Hime-gurumi, or Hime walnut, scientific name: Juglans mandshurica var. cordiformis, is a variety of Oni-gurumi(Juglans mandshurica var. sachalinensis). The seed kernels are thin and easy to crack, so it is cultivated and used for confectionery and spread to households. Its appearance is the same as that of Oni-gurumi, so it is difficult to distinguish it from the rugged Oni-gurumi when the skin of the fruit is peeled off to reveal the shell.
