FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is the filling of Vigor Kobo's Chestnut Cake pure chestnut paste?
The filling is made from ground white kidney beans and imported chestnuts, with added chestnut pieces, so it's not just a completely smooth chestnut paste. When eaten, you'll first experience the smooth and fluffy filling, followed by the granular texture of the chestnut pieces.
Q2: Can I taste actual chestnut pieces in the Chestnut Cake?
Yes, you can. Chestnut pieces are specially added to the chestnut filling to ensure the texture isn't solely smooth and creamy. This product is more suitable for those who enjoy nuts or chestnut pieces in their pastries, rather than those who prefer only a completely smooth filling.
Q3: Why is cocoa powder added to the crust?
Cocoa powder is added to the crust primarily to balance the inherent sweetness of the chestnut filling, while also making the crust smoother. The overall taste remains predominantly chestnut, not a chocolate-filled pastry.
Q4: Is the Chestnut Cake too sweet?
The cocoa powder in the crust balances the sweetness of the chestnut filling, ensuring the chestnut's sweetness isn't just a singular sweet flavor. Chestnut pieces are also added to the filling, creating more layers of flavor and texture, making it suitable for those who enjoy chestnut desserts but don't want an overpowering sweetness.
Q5: Is the Chestnut Cake suitable for vegetarians?
This product is lacto-ovo vegetarian, suitable for those who consume dairy and egg products. However, it is not vegan or purely vegetarian.

Q6: Is chestnut flavoring added to the Chestnut Cake?
