Kuri-maru
Japanese notation "栗まる"
“Kuri-maru” by Saiundo in Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture, is a luxurious chestnut confectionary that shows the depth of tradition and skill of Matsue, which is famous as a confectionary town.
Beautiful packaging made with the texture of Japanese paper, it seems to depict a chestnut tree in a variety of colors. The colors are so beautiful that it is a waste to open the package.
It is wrapped in plastic and tied with string at the top.
The outside is not manju skin, but the texture itself is like red bean paste.
There is a whole chestnut inside. The contrast is beautiful and elegant.
One bite reveals a fine, soft sweetness. The balance is created so that the sweetness of the honey-soaked chestnuts is enhanced. It is indeed the work of a confectioner in Matsue, a city famous for its confectionery.
