    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.

    松江を訪ねる機会があれば欠かさず購入する、だんご屋さんです。種類が豊富で、安くて、もっちもち、間違いない味わいです。今回は、悩んだ末、一番人気のみたらし団子、松江らしい、お茶尽くしの不昧公団子(お茶を練りこんだ団子の上に抹茶あん)、煎茶だんご(お茶を練りこんだ団子の上にあんこ)の3本を持ち帰り。食後のデザートに美味しく頂きました。

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.
