Suya Honten, located in Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture, is known as a long-established shop specializing in chestnut kinton (sweetened chestnuts). Kurikinton is a simple Japanese sweet made solely from chestnuts and sugar, and is a quintessential autumn delicacy. Suya's kurikinton is painstakingly crafted by carefully selecting chestnuts and straining them by hand. The natural flavor of the chestnuts is meticulously balanced with a refined, gentle sweetness, creating an unforgettable taste.

Suya Honten's kurikinton is made by slowly simmering domestic chestnuts. Its rich flavor allows you to fully enjoy the chestnut flavor. Its moist texture is also a major reason for its popularity.

The shop's interior has a calm, Japanese-style atmosphere, brimming with history. In addition to kurikinton, the shop also sells a variety of other products, including seasonal chestnut confections and chestnut-based steamed rice. In particular, during the autumn season when chestnut kinton is sold, the area is bustling with tourists and people looking for souvenirs.

In addition to the main store, there are also stores at Takashimaya in Nagoya Station and Matsuzakaya in Sakae.
