🍱 Kuri no Shibukawani (candied chestnuts with inner skin.)

Hidaka City is a renowned chestnut producing area in Saitama Prefecture that cultivates a variety of brand-name chestnuts, such as “Koraigawa Marron” weighing over 30 grams, and “Hidaka Poron” known for its easily peeled off, astringent skin. During autumn, many people flock to Hidaka City's direct sales centers to purchase chestnuts and their processed products. Customers can choose from various chestnut varieties and buy the ones that best suit their dish. One dish that stands out is “Kuri no Shibukawani (candied chestnuts with inner skin.)”, a luxurious meal that was traditionally served during festivals and celebrations because it required a lot of sugar, which was expensive and precious in the past.
