卵とじ葛うどんと柿の葉寿司2つ、葛餅のセットをいただきました。 ※うどん、そば、葛うどんから選べます。葛うどんは喉ごしがよく、とろっとしていて温まりました。出汁も濃くもなく薄くもなく、ちょうど良い。熱々のうどんと、冷たい柿の葉寿司で、美味しくいただけました。甘すぎない葛餅も良かったです。

蔵王堂の少し上手。柿の葉寿司の専門店。ばら売りはないので、一番小さい箱950円を買って、食べ比べ。ここの鯖は、寿司の一面をしっかり覆う大きさがあって、大将の几帳面さがよく分かります。大きさもあって、ヘビータイプの柿の葉寿司かなと思います。

正午ごろバスで奥千本入口に行ってしまい、昼食をとりっぱぐれ、ランチタイムを大幅に過ぎた3時半に利用しました。他の店では完売もちらほら見かける中、開いていてよかった。鴨葛うどんと柿の葉寿司の定食を注文。出汁が空腹の極限だった胃袋に染みわたり、柿の葉寿司の酢飯が食欲倍増、とても美味しく頂きました。接客してくれたのはバイトの若い男の子で、気持ちよく食事ができました。

妻が「ひょうたろう」に並んで柿の葉寿司を買っている間にこちらの店で草餅と桜餅を買いました。店の中では職人さんが草餅をどんどん作っているのが見えます。この店は桜の時期でも平日であれば並ぶほどではなかったので助かりました。パックになった桜餅と草餅を買い求め、常温で保存して翌日に家で食べましたが、硬くなってませんでした。草餅はよもぎの香りもあり、道明寺の桜餅も美味しかったです。

"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."

食べ物屋なんで・・・然程の評価は出来ません、１０００年位経過していれば別ですが。ここは歌舞伎の舞台「つるべすし弥助」で有名らしいが、大体、歌舞伎なんてわたし的には全く興味も無いし、造詣も深くない。いずれは滅び行く伝統芸能程度にしか思ってないので、ここがその舞台って云われても・・・何とも感じない。当主は４９代目と云う老舗らしい。弥助庭園とか案内もしていただいたけど・・・料理そのものは全国レベルから価...

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.
