What is Garrett Popcorn? | A long-established brand from Chicago that has been around for over 80 years
Garrett Popcorn Shops is a popcorn specialty brand founded in 1949 in Chicago, USA.
The secret recipe and artisanal handiwork handed down since the company's founding have attracted popcorn fans from all over the world.
Characteristic of the brand is that it is carefully handmade in small batches using carefully selected corn. A wide variety of flavors, such as aromatic caramel and rich cheese, make it the perfect gift.

Looking for a Father's Day gift for 2025, I went to Garrett's Popcorn Shops in Harajuku.
It was around 2:00 p.m. on Saturday when I visited, and although the store was busy, everything went smoothly from ordering to pickup.
I purchased the "1 Gallon Art Sauce," which comes in three popular flavors.
The cans are filled to order, and the freshly made aroma can be felt.
Flavors that were included inside
- Caramel Crisp™: Garrett's signature classic flavor. It has a full-bodied sweetness and crispy texture.
- Cheese Cone: A salty flavor made with authentic cheddar cheese. Exquisite when alternated with caramel.
- Mild Salt: A simple, light salty type. A versatile flavor that you will never get tired of.
Types and sizes of cans
- There are three can sizes: quart / 1 gallon / 2 gallon.
- The 1-gallon can purchased this time is the volume of two M-size paper BAGs!
- It has a shelf life of about 10 days, making it perfect for gift giving.
I chose Garrett's iconic Signature Blue tin. The bright blue color is lovely and looks luxurious.

In addition to cans, they are also sold in paper bags in four sizes: S / M / L / J.

Garrett Popcorn Harajuku does not offer delivery service from the store.
However, we brought it to a nearby Yamato Transport office immediately after purchase and were able to have it shipped in a choice of box sizes.
Handbags are available for a fee, and the solid material makes them perfect for gift-giving. In my case, the size was ¥60.
This style is also recommended for those who want to do their own wrapping and shipping as a Father's Day gift.
