Tanba Chestnut (Fukuchiyama)
When you crack open a fluffy steamed chestnut, the golden flesh crumbles gently. As it touches your palate, an elegant sweetness and rich aroma spread softly. Tanba chestnuts are the quintessential Japanese chestnut grown in the Tanba region of Kyoto. So much so that they are often called 'the' Tanba chestnut; they are known for their large size and beautiful luster, serving as a synonym for the finest chestnuts in Japan. The name of chestnuts appears as a specialty of Tanba even in the 'Engishiki,' a legal code from the Heian period, and it is said that their reputation spread throughout the country via samurai traveling during the Edo period's Sankin-kotai system. Fukuchiyama is also known as a 'town of sweets,' lined with famous confectioneries that use Tanba chestnuts. It is a luxurious taste packed with the essence of autumn's harvest.
