Our commitment to ingredients

Japanese chestnuts

We use 100% fresh chestnuts grown in Kasama, Ibaraki, which is about 60 minutes by car from our store and boasts the largest harvest in Japan.

We are particular about freshly picked and peeled chestnuts, and send fresh chestnuts directly to our customers every day so as not to spoil the flavor of the new chestnuts.

Steamed Yokan (red bean)

We carefully select azuki beans harvested in the vast Tokachi Plain in Hokkaido, which have a rich original flavor.

In order to enhance the flavor of Japanese chestnuts, we carefully adjust the method of making our homemade bean paste, and exquisitely adjust the astringent cut and the boiling time.

Simple ingredients

Only chestnuts, azuki beans, sugar, flour, starch, and salt are used.

We do not add any preservatives, coloring agents, or any other unnecessary additives, and strive to make our sweets additive-free, safe, and secure.

Limited production period

The chestnut harvest season lasts approximately two months. We produce chestnut steamed yokan for a limited time only to coincide with this short season.

You can enjoy the taste of "only now".



Craftsmanship and attention to detail

The yokan dough is made by hand, which allows for delicate adjustments and fine-tuning according to the temperature and humidity.

The craftsman's experience and intuition are utilized to achieve the best texture and feel in the mouth every day.
