The Japanese stone oak (Lithocarpus edulis) is native to Japan and can be found across the country. The nuts are edible, tasting like chestnuts when baked (according to a website).
In Japan, the nuts of Fagaceae trees, one of which is the Japanese stone oak, are collectively called "
donguri" and there's a famous song for children about an acorn falling into a pond "
Donguri korokoro (i.e., Rolling acorn)."
The tree's Japanese name is "
mateba shii," which translates into "a tree becoming a chinquapin tree soon," because people prefer(ed) chinquapin nuts to the Japanese stone oak nuts.

馬刀葉椎（マテバシイ）です。実はどんぐりと呼ばれ有名ですが、花もなかなか見事でしょ。
実は焼くと栗のような味がするそうですが、マテバシイの名の由来は「待てば椎になるから」という願いから。椎の実の方がマテバシイの実よりおいしいからだそうです。気持ちは分かるけどちょっとひどいなあ～😂。
