Noji-no-Sato

A cute pastry like "Roasted Kuri-kinton".

“Noji-no-Sato” made by Kameya Yoshinaga, a long-established confectioner, established in 1803  in Kyoto,  is a baked sweet, which includes mixing chestnut paste and white bean jam.

The package has autumnal hues and a cute illustration of chestnuts. It is their autumnal standard products sold since 1990.

It is a bite-sized pastry. They are baked more firmly than expected, and burnt portion can be seen on the surface.

It is a pastry made of pasted chestnut and white bean-jam, so it is similar texture to “Kuri-kinton”  , mashed sweet potato with chestnuts.

The gentle sweetness spreads and crumbles easily in my mouth.  It is like a baked Kuri-kinton, and tastes the fragrant aroma of chestnuts.  Chestnuts is harvested in autumn so that we can enjoy the seasonal confectionery.
