Chestnut Sweets of Interest in Kyoto

6 Chestnut Sweets of Interest in Kyoto

Autumn is the time to eat chestnuts! With this in mind, the "Leaf" editorial staff thoroughly researched chestnut sweets that are the talk of the town in Kyoto. Once you try them, you will become addicted to them. The charm of chestnut sweets, with their elegant aroma and sweetness, is unfathomable. Here are six choices that you may want to take a short trip to enjoy!

6. Seasonal kompeito [Midori-juan Shimizu] / Demachiyanagi, Tokyo

Founded in 1847, it is said to be the only kompeito specialty store in Japan and the only one in Kyoto that manufactures and sells kompeito. The first generation started making kompeito, and now the fifth generation has taken over the business and continues to preserve the tradition. The spirit of challenge to create something new while preserving the tradition has won the hearts of customers. Among more than 85 varieties of kompeito sugar, including the one at Ginza Midori-juan Shimizu, which opened at the end of last year, the "Ultimate kompeito sugar" series, including red wine, is a popular item that can only be obtained by reservation.

The "roasted chestnut kompeito" (1,800 yen) in September, a seasonal product that can only be enjoyed during that season, such as cherry blossoms in March and yuzu imoshun in October, is a confident creation of the fifth generation who can enjoy the original taste and aroma of chestnuts.
