*The secret behind the deliciousness of “Kasama chestnuts”*
*Part 1: Excellent soil*
Volcanic ash soil with excellent water retention and breathability is suitable for chestnut cultivation.

*Part 2: A climate with a large temperature difference between day and night* Kasama City is a basin surrounded by mountains and has a climate with varying temperatures between day and night. The climate brings out the sweetness of chestnuts.

*Part 3: Accumulated research results*
Through our efforts to improve the variety of chestnuts and to maximize the sugar content of chestnuts, we developed a preservation method called “storage chestnuts” that involves refrigerated ripening, resulting in chestnuts that are much sweeter than normal chestnuts. The desire to “make really delicious chestnuts even if it takes a lot of effort” supports Japan’s No. 1 “Kasama Chestnuts.” *Arrangement recipe*
