This shaved ice is made with chestnuts harvested this fall. Hidden at the bottom is a flavorful chestnut red bean paste. The new domestic chestnuts are combined with white bean paste made from Toraya's original white azuki beans, "Fukutora Shiro", which has a mild and elegant taste and a light aftertaste.

It is topped with ice, topped with homemade wasanbon molasses, and then sprinkled with grated chestnuts to resemble moonlight. Finally, chestnut mizu-yokan and shiratama (white rice balls) reminiscent of tsukimi-dango (dumplings for moon viewing) are added. The taste of chestnuts spreads softly in the mouth, reminding us of the coming of autumn, a taste that is only available during this season.
