Chesnuts Roasting on a random street in a random town outside Tokyo....


At the train station near my job, I noticed these strange little food items for sell. I wondered what they were, as I can't read anything but English...was pretty curious.
So, on a weekend trip to a small town outside of Japan, I encountered them again on the street. I stopped to inspect and asked my friend what they were.
Oddly enough...they were chesnuts. Not nearly as exotic as I assumed. I like peanuts, pecans, and cashews are okay with me...so I gave them a try. Exotic or not...I'll pass...I tried to hide my displeasure...but I guess I have a lot learn in that department...
