Guri Nose (Ginyose)
When it comes to the flavors of autumn, chestnuts are king. Nose Town is the birthplace of 'Ginyose,' a representative chestnut variety of Japan. It all began in 1753, during the mid-Edo period, when a resident of Utagaki Village planted chestnuts brought back from Hiroshima, and one particular tree produced exceptionally high-quality fruit. It is said that the name 'Ginyose' comes from the fact that during the Great Tenmei Famine, these chestnuts were sold at such high prices that they earned 'silver notes' (gin-satsu). Characterized by their large size, sweetness, and a heavy, flattened shape, their quality is high enough to be used in premium confections like marron glacé and kuri kinton. Every single nut, with its fluffy texture when broken, is packed with the richness of the autumn harvest. Chestnut picking also remains a beloved way to enjoy the beauty of autumn in Nose.
