    Wakayama Pref. Kaisougunkiminochou Miogawa 785-3
    "This shop features authentic gelato made by farmers who “want to help more people experience the happiness of eating immersed in nature."" With its characteristic white walls, they offer gelato made with seasonal fruit and vegetables they grow themselves. The produce of the season's rich fragrance and juiciness comes through in a delightfully sweet and sour fullness. They also sell vegetables from their farm used in the gelato at their Petit Marche. People sometimes choose the gelato as a local Kimino Town reward for participating in Japan's “Hometown Tax Donation ""system."

    人里離れた、の形容詞はここのためにある?と、アクセスは不便です。 でも、そんなマイナス要素を越える美味しいジェラートに出会えました。 農家さんがやっているジェラート屋さんで、フルーツは季節毎に変わります。ちょうど訪問時は栗や柿を使ったものが並んでいました。フレーバーに山椒を合わせる斬新さもあって、オススメです。

    Wakayama Pref. Kaisougunkiminochou Sakamoto 723-1
    This bakery on the Oishi-kogen Highland is only open on Saturdays and Sundays. Housed in a log cabin, there's a great view of the surrounding woodland from the terrace seating. It's a lovely way to enjoy the charms of nature with birdsong and the cool breeze passing through the valley. All of their products are additive-free. Their mountain shaped bread and their bacon knot filled with cream cheese and mustard get good reviews. They also serve juice and light fare like pizza and spaghetti, as well as items only available for a limited time.

    Wakayama Tanabe-shi Kitashinmachi 1
    Located in the center of Tanabe, a city along the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage Route, about a 15-minute drive from the Nanki Tanabe Interchange on the Hanwa Expressway via National Route 42, this is a venerable retailer of traditional Japanese sweets. Its flagship product is Okeshi Mochi, a simple round, flat cake of rice paste covered on both sides with sweet red bean paste. The soft, chewiness of the pounded Mochi cake and the perfectly salted, not-too-sweet flavor of the bean paste make this a popular item, and it is said to have been a favorite of Minakata Kumagusu, the famous 19th-century scholar in natural history and folklore studies. Since these confections do not keep more than a day, one can taste them only here. In the back of the shop is a tea corner, where customers can enjoy a cup of tea with their sweets.

    紀伊田辺駅から闘鶏神社と逆の方に行くとあります。お餅の上に粒あんをのせた辻の餅が名物です。シンプルですが非常に美味しかったです。
