Nakatsugawa Chestnut Kinton Festival

Sale dates differ depending on the confectionery shop.
Products from the following confectionery shops are scheduled to be sold:
すや, 仁太郎, 松月堂, 梅園, 信玄堂, 松葉, ヤマツ, 七福, 川上屋, 恵那福堂, しん, 美濃屋, 満天星一休
Fukui Winter Mizu Yokan Tasting Comparison Fair
Mizu yokan (water yokan) is generally considered a summer treat, but in Fukui Prefecture, people have a custom of eating it in winter rather than summer.
Each shop makes its mizu yokan carefully with the skill of its artisans, and the sweetness and flavor differ from shop to shop, so the fair is a chance to compare them.
Sale dates differ depending on the confectionery shop.

えがわ, 松岡軒, 久保田製菓, シュトラウス金進堂, 伊勢屋, やまうち, 丸岡家, 餅の田中屋, 栄太楼, あまとや, 菊水堂, 馬面昭栄堂, 阿んま屋, 二幸庵, 村中甘泉堂, 西勘堂, 亀寿堂, 美濃喜, 大黒屋, 笑福堂, 井上耕養庵, にしさか, 朝日風月堂, 錦梅堂, 観山洞, TEAM Zen, お菓子のひろせ
