Tanba Chestnut (Kyotamba)
"When it comes to chestnuts, it's Tanba chestnuts" — a specialty of Kyotamba Town that has captivated people for over a thousand years since the Heian period. Large, glossy, and fluffy with a sweet flavor, they are truly the king of autumn flavors. Records in the 'Engishiki', a collection of laws from the Heian period, show that chestnuts were presented to the Imperial Court from Tanba Province. In Tanba, which had deep connections with the nobility, cultivation techniques were refined early on, passing down the tradition of large-sized chestnuts. It is said that their fame spread throughout the country during the Edo period. Having become well-known in the Keihanshin region, they are now a famous autumn delicacy known nationwide. With a fluffy texture and rich sweetness—whether in chestnut rice or Japanese confectionery—please enjoy the taste of Tanba's autumn to your heart's content.
