    This Japanese-style sweet shop in Suzuka City, Mie Prefecture was founded 50 years ago. Taking the Mie Kotsu Route Bus from Kintetsu Shiroko Station, you'll find it near the Karasuno Bus Stop. Their hallmark item is Suzuka-no-Shufu Rider Monaka, a sweet shaped like a motorcycle racer like you might see at the Suzuka Circuit race track. They're made with superior ingredients including tsubuan red bean paste made with soft cooked name-brand Hokkaido grown adzuki beans sandwiched between tasty wafers made from domestic mochi rice. They also have dora-yaki cakes made with the same red bean paste as their monaka cakes.

    Shiratama-ya is a simple, old-style Japanese confectionary. Its most famous product is Shiratama, the source of the shop's name, an uncooked confection made from pureed bean paste wrapped in finely milled rice flour. A charming feature of this sweet is the three-colored center, red, yellow, and green, meant to represent the four seasons. The shop's Manju, associated with the Edo period figure, Seki no Koman, who avenged her father's death when she was only 18, are another popular product. Pieces of peach, chestnut, and plum fruit are wrapped inside a yellow paste dough made with egg yolk. The shop also carries Daifuku (glutinous rice stuffed with a filling) and unbaked sweets that are inspired by seasonal flowers. These sweets are sold by the piece, and customers can enjoy their favorites with a cup of green tea inside the store.

    関宿にある菓子店で正式名は「前田屋製菓」の関店。看板商品は暖簾にも記されている関宿名物「志ら玉」(1個100円)で、江戸時代から旅人に親しまれてきた。上新粉の生地の中にこしあんが入っている大福のようなもので、上面に赤、緑、黄の三色の彩りが添えられている。素朴な味わいだが古い町並みの雰囲気に合っており、関宿散策のお供にピッタリなものとなっている。

    Mie Suzuka-shi Kitatamagakicho

    手土産でよく頂いたりしますが、お店には沢山の種類のおかきやおせんべい、あられなどが、セットや単品で販売されています。試食や、お茶のサービスも有ります。また、えん餅などの和菓子も美味しいです。 家族は一般的に販売されている安価なおせんべいなどとの違いが分からないと言うのですが、それらが好きな私は、全然違う!!と感じます。誕生日のプレゼントに頼んだ程のファンです。美味しい!

Spread across the eastern side of the Kii Peninsula, Mie prefecture boasts hundreds of kilometers of pretty coastline comprising the oyster-rich Toba city and Shima National Park all the way down to Kumano, a city that marks the beginning of part of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage, which runs into neighboring Wakayama prefecture. However, Mie is best known for the Ise Jingu Shinto shrine inland, one of the oldest and largest shrines in the country.
