The delicious season of chestnuts. Many sweets made from chestnuts have also appeared, and it's easy to miss them.
Especially recommended is
"Yaki chestnut" from Nijo Wakasaya, Kyoto. A Japanese confectionery made by wrapping a large chestnut kanro-ni in whole chestnut bean paste and baking the surface.
In addition to stores in Kyoto city, it is sold in Kyoto prefecture, some department stores nationwide, and Mitsukoshi's Web shop. Prices start at 800 yen (excluding tax) for 4 pieces.
The round shape and fragrant grilled eyes. Because it is simple, the taste of the material is appetizing.
When you tear the very thin skin "normally", the sweetness of the chestnut-filled white bean paste inside melts and spreads. The sweetness of Japanese sweets, which is light and elegant yet powerful.
Furthermore, the chestnuts that appear from the inside are less sweet, even if they are boiled in Kanro-ni, and are tailored to take advantage of the original flavor of chestnuts. You can also enjoy a pleasant texture. The feeling of luxury to receive the whole thing is irresistible ...!
Please enjoy this autumn as a Japanese sweet that feels more chestnut than the chestnut itself.
