Discover the Delights of Tamba Chestnuts from Hyogo

As autumn approaches, the excitement grows with the arrival of seasonal treats, particularly the remarkable Tamba chestnuts, a staple of Japanese cuisine. From August 20, 2026, the online store "Assemble Hyogo" hosted by JA Town will commence pre-orders for these prized chestnuts. Famously cherished since ancient times, Tamba chestnuts have graced the tables of the imperial court and samurai leaders, earning their title as the "king of chestnuts".

The Exceptional Qualities of Tamba Chestnuts

Tamba chestnuts are known for their large size, attractive appearance, and rich sweetness. The unique climate of the Tamba region, characterized by significant temperature variations between day and night, plays a crucial role in developing the chestnuts' firm texture and concentrated sweetness. These environmental conditions nurture the chestnuts to deliver an unmatched flavor that captivates chestnut enthusiasts.

Safety Comes First

At JA Tamba Hikami, a commitment to safety and quality is paramount. Instead of using chemicals, they employ the innovative method of "warm-water sterilization" before shipment. By immersing the chestnuts in 50-degree water for 30 minutes, they effectively prevent insect infestations while also eliminating defective nuts. This meticulous approach ensures that only the best chestnuts reach consumers.

Rigorous Quality Control Process

The quality of Tamba chestnuts can be attributed to a comprehensive control system at JA Tamba Hikami. The process includes:
1. Harvesting: Chestnuts are carefully collected from local farms.
2. Sorting: Only the most perfectly-shaped chestnuts are selected and categorized based on size.
3. Sterilization: The warm-water method guarantees safety.
4. Drying: Chestnuts are evenly dried to enhance their quality.
5. Shell Polishing: To improve visual appeal and hygiene.
6. Inspection: Each chestnut is thoroughly checked for any defects.
7. Packaging: Careful packing to prevent damage during transport.
8. Shipping: Precise and timely delivery to ensure freshness.

This year, in a special initiative, customers can enjoy the Tamba chestnuts in the exclusive "2L size, 2kg" package without any shipping charges. It's an irresistible offer that lets you indulge in the delectable flavors of Tamba chestnuts, perfect for making chestnut rice, roasted chestnuts, or delightful desserts.
