揚げ塩ぎんなん Ageshio-ginnan
Ginkgo nuts marinated in olive oil are not my favorite taste. It was too soft. I recommend the roasted one and deep fried one.
Another event in Tokyo in November and December
I wonder why they don't sell ginkgo nuts since it is Ginkgo Tree Festival.
Roasted or deep-fried ginkgo nuts are tasty and I sometimes eat them.
