    創業文禄年間。秋田県内でこの古さはなかなかないのでは? 創業を数字に直すと400年を軽く超えます。伝統の名品は古典銘菓?翁飴。こちらは200年を超える歴史があります。地元では有名なのでしょう。店構えも格式を感じますが、その翁飴がどういうものなのか、扉を開けて入店しないと判明しません。店頭に写真1枚飾っておけばいいだけの話です。旅行者は「へえ、古そうなお菓子屋さん…」で通り過ぎてしまう可能性大です...

    角館の武家屋敷群、青柳家を出た向かい側にあったので入ってみました。 閉店間際でしたので店内は閑散としていましたがその分お店の方とお話ししながら買い物をすることができました。少し試食をさせていただきながら生もろこしを食べ比べ。餡入りもおいしかったですが私はプレーンの生もろこしが好みでした。

    秋田県民にはお馴染みのCM、28個食べましたぁーで有名な銘菓、秋田のお土産の定番です。 かなり甘さは強め、小さめなお饅頭をいただきました。 正直甘いものが苦手なわたしには少々きつめですがお茶請けにはぴったりなお菓子です。
