    Shiga Pref. Hikoneshi Honmachi 1
    A shopping arcade located in 1 Chome Hon-machi, Hikone City. The Hikone City Shopping Street was once known as the “larder of Hikone” and bustled with customers but began falling into decline in recent years; supporters then renovated the arcade as part of a town planning project to revive the local area. Food shops, restaurants, boutiques, apparel stores, and galleries line the street, which now bears a more modern appearance while still paying homage to the area’s rich Taisho Roman history.

    彦根に寄ったので行ってきました。代表銘菓は埋もれ木。埋もれ木は4種類あって、中の餡はみな同じで、通年販売の代表銘菓は、求肥の部分にかかっているパウダーが抹茶。季節限定は御濃茶、ほうじ茶、レモンがありました。限定のレモン味の邪気払い3個入りとあわの海(羊羹)1本を買いました。邪気払いの埋もれ木は、白餡をレモン味の求肥で包んだ1口サイズ。甘いだけでなく、レモンの求肥と白餡の相性バッチリで、甘酸っぱく美...

    Shiga Echi-gun Aishocho Higashi De 229
    About 10 minutes from the Kotosanzan Smart Interchange off the Meishin Expressway, this historic soy sauce manufacturer has been operating since the Edo period. Their soy sauce, rich smooth with a full-bodied aroma is made only with discriminatingly selected domestic contract soy farmers ‘produce, wheat, and sun-dried salt. Using cedar barrels and their own 200 year old distinctive koji yeast, the soy sauce is still made by using the old processes, the success of which depends on the skills and experience of the brewers. The Sugi-daru san-nen Jukusei, cedar barrel 3-year soy sauce, is an exceptional product. It is fermented over many months in the 100-year old Okura cask, which in itself is a registered tangible cultural property. The Kozo soy sauce, with its aromatic rich flavor is also highly recommended.

    多賀大社参拝の後、名物の糸切餅を食べてみたいので、3個入りの販売があったので購入しました。 賞味期限が短いので、沢山入った箱入りは食べきれず、イートインに寄るほど時間がなかったので、3個入り販売があって助かりました。 糸で切れるほどの柔らかさのお餅で柔らかいこしあんを包んであり、ドライブ途中の休憩で食べるのにちょうど良い甘さで美味しく頂きました。 お店はかやぶき屋根、創業は明治13年の老舗です。

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.
