Chestnuts and sweet potatoes are seasonal autumn produce in Japan. Have a taste of the Japanese Autumn season with this box of chocolates featuring Kumamoto prefecture mascot Kumamon! Half of the chocolates in this box have a filling made with Rihei chestnut sauce. The other half has a filling made with honey and sweet potatoes from the Kumamoto prefecture.
A box of chocolates with chestnut and sweet potato filling
Initially ordered this one only because of the packaging design, since I love Kumamon. Two flavors included. I liked the left side, ie. chestnut filling a little more, even though they didn't taste much like chestnut, but more like coffee. XD Sweet potato filling on the other side is barely recognizable, but not bad as well.

The chocolate tasted a little cheap, it tasted better when I ate it after chilling it in the fridge. The chestnut has a nutty coffee flavor, while the sweet potatoes have a starchy sweet taste. It was good to try but I probably wouldn't order it again.
