These delectable sweets are created by simply mashing fresh chestnuts, boiling them with sugar, and then shaping them dry with a tea cloth so that the final product resembles that of a chestnut.
Kurikinton's simple yet delightful combination of ingredients brings out the natural chestnut flavor and offers a refined sweetness, making it a perfect complement to tea or coffee.
Kurikinton were thought of to be created in southeast Gifu, an area known for producing high-quality chestnuts, where many historical confectionaries continue to sell their sweets to this very day.
This refined chestnut treat is something you don’t want to miss!
