Natural Kyoto locals say that nothing but Tanba Kuri (chestnuts) are chestnuts. The unit price of Kyoto-grown chestnuts is 3-4 times higher than in other areas of Japan.
I love chestnuts so much that I once compared Kyoto-grown and Fukuoka-grown chestnuts. However, I could not tell the difference in taste.
I wonder if the price of Kyoto-grown chestnuts is a brand or pride, I think as I eat Kyoto-grown chestnut rice.
November is the month of autumn leaves. Autumn leaves in Kyoto are the only place in the world where they intersect with temples. I will report on that in November.
