Kasho Fugetsu Manyokan Iinuma

A luxurious steamed chestnut yokan generously filled with rare Iinuma chestnuts from Ibaraki, one of Japan’s leading chestnut-growing regions. Paired with sweet bean paste made from Hokkaido azuki beans, it offers a rich harmony of chestnut sweetness, aroma and texture. Made using a distinctive two-stage steaming method, this handcrafted yokan lets you enjoy two different chestnut textures in one bar, making it an elegant gift and a deeply satisfying treat.

About Iinuma Chestnuts:
Iinuma chestnuts are grown by only eight farmers in Japan using a special method known as one burr, one fruit, where each burr produces just one large chestnut. Their distribution accounts for only 0.2% of chestnuts circulated nationwide. After harvest, they are matured for two weeks to bring out their natural sweetness and aroma. They are exceptionally rare and were the first chestnuts in Japan to receive official GI protection.

Fair Trade with Producers:
Iinuma chestnuts are cultivated through meticulous care, from strict production control to low-temperature maturation and repeated sorting. Even so, the work behind them is not always reflected in market prices. We believe in continuing to buy through dialogue and long-term relationships rather than forcing prices down. By choosing this product, you help support growers and the future of this remarkable local ingredient.
