About GOTCAN -Locally canned products-

GOTCAN means “Gotouchi (Local) Kanzume (Can)”, or in short, “GOTCAN”

In Japan, there are many things to be known by only the people who live there, things that can only be eaten in the area, things that can not be made except the area.

It is a new souvenir which contains local nice or yummy things that you can only by in its local area’s vending machines, therefore, you cannot buy them in normal stores.
