Kurikinton
Just like in Nakatsugawa and Ena, chestnut wagashi (Japanese sweets) enliven the storefronts of Yaozu when autumn arrives. Kurikinton is an autumnal delicacy made by steaming fresh new chestnuts and finishing them immediately. The principle is to use a minimal amount of sugar to maximize the aroma and sweetness of the chestnuts themselves. In Yaozu Town, shops such as 'Midoriya Shinise' prepare them, shaping them into adorable forms using chakin (cloth). Kurikinton begins appearing in shops all at once around September 9th, during the 'Kuri Sekku' (Chestnut Festival). A local autumn pleasure is tasting them while checking the quality of that year's new chestnuts. Once you take a bite, the aroma of chestnut gently melts in your mouth. It is a seasonal delicacy that you wouldn't want to miss during its short peak season.
