    ランチに釜揚げそばを頂きました。好立地な割にはお手頃価格で込み具合もそれほどではなく、いろいろ美味しかったです。しょうゆアイスが不思議な味でした。

    Shimane Pref. Izumoshi Taishachoukidukiminami 775-11
    A store specializing in Izumo zenzai (red bean soup) on Shinmon-dori Street in front of the main gate of Izumo Taisha Grand Shrine. It is an antenna shop of the Nihon Zenzai Gakkai (Japan Zenzai Association) aiming at providing more delicious Zenzai from Izumo, said to be the birthplace of zenzai. Inside the store which is run from an old private house, are some rustic looking wooden tables. In addition to the Izumo zenzai with its red and white dumplings in a large grained adzuki bean zenzai, their enmusubi zenzai, which is associated with Izumo Taisha Grand Shrine, is also popular. The nearest station is Izumotaisha-mae Station.

    It is elegant and plain sweetness. Please eat this Zenzai at once. It’s crowded there so wait a moment.

    茅葺きの屋根がある古民家風のお店です。店内は単なる昭和レトロだけでなく、江戸時代の鎧や火縄銃などが天井近くに展示、昔懐かしいラジオや変わったそろばんまで、所狭しと展示されている。骨とう品好きならおススメのお店だ。オーダーしたのは、しこたまそばとおむすびの定食。肉そばと山菜そばのミックスのようで、いとこどりという感じ。蕎麦は細麺、賑やかな具材との相性が抜群。特に、スープがうまい。やや大きめのおにぎり...

    Shimane Matsue-shi Suetsuguhonmachi 87
    This sweets cafe is part of Kyomise shopping street, with its old fashioned city scenery. Founded in 1945, it has offered up its carefully made dango dumplings made from Okuizumo Nita grown Nitamai koshihikari rice, one of the two most highly rated koshihikari varieties, reputed as Uonuma koshihikari rice in eastern Japan and Nitamai koshihikari rice in western Japan. This shop, marked on the outside by its old fashioned machiya townhouse design, is spacious and elegant on the inside. Their meticulously handmade dumplings are the perfect company for a break on your stroll through Matsue. They also offer standard sweet treats like parfaits and zenzai sweet bean soup, as well as a Japanese-style house-made ramen with carefully selected ingredients. Their ramen uses rich flying-fish stock, and it's available in a Dango set meal with Mitarashi Dango sweet dumplings with a soy sauce syrup.

    軽めのお昼を食べに伺いました。 あごだしラーメンのお団子セットを頂きましたが、ラーメンはあっさりでしたが出汁が効いていておいしかったです。 入口のお団子売り場は人気らしく、地元の方が多く買いに来ていて混雑していました。 帰りにお団子も買いましたが、鰹節をまぶしたものや玄米などの変わったものがありました。 鰹節と抹茶のお団子をテイクアウトしましたが、どちらもお団子は柔らかく、味もしっかりしていておい...

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.
