Kamei Seika Chestnut Tart
In Ehime, when people say 'Tart,' they are referring to this sweet rolled into the shape of the character 'no' (の). Kamei Seika's Chestnut Tart is a flagship product that features chestnuts in this traditional local confection passed down in Matsuyama. It is said that the origin of Ehime's tart dates back to the Edo period, when the lord of the Matsuyama clan, Sadanari Matsudaira, encountered Nanban (Western) sweets in Nagasaki and brought the recipe back. Eventually, it evolved into a Japanese sweet combined with Shikoku's specialty, yuzu. Kamei Seika's Chestnut Tart consists of smooth red bean paste flavored with yuzu, sprinkled with chopped chestnuts, and rolled into the 'no' shape using soft, moist castella sponge cake. Each piece is pre-cut into 11 slices, making it one of the two major signature sweets alongside Botchan Dango. This pride of Matsuyama features the overlapping aromas of yuzu and the gentle sweetness of chestnut. Please enjoy it slowly with a cup of tea.
