    Shiga Otsu-shi Nagara 2-9-4
    This longstanding Japanese pickle shop was established in 1850. The shop is situated in the center of the Maruya-cho Shopping Arcade near the Yuyukan community center. The shop's stunning wooden eave sign, made around the time the establishment first opened for business, has been designated a Scenic Important Advertisement by Otsu City. In 1914, the shop's Nagarazuke pickles, a regional pickle variety, were selected to be officially supplied to the then-Imperial Household Agency, and various materials relating to the reception of this designation are displayed in the shop. The shop is filled with Nagarazuke, senmaizuke pickled turnip slices, and a variety of other Japanese pickles made according to the same methods as when the shop was established.

    前回とても美味しかったので、また買いに行きました(^^)今回もしっかり試食して(笑)私はしそ大根のお漬物、主人は玉ねぎのお漬物。しそ大根はしっかり味がついていて白ごはんとお漬物だけでもさっぱり食べられます。玉ねぎのお漬物はさっぱりしていてシャキシャキしているのに苦くないのでおいしいです。

Shiga Areas

around-area-map

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.
