It's a reproduction of aruheito, a kind of candy that was introduced from the southern islands during the Warring States Period. These candies feature more sugar than usual varieties. They come in three flavors: ""Pure Sugar"" made simply with sugar and starch and without added flavors, ""Hakka"" with a subtle flavor and addictive aftertaste, and ""Brown Sugar"" made with high grade Okinawan brown sugar that's packed with minerals."

    神田店で食べて良かったので今回は県庁東に夜に来て、10000円のコースを頼んだ。肉はおいしかったが、店員の対応が悪く、後口が悪かった。 （一人の若い男性店員だけは笑顔で感じ良かったが、店長の男性と若い女性店員がダメ） たとえいい品質のおいしい料理を出す店でも、店員の接客技術を磨かなくても客が来てくれるという店は基本的に好きではない。 詳しくは書かないが、最初に接客してきた若い女性はメニューに書いて...

    Gifu Pref. Gifushi Yashiro 2-7-10
    This restaurant specializing in Hida beef, the most historic location of this nationwide chain, offers Saitobi beef, which is superior even to A5-grade beef. We recommend their course meals, as well as their lunches, which let you choose from one of three Hida beef main dishes: classic chargrilled barbeque, ultimate shabu-shabu (Japanese hot pot), and traditional sukiyaki. Whether it’s their fresh homemade tofu, their Okuminokojidori chicken, which gets more savory with every bite, or their locally-grown vegetables, the restaurant pays great attention to all of their ingredients, not just their beef. You’re sure to enjoy the restaurant’s relaxed atmosphere, created in part by the torch near the entrance.

    長良橋通りに移転後初の訪問、ツバメわらびと大地のどらやきを購入。 平日の11時頃でしたが、まったく行列なしで直ぐに購入出来ました。 わらび餅はとろとろプルンでたまりません、どら焼きはしっとりとた皮と食べ応えのある小倉餡で飽きの来ない味です。

    This long-established Japanese confectionary shop was founded in 1830, and is located in Imako-machi, Gifu City.

In addition, famous confectionery with elegant tastes such as the “kagariyaki ayu,” which is made in the shape of the beautiful sweetfish in the Nagara River and use mainly egg yolks, that you can purchase there are highly recommended as souvenirs.
