Obusedo Honten

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.
