Fukudome Kiksuido: Baked Chestnut
This is a handmade Japanese sweet from Kochi City that luxuriously uses rare Shimanto chestnuts, which are said to have a sugar content of over 30 degrees. The chestnuts are processed into a paste, shaped like chestnuts, coated with egg, and baked to a golden brown. The fragrant toasted color is highly appetizing. Produced by Fukudome Kiksuido, an established shop that opened its doors in Atago-cho, Kochi City, in 1951. Each piece is finished by hand by skilled artisans. You can enjoy a mysterious mouthfeel where three textures—chewy, fluffy, and moist—overlap all at once. It pairs excellently with hojicha or genmaicha. This is a dish that allows you to taste the dense sweetness of chestnuts nurtured by the Shimanto River, along with the care of meticulous handwork.
