Walnuts

As a dipping sauce for soba, in ohagi, and in mochi. These are the walnuts of Tomu City, indispensable to the food culture of Shinshu. Nagano Prefecture boasts the highest walnut production in Japan, and Tomu City is one of its primary producing regions. The low rainfall and sunny climate are perfect for walnut cultivation. The 'Shinano Walnut,' characterized by its thin shell that is easy to crack, is known for its rich flavor and aroma. Soba served with 'walnut sauce' made by grinding these nuts is a delicacy unique to Shinshu, with a mellow sweetness and fragrant aroma spreading through the mouth. Whether enjoyed as a snack on their own or used in sweets, their fragrant and rich flavor gently colors your everyday dining table.
