Kogetsuan Kuri-man (Chestnut Manju)
A chestnut manju made by Kogetsuan, a long-established shop in Shimodate, Chikusei City, Ibaraki Prefecture. This autumnal treat is unique to this shop, which carefully selects ingredients such as Okuji Egg and Tokachi red beans to prioritize handmade bean paste. Using moist dough made with Okuji Eggs paired with elegant white bean paste, a whole chestnut is luxuriously encased and baked. Each piece is carefully prepared so that the sweetness of the elegant white bean paste (made from white kidney beans) harmonizes with the soft-cooked chestnut. When you break open the moist dough, a fluffy chestnut appears from within the smooth white bean paste. It is a calm Japanese sweet where the quality of the ingredients shines, making you feel the essence of the harvest season.
