I read that "Tianjin Chestnuts" is very popular in Japan. At the beginning, I just thought chestnuts were imported from Tianjin, China. Thus, it was called "Tianjin Chestnuts".

In fact, the chestnuts in Japan is different, according to the news. All chestnuts in Japan are called Tianjin Chestnuts. So far, no one knows why it is called Tianjin chestnuts.

Do you know something about Tianjin Chestnuts?

Xiaoxiao,

Maybe members from Japan can answer your question. It must has something to do with Tianjin, I think.

天津栗子 (Tianjin chestnuts)
People say another famous food in Tianjin is the chestnut.
So that day Ken bought some from a store near our house. It's not the EXACT Tianjin Chestnuts, but since it's sold in Tianjin it should be something similar, right?

The inside (note: not my hands too. But that's my laptop in the background.)
It's also fried with coffee beans (I heard; wasn't there to witness it myself.)

t tastes just like any regular chestnut, I don't see what's so special about it. Maybe because I'm not really a chestnut fan. Or maybe we should have gotten the EXACT ORIGINAL Tianjin chestnuts. Yup.
