Nuts: Nature's Multivitamin


The recipe for Groovy Nuts' signature "Cacao Nuts" (pictured above) begins by slowly melting chocolate in a double boiler, ensuring the temperature doesn't exceed 35 degrees Celsius, before gently drizzling it over freshly roasted mixed nuts. Using a wooden spatula, the chocolate is carefully folded around the nuts, coating them in a thin layer, bit by bit. As the chocolate builds up in layers, cacao powder is added. When the weight of the wooden spatula changes, the cacao nuts are ready.

Nut specialty shops are currently experiencing a boom in New York. Nuts are known as "nature's multivitamins," and their abundant, high-quality nutrients are highly effective for dieting and detoxification.




Another specialty, "Roast Honey Nuts," are flavored nuts baked using only the rich, deeply flavored hyakuka honey collected from the Kyushu region, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and Hiroshima Prefecture. Served slightly warm, they offer the delightful aroma and texture of freshly baked nuts. In summer, chilling them in the refrigerator enhances their crispness, making them even more delicious.

Furthermore, Groovy Nuts' original "Nut Smoothies" contain no added sugar or additives and use at least two types of nuts. Available in two sizes, Regular (400cc) for 600 yen and Shot (170cc) for 300 yen, their flavors are perfectly suited for daily enjoyment by Japanese palates.

Groovy Nuts offers fresh roasted nuts, flavored varieties like honey, cacao, and bacon smoke, and fresh smoothies. It's the perfect spot to visit during a stroll or date in "Nakame."
