Kyotanba

Ingredients & Seasonings
Japanese sweets

The demonstration sales in the storefront will make you stop in your tracks. Kyotanba sells mainly roasted chestnuts and other products from Tanba, an area northwest of Kyoto City famous for its agricultural produce, and its signature product, "Yakipon," is made with an improved version of the old-fashioned grain-puffing machine, using only carefully selected chestnuts, and roasted to a fragrant, sweet flavor. It is healthy because it is additive-free, maintaining the natural flavor. The chestnuts can be easily removed from their shells. Please enjoy the full flavor of the natural chestnuts.

As the "Tanba" in the store name implies, Tanba chestnuts are on display in the store in autumn. The peeled chestnuts are especially popular.

Before New Year's, black soybeans from Tanba for osechi (New Year’s cuisine) will also arrive.

Their black soybean tea is made using a special pressurization method, leaving the black soybean flavor intact, and is finished with special deep-roasting, resulting in an aromatic, one-of-a-kind tea.
