    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.

    でっち羊羹、普通の羊羹より少しもっちりして軽めで、食べやすいと思いました。 ういろうも売られていて、試食させていただいたら美味しかったです。 お店の前に丁稚飛び出し坊やが居るので、そちらも要チェック(笑)

    Shiga Pref. Oumihachimanshi Aduchichoujourakuji 420
    A Japanese confectionary shop situated in front of Azuchi Station in Jorakuji Azuchi--cho, Omihachiman City. The shop’s “Makezu no Tsuba” (“Undefeated Guard”), a monaka wafer cake sandwich filled with two types of sweet bean jam crafted in the shape of the iron guard on the mighty Oda Nobunaga’s favorite sword, is a popular lucky charm frequently purchased by students hoping to get into the school of their choice. Other sweets sold by the shop include “Azuchi Mondo” decchi yokan jelly and “Nobunaga-gun Pie” treats.

    JR安土駅北側に有る和菓子屋のお店、いつものように疲れた時は甘いお菓子をということで買い求めました。中身の様子も写真で分かりますが、私自身は名前が気に入った3種を選び購入、女性のスタッフさんも丁寧に応対してくれました。美味しい、そして甘いお菓子でした。

    日野市街の外れの大通り沿い。お店の濃い紫が独特です。 滋賀県産の羽二重米を原料にしたあられは何種類も。店内には商品を量り売りする用の大きなブリキの缶が並んでいました。しっかりおいしいあられです

Shiga Areas

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.
