Golden chestnuts whether digging or digging. It's a tremendous amount. How many chestnuts are used? By the way, just like the usual Maron Chantilly, only one sponge cloth was laid on the bottom. The rest is chestnuts and fresh cream.

When you put a big spoon on it ... the chestnut feeling is amazing! The coarsely strained chestnuts crumble in your mouth, and the sweetness of the honey spreads out! It has a Japanese flavor like Kuri-kinton, which is familiar to the Japanese tongue.

The taste and texture of chestnuts and whipped cream are the same as the usual Maron Chantilly, but since they are huge, the ratio of "chestnut 3: whipped cream 1" or "chestnut 1: whipped cream 5" depends on where you eat. You can freely change and enjoy it. Even if you are not a Maron Chantilly fan, you can eat chestnut sweets without any loss because you can just dig up chestnuts and eat them.
