      Written as “栗金団” (kurikinton), this word seems to mean “gold dumpling” or “gold quilt”. [] However, in Gifu prefecture there is a different item, Japanese sweets called “kurikinton” (栗金飩), as you may know. It is made by mixing chestnuts with sugar and squeezing the mixture into the shape of a chestnut.
  2. kinton (金団), a sweet potato confection, that includes sweetened chestnuts

Usage notes

[edit]

The word くりきんとん may have different associations in different parts of Japan. The chestnut-based confection (occasionally written 栗金飩) is common in central Japan, especially around Gifu Prefecture. In other parts of Japan the potato-based confection flavored with chestnuts (written 栗金団) is common.
