Toukurou ginnan(ginkgo nut)

This ginkgo nut variety came from a natural ginkgo tree of about 300 years of age which was planted in the home of Toukurou Inoue, a resident of Mizuho City. The tree, however, fell down and withered due to a typhoon in 1914. This type is characterized by and highly evaluated for its relatively large size, thin shell with smooth and glossy surface, high uniformity in size and shape, good taste, and favorable storability in comparison with other varieties.

"Iri ginnan" (roasted gingko nuts) - local specialty of autumn.

We pick only fat nuts, crack their shell, soak them in salty water and then roast them for hours. Our master chef is an earnest inquirer who thinks "simple dishes cannot be cooked simply." He identifies the character of each seasonal ingredient and prepares dishes with time, effort and ingenuity.

Service period：From late September to late December
Please call us to confirm.

＜Messages from the Staff＞ We will promote local gingko nuts by serving a wider variety of dishes.

Gingko nuts remind our customers that autumn is here now.

Arranged so that guests can enjoy the aesthetic of the cooked nuts.

Also popular is the earthenware teapot boiled dish cooked with delicately adjusted fire.

Gingko nuts are served from the end of September to the end of December.
