To provide a one-side glazed kraft paper having a tensile strength, a tear strength, a size degree, and a thickness nearly equal to the paper having a basis weight one standard upper than that defined in JIS P 3401 kraft paper grade 3.

The one-side glazed kraft paper having a basis weight of 50-140 g/m2 is produced using 5 wt.% or more mechanical pulp based on the raw material pulp, adding 0.3-0.8 mass% polyacrylamide-based strengthening agent for paper and 0.05-0.50 mass% acidic rosin sizing agent to the raw material pulp, and regulating the Bekk smoothness conforming to JIS P 8119 so as to be 30-50 sec on the front surface side (glazed side) and 10-20 sec on the back surface side (unglazed side).
