Hisaya Kyoto Chestnuts - Torrance

Never met a chestnut I didn't like, and the ones at Hisaya are among the best. 

Accordingly priced, $6 will get you half a dozen of these beastly beauties for you to crack open and feast on the flesh. Pay a little more to have them peeled, but where's the fun in that?



Chestnut flour donuts are donuts only in shape. Far from the fluffy texture of the fried, these are dense with a homogeneous texture throughout. Less sweet but infused with delicate flavors, the original is good, the red velvet is just red, the coconut is cute, and the matcha is even better. Black sesame and yuzu are my standouts, 


but I liked the Mont Blanc best. I am all about this creamy chestnut spaghetti that surrounds a cheesecake base.

Love this little shop, as much as every other place in this plaza. A great little spot to swing by for a not-too-sweet treat, especially after an epic meal.
