    Gifu Kamo-gun Yaotsu Cho Yaotsu 4096-1
    "A long standing Japanese confectionary shop located a three-minute walk from the Yaotsu Town Hall. The shop continues to make confections according to secret recipes never taken off the premises and handed down parent to child. The shop's specialty kuri kinton is a popular and simple gem with a mildly sweet sugar taste and rich chestnut flavor. Because they are made with fresh picked chestnuts, they are a seasonal item only offered from late August through early April. The shop also carries an abundant variety of products offered year round, like ""Kuritamadare"" kuri kinton wrapped in gyuhi, and ""Kurimu Daifuku"" candied chopped chestnut kuri kinton mixed with fresh cream."

    朝一に来店したのですが、中々店員の方が出られづ店主の年配女性が対応して頂きましたが、横柄な接客態度、非常識な梱包に怒りを覚えました。
