This is a present from our Japanese guest.
The wrapping paper says "Nakamura-Ken(中村軒)".
Nakamura-Ken is a Japanese confectioner in Kyoto.
The inside is...
Daifuku is a Japanese confection consisting of a small round glutinous rice cake stuffed with anko.
(Anko is sweetened red bean paste made from azuki beans.)
These daifukus are not ordinary ones.
They have ginkgo nuts inside as well as anko.
Autumn is the best season for ginkgo nuts.
In Japan we use ginkgo nuts for Japanese cuisines, but usually we do not use them for sweet stuffs.
However in those daifukus ginkgo beans match anko very well.
The taste is unique in a good way.
We enjoyed special autumn sweets.
