Last update :

Set in the Obuse, the birthplace of chestnut treats in Japan, this long-standing confectionery has been selling chestnut-based goodies ever since the Meiji Period. Just like its start over a century ago, this shop continues to serve up traditional chestnut goodness made with pure chestnut paste, with treats like Kuri-kanoko, chestnut yokan, rakugan and more. Each treat is made without any additives, just chestnuts and sugar for a smooth chestnut paste that keeps in all the delicious flavor.

Inside the shop you’ll even find an eat-in space to try the delicious treats. In addition to freshly made chestnut treats, there’s even a Japanese food course with seasonal ingredients that update every month.

One especially recommended treat is the Matcha and Yokurigashi set for 700 yen, which comes with matcha green tea and your choice of seasonal chestnut treats, like namagashi, kuri-kanoko, chestnut yokan and more. In the summer there’s an extra special shaved-ice with house-special chestnut sauce, and in the fall there’s Kuri no Yoshin “Phoenix”, made with fresh chestnuts only available in fall, as just a few examples of their seasonal specials. No trip to Obuse is complete without a stop here.
