How to make KURIKINTON (chestnuts sweets) & Chestnuts Mochi 〜栗きんとん〜 | easy Japanese home cooking
In this video, I am showing how to make Kurikinton (chestnuts sweets) & Mochi with Chestnuts paste filling. It does take some time and effort to make these, but the process is actually easy and defiantly worth the time.
Kurikinton is a specialty for our Tokai region, more specifically of Gifu Prefecture. This can only be made in the autumn season, since this can only be made of fresh chestnuts.
In my Channel, I show step by step of alternative but authentic Japanese home cooking, which can be made with the ingredients that are easily available outside of Japan.
Ingredients for Aluminum foil baked salmon
Chestnuts paste (6-8 pieces of Kurikinton)
- Chestnuts (cooked and carved) 150 g
- Sugar 2 Tbsp (30 g)
- Water 2 Tbsp (30 g)
*the amount of sugar and water should be 20 % of the cooked chestnuts.
Mochi dough (4 pieces)
- Mochiko (Glutinous rice flour) 4 Tbsp
- Water 4 Tbsp
- Sugar 4 Tsp
- Starch (to prevent the Mochi from sticking) 1-2 Tbsp
