    This yokan (sweet bean jelly) specialty shop is in Kushimoto Town, Higashimuro County, Wakayama Prefecture. It opened in 1900 and operated over four generations before closing down once.

The shop was recently awarded first place at the Monde Selection competition. The surface is crispy and has a unique dry texture.

    Wakayama Higashimuro-gun Kushimotocho Kushimoto 1735-34
    This restaurant is located in front of the car park on the left-hand side of Kushimoto Fishing Port. It mainly serves seafood dishes such as sashimi and sushi. The tuna sushi is based on Mehari-zushi, which is a local dish of Wakayama Prefecture, and so uses pickled Takana mustard leaves instead of the usual dried seaweed. It is one of the stores where customers can eat the local gourmet dish, Kushimoto Tuna Shabu-shabu Gozen, which is made with a bounty of bluefin tuna raised purely in Kushimoto.

    美味しいので串本に行けば必ず行く店です。新鮮な刺身、天婦羅、煮物など全体的にお勧めできます。ただ観光地なので少し割高に感じますが仕方がないかと思います。

    Wakayama Higashimuro-gun Kushimotocho Kushimoto 1851
    This Japanese confectionery store is located a little to the southwest along National Route 42, after exiting JR Kushimoto Station. The long-established store was founded in 1893, and in a time when manju buns were considered sweets, it pursued the creation of a light, unsweetened bun, which is now a specialty product, Usukawa Manju. Its main characteristic is the special bean paste which is made from scratch to be delicious while also not being too sweet. In addition to Usukawa Manju, the store also has Imoimo and Hamasodachi, as well as Rosetsu Monaka, which have been recognized by Premier Wakayama.

    国道沿いの本店に寄って、うすかわ饅頭を買いました。店の前の駐車場に2、3台停められます。6個入り。甘くないこし餡で何個でも食べられますが、食べたことがない味ではありません。あっさりしたこし餡です。宿泊した翌日に、朝9時前に店の前を通過した時、開店していたので朝、お土産として買えました。

    Nice bakery, lots of different bread. Seems like the cafe is not operating...? Only take out. Nice location and nice little house. Seems quite busy, people were lining outside. Not cheap, but...
