It’s the season for chestnuts to be delicious!

My favorite season of chestnuts has arrived! The season of chestnuts is right now around September,
They reach their peak and remain on the market until around November.

They are popularly known as the “seasonal delicacy” only available in autumn.

In autumn, there are many delicious fruits such as grapes, persimmons, pears, persimmons, apples, kiwis, La France, and other fruits that are only available in this season.
and a parade of delicious fruits unique to this time of the year.

Today, my relative’s aunt in Wakayama sent very large chestnuts to my home.
I opened it and immediately saw the beautifully shiny chestnuts.

As soon as I opened the package, I was surprised to see large chestnuts with a beautiful glossy appearance! The chestnuts were so big and shiny that they were about to fall out of the package.
They were so big and shiny that they were spilling out of the chestnuts.

I have loved a cake called “Mont Blanc” since I was a child, until my early elementary school years.
I always remembered chestnuts as “Mont Blanc” by mistake.

As you know, the name comes from the fact that it was made to resemble the Mont Blanc mountain in the Alps (the highest peak in France and Italy).
The cake is called this because it is made to resemble the mountain of Mont Blanc (the highest peak in France and Italy) in the Alps, right?

But to me, it didn’t look like a “white mountain,” which is what the mountain range means, and I thought it looked like a yellow marron on top.
It looks more like “a small soft serve ice cream with yellow buttons” with yellow marrons on top.
It looks like “a small soft serve ice cream with a yellow button” with a yellow marron on top.

≪Mont Blanc” should be “Mont Blanc” because it reminds me of “a beautiful mountain covered with white snow,” but recently, “Mont Blanc” has a yellow chestnut on top.
But nowadays, there are many “mont-brown” pastries with “brown” chestnuts and brown cream instead of “yellow” chestnuts.
However, many “mont-brown” pastries are now available in the market.

In Japan, Montblancs of various shapes and colors are increasingly available.

Overseas,
Mont Blanc, the shape of Mont Blanc in Italy is slightly different from that of Mont Blanc in France.
Mont Blanc in Italy and Mont Blanc in France are slightly different.

The key question is, “What kind of chestnuts are good and tasty?” I will tell you how to identify those “chestnuts.

• The devil’s skin (outer hard skin) is taut and shiny.
• The onion skin should be dark brown, not flaky, and have a smooth surface.
• It is not buzzy when pressed with fingers. It is OK if it has a weighty feeling as if it is tightly packed.
• No white fuzz on it.
• There is no dark spot on the seat (bottom part).
• The seat is not sticky.

And there are many western confections named “marron~” such as “marron chocolat,” “marron cake,” “marron parfait,” “marron sandy,” and “marron glacé.

The “food event” is based on the theme of chestnuts,

• You will taste the secrets of the deliciousness of Mont Blanc from each of the three countries: France, Italy, and Japan.
• This is not just an eating party. First, we will compare Japanese chestnuts. We will compare Japanese chestnuts from various regions. Among them, we will compare several varieties carefully selected by patissier ).
• Since the harvest time differs depending on the region, the Japanese chestnuts are vacuum-packed as they are, and only when all the chestnuts are ready are they cooked together.
