    誕生日に主人がザッハトルテを買ってきてくれました。見た目は美味しそうなのですが、子供たちは美味しくない、好みじゃないと散々。周りのチョコレートはビターで美味しいのですが、中身のジャムがが気持ち悪いほど甘い。ケーキ屋が出来ての頃はすべてのケーキが本当に美味しかったのに、人気が出て店舗が増えた辺りから味が落ちている気がします。今回のザッハトルテははっきり言って不味いです。主人が申し訳なさそうにしていて...

    誰も他人の評価に口を挟めるものではありません。料理とはそう云うものなのです。嫌いな人にとっては例え100万人が好きと云っても評価はゼロです、それでいいのです。ここも当地ではかなりの知名度を誇る料亭(旅亭)ですが、ここの料理が合わないと云う人には評価のしようがありません。ここは彦根城主の井伊家から「井」の一文字を授かり「やす井」と称した料理旅館に隣接する料亭です。店舗と雰囲気はそこそこのものでしたが...

    千成亭の支店は色々と口コミページが開設されているが、ここは「レストラン」と冠しないと出てきてくれない、画一的で単細胞なサイトだから表示方法も異常。千成亭とオペすれば全ての店が登場するような仕組みを考えなさいよ。ここは肉はそこそこ良かった、が、わたし的には量は全く不足、他に御飯以外はこれと云って食べる物は無いんだから・・・もう少し、肉も野菜も多くないと・・・不足。但し、ここはたかが昼食程度で靴を脱が...

    Shiga Pref. Oumihachimanshi Tamakichou 2-3
    A long-standing Japanese confectionary shop established in 1863 located in 2 Chome Tamaki-cho, Omihachiman City. The shop’s yokan jelly, made by steaming a bean jam wrapped in bamboo peels, was often bought as a souvenir by young apprentices after visiting home to give to their employers due to the reasonable price of these tasty sweets. Because the word for these apprentices is “decchi” in Japanese, the shop’s yokan jelly came to be called “decchi yokan,” and today decchi yokan is one of the Omi area’s most famous local confections. The shop still sells its “Decchi Yokan” made according to the same process as when it first opened its doors, as well as uiro-mochi sweet rice cakes and seasonal confections.

Visitors to Shiga prefecture are almost always hopping east across the prefectural border from Kyoto, and they are almost certainly Lake Biwa-bound. Covering an area of 670 square kilometers, Lake Biwa makes up the bulk of Shiga prefecture, with beautiful lakeside paths that offer myriad walking and cycling opportunities, connecting a string of museums, shrines, and picturesque views that finally lead you to Hikone Castle on the eastern side of the lake.
