Topped with a huge chestnut boiled in astringent skin! I heard that a parfait that makes the hearts of chestnut lovers is offered, so I went to eat at the dining bar "Daitabashi Bar awaited" (Suginami-ku, Tokyo) in Tokyo.


The "Ena Waguri Mont Blanc Parfait" (850 yen) is one of the menus being developed at the "Ena Fair". A parfait made with chestnuts harvested in Ena City, Gifu Prefecture, one of Japan's leading chestnut producing areas (the owner's parents' house!).

The famous confectionery in this area is "Kuri-kinton". This Kuri-kinton is a simple confectionery made by carefully cooking fresh chestnuts and a little sugar and squeezing them. It tastes as simple as eating chestnuts! It's a taste that can only be produced with fresh chestnuts.


In this parfait, in addition to the "Kuri-kinton" handmade at the shop, a large simmered astringent skin is also made from "Enaguri" that was harvested at home.


Boiled astringent skin that sits on top, lighter than you can imagine. It's clean and goes well with sweet pastes. Western liquor is used, so it may be closer to glasse. And, needless to say, it's good to eat.



Below that, various sweetness and bitterness are mixed and mixed !! Various expressions appear depending on the combination. Especially, marron paste x caramelize x roasted green tea ice cream and roasted green tea ice cream x kuri-kinton x vanilla ice cream are very nice. Kuri-kinton's chestnut flavor is as good as ice cream.

The sponge cake after that is said to be baked like castella with plenty of eggs to match the parfait. And finally, this is another handmade rare cheesecake. It's a device to refresh the mouth.

It was a parfait where you can eat refreshingly while the main character, Enaguri, is playing an active role.


By the way, this shop is a dining bar full of wine. It's not a sweets shop or cafe. I wondered why desserts are so authentic ... Actually, the owner is from a confectionery school. For that reason, he said that he made it with the utmost effort in the "Ena Fair" menu.


The "Ena Fair" is scheduled to be held until November 30 as part of the "Woman Castle Lord's Village Iwamura" campaign. However, the sale of parfait will end as soon as the astringent skin is gone. It seems that you can order only the parfait, so how about a night treat sweets? It looks good to combine with wine.
