Kuri-iri Ocha Yokan

Shizuoka tea and luxurious chestnut yokan. The package is cute.

Miura Seika, located in Shimada City, Shizuoka Prefecture, makes many confections using its famous tea leaves. One of their most popular products is “Kuri-iri Ocha Yokan” (Tea Yokan with Chestnuts).

Yokan comes in a cute tube-shaped package.

Open the top lid like this and push it out from the bottom. The appearance is somewhat cute.

It contains a tremendous amount of tea leaves, and the yokan itself is dyed the color of tea.

You can see a faint yellowish substance in the center of the yokan, which is a chestnut.

When I cut it in half to check, I found a whole piece in it. And it’s a big one.

The yokan with tea leaves in it had a slightly bitter, yet refreshing taste, and the sweet chestnuts were a luxurious taste with a great presence.
