Founded in 1844, this confectionary shop is famous for their Mimuro monaka (wafer cakes) made with Dainagon azuki beans, a Yamato specialty.

The monaka make a great sweet for a seasonal tea ceremony or a gift.

とてもいい香りの最中です。皮のかをりは空也最中と遜色ありません。中の餡が少し甘めです。おおきさも2種類あり親切な設定です。個人的にはもうちょい甘さ控えめめが好みですが、そうなると2、3個食べてしまいそうです。

買い食いしながら吉野の山を歩き、勝手神社へ行った後に立ち寄りました。店先で売っているアマゴの空揚げをいただきましたが、香ばしくてカリカリで頭からおいしくいただけました。あまりに美味しかったので店内で売られていた焼き穴子の姿ずしも買い求めましたが、これも美味しかったです。店内でも食事が出来るようでしたが、バスツアーでの滞在3時間ではゆっくりする時間が無かったのが残念です。

"This confectionary shop opened in 1842. The shop is famous for its Yoshino Shui, a special kuzu starch gruel made exclusively with Yoshino kuzu starch produced using the ""kanzarashi"" method, which involves soaking it in icy-cold water. Sold in dry blocks, when covered with boiling water and gently stirred, it dissolves into a kuzu starch gruel with a very refined sweetness, and a small confection symbolizing a cherry blossom floats to the top. The shop is also filled with other sweets made with Yoshino kuzu and wasanbon fine-grained Japanese sugar, such as higashi dried candies, kuzukiri kuzu starch noodles, and kuzuame kuzu starch candies."

Nara Areas

With a reputation almost as stellar as that of Kyoto, Nara is a must-visit for those searching for the remains of "traditional Japan." The largely green Nara city holds the majority of the prefecture’s treasures, such as the iconic Todai-ji Temple, in which a 15-meter tall Great Buddha sits, and Nara Park, where deer flock to befriend passersby. While mountains are by no means hard to come by in this area, for hiking with a reward, head to the Kii Mountains’ Yoshino district in spring, when the hillsides put on an impressive display of white and pink cherry blossoms.
