Kurikinton
When autumn arrives, Japanese confectionery shops in Ena and Nakatsugawa all spring into action. The star of the show is the freshly harvested chestnuts from that year. Kurikinton is a simple Japanese sweet made by kneading steamed chestnuts with a small amount of sugar and squeezing them tightly with a cloth. To preserve the natural flavor of the chestnut, no unnecessary ingredients are added. The artisan's skill is concentrated within its adorable shape, formed using a tea cloth (chakin). Ena and Nakatsugawa are home to famous shops such as 'Suya' and 'Kawakamiya,' and one of the joys is that the flavor varies subtly from shop to shop. Many people enjoy comparing them to find their favorite. The aroma of chestnut that melts in your mouth the moment you taste it is truly the essence of autumn.
