Have you heard of Seijo Ishii's "Peanut Tsukune"? It is an original product found in the Japanese sweets section along with rice crackers, etc., but despite its unassuming appearance, it is extremely delicious, so we would like to introduce it to you.

Seijo Ishii "Peanut Tsukune

Roasted peanuts and persimmon seeds are mixed together and hardened with water syrup. The word "tsukune" conjures up images of chicken, but the word originally comes from "tsukuneru," meaning to knead and roll into a ball, so this kind of tsukune is also possible.


Thus, the tsukune with peanuts and persimmon seeds. Only large peanuts are used; each bag contains 270 grams and is priced at 450 yen (excluding tax).


Each piece is large and has a firm bite. You can feel a sense of accomplishment as you gradually break them into pieces. It is very toothsome.



The flavor is dominated by the savory richness of peanuts. The moderate sweetness of the kaki no tane and mizuame comes and goes, but the seasoning itself is moderate. You can enjoy the bland taste of peanuts and persimmon seeds.


Although it has a lot of calories (497 kcal per 100 g) because it is made by mixing kaki peas with syrup, even a piece of it is a satisfying and satisfying snack. Why not try it as a snack or a tea-time relish, adding stimulation not by its strong taste but by its texture?
