Kakegawa Chestnut Mont Blanc Minori is a very popular fall sweet that sold over 10,000 pieces last season. We aim to revitalize the region by doing everything from cultivation to processing and manufacturing within the prefecture.
Takoman Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kikugawa City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Representative Director: Makoto Maebori) will release “Kakegawa Chestnut Mont Blanc Minori” on September 7, 2024, where you can enjoy chestnuts from its own farm “Kuri Kurien” (Ono, Kakegawa City). It will be on sale for a limited time from Saturday).
This year, which marks the third year since Kurien’s in-house farm, all post-harvest processing is done within the prefecture, resulting in Mont Blanc that is fresher and can contribute to regional revitalization.

I want to protect local treasures ▶︎We will become our own farm in 2021 “Kuri Kurien” reached its third harvest season on August 28, 2024. Kakegawa is one of the leading chestnut producing areas in Japan, and is truly a “regional treasure.” However, in recent years, the number of producers has been decreasing due to the aging population and lack of contributors. In order to solve this problem, in 2021 we turned the contracted chestnut farm “Kuri Kurien”, which was considering going out of business, into our own farm, which is currently managed by Takoman employees.

The year before last, in 2022, we shipped 2,980 kg, and last year, in 2023, we shipped 1,989 kg. The employees in charge manage the area on a daily basis to coexist with nature, such as extreme heat and typhoons, so that they can deliver the deliciousness of Kakegawa chestnuts.
By operating our own farm, we not only solve the problem of a lack of successors, but also have the advantage of shortening the reach time from harvest to processing, and being able to deliver fresh, safe, and quality products.
We also hold in-house training every month for our sales staff to learn about chestnut orchard management, and we are working to spread the appeal of Kakegawa chestnuts from within the company.

●“Mont Blanc Paste” allows you to enjoy chestnuts from Kurikurien with its unique thickness
Mont Blanc Paste uses 100% chestnuts from Kurikurien. The Mont Blanc paste, which retains the soft texture of chestnuts, cannot be squeezed with a regular nozzle, so it is squeezed using a custom-made nozzle. [Image 6

●“Kakegawa chestnuts with astringent skin” marinated in honey and aged for 1 year
I put in a whole candied fish that has been pickled in honey for a year with its astringent skin. Marinating for a year allows the honey to penetrate to the core, bringing out the deliciousness of the chestnuts.
