    出雲大社を訪れた際に寄りました。出雲そばが有名とのことで、今回は写真の月見そばを注文しました。味も非常にさっぱりしていてとても美味しかったです。 この時は知らなかったのですが、出雲そばは岩手県の「わんこそば」、長野県の「戸隠そば」と並び、日本三大そばの一つにも数えられるそうです! 今回は頂きませんでしたが、磯のりそばがかなりインパクトあったので次回訪れたら食べてみたいです!また、おぜんざいが出...

    Shimane Pref. Matsueshi Tenjinmachi 124
    A long-standing Japanese confectionary shop renowned for its “wakakusa,” a sweet viewed as a Matsue souvenir standard. Saiundo is located a 10 minute walk from Matsue Station. Wakakusa is a Japanese-style sweet consisting of soft gyuhi glutinous rice dumplings covered with light green kanbaiko glutinous rice flour. These legendary treats take their name from a poem written by Matsudaira Harusato, the seventh lord of Matsue Domain. In addition to wakakusa, the shop sells a wide variety of Japanese and Western-style sweets made with select ingredients, as well as seasonal “namagashi” fresh sweets. 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 Pref. Izumoshi Hiratachou 774
    Since it was founded in 1715, this long established store has been selling ginger flavored sweets using age-old recipes passed down from father to only one son. Using only shussai ginger with its small amount of fiber and unique sweetness and aroma, the old-fashioned ginger sweets, made by melting the juice and sugar together over a charcoal fire, produce a delicately fresh aroma and refreshing sweetness with a hint of ginger spiciness coming through. The store also sells sugar with powdered green tea, ginger tea and seasonal ginger sweets. The historical store building that was rebuilt from the ashes of the Great Fire in 1876 and then further refurbished in the early Heisei period is also one of the highlights. The nearest station is Unshu-Hirata Station.

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.
