Kasama is the number one producer of chestnuts in Japan🌰 The spilling Mont Blanc from Kasama was so delicious!

While sightseeing in Hitachi and Kasama, I stopped by a cafe called "Kuri no Ie"🌰 in Kasama, Ibaraki Prefecture, which boasts the largest chestnut production in Japan!!!

I happened to come across this cafe, and was drawn in by their delicious-looking Mont Blanc.🍽️

Both eat-in and takeout are available, but since it's a very popular cafe, the overflowing Mont Blanc for eat-in was sold out.🥲

They still had some overflowing Mont Blanc for take-out, so I enjoyed that inside.✨

~ ... Please check with the store to see what flavor of iced tea is available that day!!!

This Mont Blanc was made by shaving chestnuts instead of squeezing them to preserve the chestnut flavor. It was fluffy, and the sweet, delicious chestnut flavor spread throughout my mouth. It was absolutely delicious...🤤

It was the best Mont Blanc I've ever had!!
At the bottom was something like almond-flavored meringue?
The crunchy texture and nutty flavor were just amazing.

The store is apparently famous for its overflowing Mont Blanc served on a plate,
but apparently there's a limited number available without a reservation,
so I'll definitely make a reservation next time!

This is a must-visit restaurant for your trip to Ibaraki! 🌰
