"Kamakura Kairin-dong" is a famous tea and pastry shop with its main store in Kamakura. One of the signature products is the original baked confectionery "Patron".

A sweet made by baking mashed chestnuts and coating them with chocolate. I bought a pack of 4 with 4 flavors. The price is 1,500 yen. It comes in a navy-based gold logo or a shining luxury box.


When you open the box, a patron wrapped in gold paper appears. It looks like a golden egg.


◆ Chocolat Noah
Marron with mashed astringent skin is baked with rum and coated with Swiss black chocolate. A perfect balance of sweet marron and bitter chocolate. The rum that remains slightly aftertaste leaves an elegant finish.



◆ Chocolate ole
Mashed marron is baked with fresh butter and fresh cream, and coated with Swiss milk chocolate. The chocolate on the outside is thin, and when you raise your teeth, it cracks crisply and immediately touches the marron. The inside is moist and has a mild marron flavor. Combined with the deep richness of butter and chocolate, the finish is a marron version of sweet potato.


◆ Matcha
Add fresh cream and butter to mashed marron, bake it moist, and coat it with matcha chocolate. Elegant sweetness using Wasanbon. A Japanese taste that blends the taste of matcha with the subtle astringency of marron.


◆ White chocolate
The mellow sweetness coated with white chocolate is impressive. It has a delicate mouthfeel but a very rich taste. It goes well with black coffee.


"Patron" in Kairin-dong where you can enjoy the luxurious co-starring of chocolate and chestnuts. The luxurious appearance is perfect as a souvenir for loved ones.
