Akasaka Aono Chestnut Mushi-Yokan

Featuring large, tender pieces of chestnut enclosed within. This chestnut steamed yokan (sweet bean jelly) offers an elegant harmony between the soft jelly and the gentle sweetness of the chestnuts. Produced by Aono, a long-established shop in Akasaka. Since its founding in 1899, this Japanese confectionery shop has remained dedicated to the art of making anko (sweet bean paste). Starting as a candy store selling treats like hard candies, it grew into a mochi shop specializing in daifuku and yokan, and is now widely known as 'Akasaka Mochi.' The long-refined techniques support the gentle flavor of this steamed yokan. It is a delightful treat where the fluffy texture of chestnuts meets the moist, steamed jelly. An elegant taste that makes you feel the arrival of autumn.
