Chestnuts worked long with sugar and a pinch of salt into a sweet made of nothing else.

Obtaining

Usage

The nuts go in whole

The chestnuts go into the pot whole, just as they do for chestnut rice and chestnut okowa. Boiling and working the paste happen in the same pot, so the long time over the fire means a long wait.

In the real world

Kuri kinton belongs to the Tono district of Gifu, around Nakatsugawa. Boiled chestnuts are scooped out while hot, mixed with sugar and a little salt, and worked patiently in a heavy pot until they just catch, then twisted in a damp cloth into a small pointed shape. It has been made since the Edo period and appears in autumn. It is not the New Year kuri kinton, which is a sweet potato paste with candied chestnuts.

Differences in game

Peeling and removing the germ are omitted, so whole chestnuts go into the pot. Boiling and working the paste are combined into one heating step, and shaping with a cloth requires no separate action.
