There’s also a café space where you can enjoy a namagashi and matcha green tea set.

    本店で買ったのでなく、髙島屋大阪店の全国銘菓に、栗まるが10月(栗の時期)に入荷するので毎年買います。栗1粒を2種の餡(粒餡、こなし餡)で包んでいるようで、大好きな栗と粒あんだし、外側が滑らかで柔らかく、美味しいので気に入ってる。HPを見てると通年商品のようですが、栗の時期だけ入荷なのが、買いたくなる要因の1つかも…。その他に柚衣が美味そうなので大阪の百貨店で入荷(催事)があったら食べてみたいです...

Shimane Areas

around-area-map

What Shimane prefecture lacks in size and population, it makes up for in scenery and ancient mythology. Izumo-taisha, in the middle of the prefecture, is said to be Japan’s oldest Shinto shrine, where stories that delve into the creation of the Japanese race have been passed down over centuries. The 180 Oki Islands, a 40-minute ferry ride north of Sakaiminato, offer an undiscovered paradise well off the beaten track.
