Discover the Unique Flavor of Kasama Chestnuts

JA Town, operated by the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation (JA ZEN-NOH), has recently initiated pre-orders for the exquisite Kasama chestnuts from Ibaraki Prefecture at its shop, "Ii Mono Ippai Hiroba."

Ibaraki Prefecture takes pride in its status as the leading producer of chestnuts in Japan, with Kasama City being a distinctive area known for its optimal cultivation conditions. The region is famous for its volcanic ash soil, which is rich in water retention and air permeability, allowing for ideal growth. The chestnuts produced here thrive in a favorable climate characterized by gentle temperatures and significant day-night temperature differences, resulting in plump and fragrant treats that chestnut lovers cherish.
