There are three flavors: bean paste, sesame and soy sauce, and they are not on a skewer but in a folded box so they would be easy to eat even in the train.

    Hokkaido Hiyama-gun Esashicho Honcho 38
    "This Japanese confectionery store was founded in Esashi town in 1870. The authentic ""Marukan-Yokan"", cut by a string, and ""Nagashi-Yokan"", are made with great care. It takes great skill to knead the beans, agar and sugar which begins early in the morning and takes all day. The shop is proud of its tradition and continues making products with the same, unchanging flavor. Other than yokan (sweet bean jelly), Monaka (red bean filled wafers) castella, and seasonal Japanese confectionary are available, and all make great gifts. The old-fashioned packaging is popular."

    明治時代以前からあるお菓子の店で、江差名物の羊羹で有名。丸缶に入っているのが特徴だが一枚板になっているタイプもある。他にたい焼きのような鮭の形をしたあきあじ最中もある。今は函館市内や空港にも売っているのでわざわざ江差で買うほどでもないが、せっかく江差に来たらいにしえ街道から坂を上がって新地町まで行き、本店を訪れてみたい。

    Hokkaido Futamigunyakumochou Hamamatsu 368-8

    洞爺湖から函館に向かう途中、5号線から寄り道して坂を登って行きました。高速道路の八雲PAからも入れるようになってたので、まあまあの人出でした。 噴火湾パノラマ館には軽食や、白い恋人のソフトクリームがあり、濃厚な味わいでした。 あいにくの曇天でしたが、お天気なら内浦湾の眺めが良さそうです。 この場所はハーブ鶏発祥の地だそうです。

Hokkaido Areas

around-area-map

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
