Kurimushi Youkan
栗むし羊羹

Do you think that steamed chestnut Yokan is a food that has been around for a long time?
In fact, steamed chestnut Yokan is a relatively new Japanese sweet.
Yokan itself has been around since old times.
Eventually, chestnuts were added to the Yokan, but initially, it was common to use chopped chestnuts.
Over time, variations of the Yokan using chopped, whole, halved, candied & sprinkled chestnuts were introduced.
At Akasaka Aono, we intentionally put in a whole chestnut, carefully steamed one by one without chopping them, so you can enjoy the natural taste of the chestnut.
The beauty of Yokan that uses plenty of chestnuts lies in the harmony of the softness of the chestnuts and Yokan, and their subtle sweetness.”
