Japanese Chestnut (Castanea Crenata) 日本グリ（和栗）

英語の後に日本語が続きます。

A week ago, I mistook Japanese horse chestnuts for chestnuts. I noticed the mistake because what looked like chestnuts I found on a street had no burs. And today, I found a chestnut tree with still green chestnuts covered in burs. It was my first time to see unripe green chestnuts. 

There are the following four types of chestnuts according to Adachi Otoemon, a confectionery shop in Kyoto: 

• Japanese chestnut (Castanea crenata)
• Western chestnut (Castanea sativa)
• Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima)
• American chestnut (Castanea dentata)

All of them are sweet. Now I'm thinking about what you're thinking about ....😋😋
