October is the season for chestnuts, one of autumn's signature flavors, and Daimaru Shinsaibashi is stocking a wide range of chestnut sweets. The store is also presenting the top three most popular items as chosen by this year's new employees.
Customers who buy chestnut sweets can also receive a "Pukkuri Sticker" (ぷっ栗シール) featuring Decchi-kun (でっちーくん), the mascot character of Daimaru Matsuzakaya Department Stores, dressed for autumn in a hat made of a chestnut and a Mont Blanc. The stickers can't be obtained anywhere else, adding a fun touch to choosing autumn chestnut sweets.
