Opening on October 10, 2019, Kinshi Montblanc specialty store. As the name "Sa," meaning thin, transparent silk fabric, and "Ori," meaning "weave," meaning "folded over one by one," the mont blanc is folded over with a fineness of 1 mm. The freshly pressed Mont Blanc, made to order, is available in two varieties: "sha" (2,200 yen), made from the finest Tanba chestnut, and "ro" (1,800 yen), made from domestic Japanese chestnuts. Genuine fresh cream made from raw milk produced in Hokkaido goes well with the Japanese chestnuts and enhances their mellow aroma. Come and taste the delicate flavor.

［After 40 years of working at Blanc Blanc and other pastry shops, patissier Mr. Nishida opened a cafe in his birthplace as the second stage of his life. The cafe offers freshly made sweets such as apple pie and Mont Blanc that are made with the finest ingredients. The Mont Blanc for 800 yen, which has been the talk of the town in various media, has a shelf life of 10 minutes after completion because the baked meringue inside contains water, which changes the texture. Enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth goodness to the fullest.

It has been about 100 years since it was split from a long-established shop of the same name that was founded in Sonobe. With the motto of "keeping the natural flavor as it is," this chestnut confectionery expresses the deliciousness of large Tanba chestnuts in a variety of confections. Its signature products include chestnut natto (fermented soybeans), golden nuts, and chestnut dorayaki (baked dumplings with chestnuts). Chestnut o-hagi (220 yen), which is eagerly awaited by all regular customers, is an autumn-only sweet made from Tanba chestnuts carefully backed with sugar and wrapped in chestnut red bean paste and rice cakes. The quantity is limited, so it is better to make a reservation by phone before visiting the store.

Under the concept of "Japanese spirit with Western sensibility," the new sweets incorporate Japanese ingredients such as soy sauce, soybean flour, and sake. The newest addition is the PREMIUM Tanba Chestnut Mont Blanc, which consists of marron ganache, cream with rum, and brûlée on a gâteau chocolat base, wrapped in a special two-color marron paste.

This shop is famous for chestnut confections made by the owner who loves Tanba chestnuts. The overwhelmingly popular item is the chestnut terrine (4,250 yen), whose cross section is filled to the brim with candied chestnuts. In addition to the chestnuts, which are the main ingredient, the terrine is made with high-quality ingredients such as Sanuki Mitani's Wasanbon sugar, aromatic Japanese fermented butter, and mineral-rich salt from Awaguni, Okinawa, without any additives. The elegant exterior, built in the Taisho Era (1912-1926), is also a wonderful sight, and is recommended as a stopover spot during your travels.

Founded in 1847, it is said to be the only kompeito specialty store in Japan and the only one in Kyoto that manufactures and sells kompeito. The first generation started making kompeito, and now the fifth generation has taken over the business and continues to preserve the tradition. The spirit of challenge to create something new while preserving the tradition has won the hearts of customers. Among more than 85 varieties of kompeito sugar, including the one at Ginza Midori-juan Shimizu, which opened at the end of last year, the "Ultimate kompeito sugar" series, including red wine, is a popular item that can only be obtained by reservation.
