I bought chestnut powder, chestnut kinton, and moon drops.
As expected, it was very delicious.
The chestnuts were the type with some grains remaining.
I heard that reservations are required for chestnut flour, so I made a reservation by phone the day before.
They were prompt and courteous both on the phone and during the delivery.
There are a variety of Japanese sweets that match the season, so you'll never get bored. It's a taste that I want to eat every day.
