Tokyo Taitou-ku Yanaka 3-11-18

A renowned shaved ice shop that started out as a simple street stand. The shop stands in the Yanaka neighborhood, which still bears traces of its old Tokyo downtown atmosphere. The shaved ice is cranked out by hand just as in the good old days, and the shop uses spring water ice created slowly with natural outdoor cold. Himitsudo also uses fruit juice in place of artificial syrup, creating a truly luxurious treat. The shop keeps straws on hand so you can slurp up the slush at the bottom of your cup. Himitsudo is so popular, it issues numbered tickets at peak times.

テレビの番組で、外国人シェフが選ぶ和菓子ランキングで出町ふたばの豆大福が2位入っていたので、京都に行った時に訪れました。テレビでは、売り切れて買えないこともあるとの事でしたが、コロナの移動制限が解除された直後の金曜の昼頃ですが、10人程の列で10分ほど待ちましたが買えました。豆餅、黒豆大福など購入し、夜に頂きましたが、あんこが甘過ぎず、柔らかな触感で美味しくいただきました。賞味期限は1日のため、地...

Amazake Chaya tea house

Kanagawa Pref. Ashigarashimogunhakonemachi Hatajuku Nikozan 395-28

This is a Japanese tea house with 400years of tradition located in a dangerous spot of the Tokaido road, halfway up Mt. Hakone. During the Edo period, the tea house was used as a rest area before the Hakone checking station, while nowadays it is more familiar as a rest area for hikers walking through Hakone. The production process for “amazake” (a traditional Japanese drink made from fermented rice) has remained unchanged since ancient times, using koji (rice malt) has been used in the fermentation process since the Edo period; the amazake is non-alcoholic, has a gentle sweetness even though it is produced without sugar, so it has been used to good advantage by travelers to get rid of fatigue. There are also packs of amazake which you can buy to take home. One of the shop’s specialties is also “Chikara-mochi” (a glutinous rice cake) which is gently baked over charcoal until it puffs up.

Our guide took us to this chaya for amazake. Its the only remaining chaya in the area with an old building from the Edo era. Worth a stop to see the building and a taste of old Japan.

The shop can also ship products throughout Japan and you can always enjoy fresh-made cheesecake and creme brulee in the cafe area.

Gifu Pref. Gujoushi Shirotorichoumaedani Shelf 1106 - 1 - 2

A nagashi somen flowing noodles restaurant a 20 minute drive from the Shiratori Interchange and near Amidagataki Falls, a waterfall selected as one of the 100 most beautiful in Japan. This area is famous as being the place where nagashi somen was invented, and here you can enjoy this fun and tasty dish surrounded by lush forest. The restaurant’s springy noodles are set adrift on slides filled with ice cold flowing spring water for diners to catch; when you’ve got some noodles in hand, dip them in the restaurant’s special tsuyu sauce, made with mountain wasabi, before eating. The restaurant’s system is all-you-can-eat until you run out of dipping sauce. The restaurant also serves char grilled with salt shioyaki style, and roasted dango rice cake skewers. The restaurant is open every day from May to September and continues to operate until around mid-October.

流しそうめんの元祖が岐阜にあるらしい、え？宮崎とかじゃ？と出かけて見ました。てっきり竹樋を高低差を付けて流れてくるのだと思っていました。石樋を冷たい水が流れ、その水にのってそうめんが流れてきました。そうめんは食べ放題ですが、良く水をきって汁につけないと、すぐに薄まってしまうので注意が必要です。夏を感じられるスポットです。

Nara Pref. Narashi Hashimotochou 29

This is a yomogi mochi rice cake specialty shop located on Sanjo-dori Street in Hashimoto Town, Nara City. The yomogi mochi is made from carefully selected locally grown produce. Hot rice is pounded swiftly according to traditional methods to make the soft and springy texture of the sweet. The shop is visited by many customers who come to see the skilled combination of the craftsmen turning and pounding the rice first hand.

The nicest, freshest mochi I’ve had in Japan (and I’ve tried a lot!) I also got to see them making the mochi which was really interesting.

Oita Pref. Beppushi Furomoto 5 pairs

This is a facility where one can try “jigoku mushi (literally, hell steaming),” a traditional cooking method passed down from the Edo era in which foods are steamed to degrees of up to 98°C using the hot steam from the hot spring water, and the rapid process condenses their flavor. Foodstuffs for hell steaming are available on site, or one can bring their own. Inside the facility are also exhibits on the history of Kanawa, hot springs and hell steaming, a drinking area, and free-to-use foot steamer and bath.

This place is popular, we waited an hour though the queue is very well managed. We weren’t so hungry so we shared a vegetable platter and the manjuku buns. Very cool experience to steam the food...

Famous for apple pie. Youd better bring it back to hotel, as eating at the shop is kinda complicated and stuffs are not really helpful. We got a feeling that stuffs were too proud. Its all you can...
