    昔の方がおいしかった 久しぶりに食べたら 生地が硬くてパサパサしてた もっと もちもちして 触ったら中のあんこが感じられるぐらい もうちょっと 薄かったら食べやすいのかも 中のあんこも甘すぎた 砂糖を少なくして 塩を利かした方がイイと思った

    夜に近くを通りかかる用事があり、シーズン外の6月でしたが、カキコミを食べに日生に来ました。 しかし、コロナ禍で通常通りの営業しておらず、諦めかけていた時にこのお店を見つけました。 営業終了ギリギリにもかかわらず、丁寧にもてなしてもらいました。 冷凍カキなので、冬本場に比べると味は…ということでしたが、美味しかったです。 次は冬のシーズン中に来たいと思います。

    蒜山焼きそばの有名店の一角。 米子自動車道の蒜山インターからも車で5分くらいの場所にあります。 本業は焼肉屋さんのようなので、焼きそば以外のメニューもありますが、 私は以前来た時と同じ『ホルモン焼きそば』を注文。 濃いタレの効いた味わいでかつボリュームが凄いので満腹になりました。

    岡山後楽園の南門に近い場所にある茶店です。 名物きびだんごと抹茶のセット(500円)を頂きながら休憩しました。 歩き疲れた体には甘いものと抹茶の組み合わせは元気のもとになる気がしました。 帰る時に「どうも-」とか声をかけたのですが、返事もなかったのがなんだか悪い印象になってしまってちょっぴりがっかりしました。

    コロナ禍前は、仕事帰りによくお邪魔していたお気に入りのお店でした。 3月にしばらくぶりに伺ったら、味もシステムも変わっていました。 まず、駅ナカのカウンターのみのお店なのに、席料がかかります。 以前はかからなかったので、知らずに入ったところ、席について注文をする段階で、 「500円でワンドリンク(アルコールもOK)つきます」との案内が。 その後、予定があったので断ると、 「ドリンクを何も頼まなく...

These buns are made with carefully mixed sweet bean paste wrapped in amazake sweet sake flavored dough for a highly aromatic manju bun. They also serve crisp Monami, monaka wafers filled with moist coarse anko, and Tsubuzoroi bean sweets, made with high grade sugared adzuki beans.

There is a wood deck next to the shop, so you can enjoy the lovely peaceful farm view for a moment.

    岡山市の山中にある牧場直営のジェラート店だ。ミルクや抹茶などベーシックなフレーバーに加え、季節限定の味がある。牧場でしぼりたてのミルクをジェラートにしているという。甘さが控えめで、おいしいジェラートだ。牧場も一部開放されており、少しだが散策も楽しめる。問題はアクセス道。道が狭いルートをたどったので少しストレスだ。広い道があるので行くときはホームページで確認するといい。

    高島屋の裏に近い場所にあります。 地理的詳しくないので場所はマップで調べていただければと思います。 岡山でも老舗のお店が移転して新規にオープンしたとのこと。 新しめの店内は明るく、入店すると目の前にカウンターとテーブル席、奥に座敷がある感じ。 来店した時は平日なのに満席。 21時以降は少し余裕がありました。 事前に予約してコースを注文。 前菜3種、刺身盛り、小鉢、焼き魚、煮魚、たたき、握り寿司、味...

Okayama Areas

around-area-map

Overshadowed by Hiroshima to the west and the Kansai region to the east, Okayama is an easy spot to miss but a nature-rich gem where the Seto Inland Sea laps at its toes and peach and grape farms complete its interior. One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Koraku-en in Okayama city is well worth a visit before progressing to Kurashiki, where preserved wooden Edo buildings line the picturesque canal.
