Hisaya was established in February 15, 2001 in Kyoto, Japan. The first store was opened on September 1, 2001 by the much-acclaimed historic landmark, the Kiyomizu Temple. After a decade of perfecting our work and our pride, we have successfully branched out, established stores throughout Japan, Korean and Taiwan. That very dream of ours is to help rekindle chestnuts as a common healthy household snack/food in the US once again, as well as spreading the trend into the rest of the world.

I got hot chestnut milk, I thought it tasted like caramel. I liked that the top was frothed. Would not order again.
Chestnut tiramisu was drier than what I was used to compared to more typical tiramisus. Would not order again.
I got a medium bag of the Kyoto chestnuts, but did not compare with the other type of chestnut. It came out hot, with a slightly dry but not mealy texture. Would order again.
Seating is just two small tables outside with 5 chairs total.
NOTE: Snow Storm is like a MCFLURRY mixing all the flavor together versus the Fiji mountain which is layered and not mixed
FOOD 3/5
Chestnut Fuji mountain – decently delicious but the chestnuts don’t hit the mark
Chestnut Snow Storm – Way too much soft serve, I wish they chopped the chestnuts smaller and mixed it better
PARKING 4/5
Huge shopping complex parking lot with tons of parking
AMBIENCE 4/5
To go ordering only – no indoor seating and there’s two tables outside
Order online also makes it easy!
If you’re a chestnut lover, Hisaya Kyoto Chestnuts is a must-visit spot for a quick bite or a sweet treat. They offer a variety of chestnut desserts, as well as Kyoto and Tianjing chestnuts in different package sizes.
The Chestnut Cake is a standout—it has a fragrant, flaky pie crust, and the chestnut filling inside is freshly made and served hot, creating a rich and comforting bite. The chestnut ice cream is another highlight, blending vanilla and chestnut flavors into a smooth, creamy treat. I’d even say it’s the best chestnut ice cream in LA County!
The store itself is beautifully decorated in traditional Japanese style, featuring a wall of sticky notes where visitors can write their wishes. Since desserts are made fresh to order, there might be a bit of a wait, but trust me—it’s absolutely worth it!
Ambience: 5/5 – very cute and cozy store. The tatami mat area is blocked off but there is a table outside to sit at
Service: 2/5 – very quick and efficient service but the gentleman seemed like he did not want to be there and that we were interrupting whatever he was doing in the back of the store
Value for price: 3/5 – not terribly expensive but unfortunately we didn’t care too much for the desserts
Came for the roasted chestnuts, stayed for the chestnut and vanilla soft serve and the chestnut cheesecake (mont blanc).
Skip the chestnut cookie.
Even the roasted chestnuts were just ok, far inferior to what I grew up eating in Shanghai.
And to add, what a creepy part of the stripmall. Hardly any people around, vacant and empty shops. Sad.
Overall, I really like the chestnuts here. If you’re just looking for a mildly sweet and earthy snack, the roasted chestnuts are a great pick. The Montblanc is quite nice and I appreciate that they use a noodle presser to make the strings like they would in Japan.
I’ve definitely experienced a few Montblancs in the north where they skip that step and it does take away from the texture. Would recommend getting some matcha tea to pair with the sweetness of the cake.
