Mont Blanc soft serve
Amamiya Ikuemon is Sakurai Kanseido's sweet shop located on the second floor of the MIDORI Nagano station building directly connected to Nagano Station. This directly operated store by Sakurai Kanseido, a long-established chestnut confectioner in Obuse-machi, Nagano Prefecture, not only sells chestnut confections, but also has a café space. It is a great place to stop by while waiting at the station or on a trip.

Mont Blanc Soft, where you can enjoy chestnuts to the fullest

I had the "Mont Blanc Soft Cream" this time. The rich chestnut soft serve is topped with a generous amount of chestnut Mont Blanc cream, and looks very pretty. The flavor of chestnuts fills your mouth with a delicious taste that will bring a smile to your face! Mont Blanc soft serve is available all year round, but you can only taste this year's new chestnuts from the end of September to the end of November. If you visit in the fall, this is a must-try sweet treat.

Enjoy the taste of a long-established shop! Mont Blanc of the Royal Road

In addition to soft serve ice cream, "Mont Blanc" is also highly recommended. The crispy tart dough is topped with a layer of fluffy sponge and cream, and the smooth chestnut Mont Blanc cream squeezed over the top is filled to the brim! Each bite was a different texture to enjoy, and the sweetness was just right and elegant. It is a dish that makes you want to savor it with a cup of coffee.

Perfect as a travel companion or souvenir!

In addition to the café, the shop also offers a wide variety of souvenirs. Chestnut dorayaki with fluffy dough filled with chestnut red bean paste and leaf pie chestnut leaves with a crunchy texture and aroma of chestnuts are both standard favorites.

MIDORI Nagano Store Limited Pudding

Be sure to check out the "Hojicha Pudding" and "Matcha Pudding," which are available only at the MIDORI Nagano store! The hojicha pudding was served with hojicha sauce. The aroma that spread in your mouth the moment you put it in your mouth was truly a pudding for hojicha lovers! The matcha pudding is topped with chestnut sauce. I wondered if matcha and chestnuts would go well together. But the bittersweet matcha and the mild sweetness of the chestnuts were a perfect match and surprisingly delicious! It is a perfect souvenir and a limited edition sweet that you are lucky to be able to buy.
