Cravingness: ★★★☆☆
I bought this box of souvenir because I didn't buy anything from Asakusa, so I figured may be I should buy something back for my family. Although this is supposed to be a souvenir bought from the Asakasu Temple, it was actually bought in the Airport. You could literally buy any renowned souvenirs in the airport nowadays, so I wont be bothered to buy anything when I was sight seeing next time.
This Chestnut with Thin Coating(薄皮栗) was literally Kusa Mochi(草餅). The coating was specified as 'Thin Coating' because its texture was no ordinary mochi which is sticky, it was indeed flakey, paper/cotton like and was flavourless. The chestnut paste was very sweet, which should go perfectly with tea or coffee.
