粉汁子は手間がかかるので大抵の甘味処は粒あんぜんざいのみです。そんな時世にもめげず心をこめた粉汁粉は我が家の冬の定番です。ただお店の主人が体力的にきついので止めることも考えているそうですから早めにどうぞ。

Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture Yuigahama 3-2-13

This unusual Japanese café and sweet shop requires visitors to cross the tracks of the Enoshima Electric Railway at Wadazuka Station, despite the lack of a proper railway crossing point. The café’s garden blooms with seasonal flowers such as Japanese apricot, chrysanthemum, and camellias, which, together with the Enoshima Electric Railway running just beyond, creates a stunning bit of scenery. The shop’s mamekan (a sweet dish of peas with kanten jelly) is particularly popular and lovingly prepared with red peas from Hokkaido slowly stewed over three days without breaking the skin. The shop also offers seasonal items such as the summer-only Shiratama azuki (sweet adzuki beans with mochi) and the winter-only inaka shiruko (old fashioned sweet adzuki bean soup) and ankoro mochi (mochi wrapped in sweet adzuki bean paste).

A café founded in 1914 located along the stone steps of Ninenzaka in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture.
