syrup preparation, and more) is handled by a different specialist, meaning each piece of baklava passes through many pairs of expert hands.
Premium Ingredients
Only simple, natural ingredients are used — no preservatives or additives of any kind. Wheat and pistachios are sourced from Turkey through producers the Gullu family has relied on for generations, ensuring the highest quality raw materials. Even when ingredient costs rise, Nadir Gullu has never altered its recipes or substituted key components, upholding its traditional flavor throughout its long history.
Cooking Utensils
The brand's attention to detail extends even to its cooking tools. The rolling pin used to stretch the dough, for example, is made from male pear trees found in a specific region of Turkey. From the starch-dusting brush to the marble tabletop, every item used in production is carefully specified.

About divan
Founded in 1956 in Istanbul, Turkey, divan is a high-end confectionery brand associated with the Koç Group, one of Turkey's largest conglomerates. Widely recognized both domestically and internationally, the brand is known for its delicate sweetness that appeals to Japanese palates, as well as its elegant presentation. These sweets are made in Turkey — a rare find in Japan.

Pistachio Dubai Chocolate — 80g: ¥3,008
Dubai Chocolate is a sensation-style sweet featuring the gentle sweetness of chocolate, rich pistachio, and the satisfying crunch of kadayif pastry. Having gone viral on social media, it has won over fans not only for its striking appearance but also for its indulgent flavor.

Angel Hair Chocolate is an evolution of Dubai Chocolate that has been drawing attention online.

It brings together chocolate, pistachio from the Middle East, and the traditional Middle Eastern sweet pişmaniye into a unique and luxurious combination.
