    "This long-established Japanese confectionery shop was founded in 1917. The shop sells traditional confectionery such as ""Yamaguchi Uiro,"" a traditional confectionery representative of Yamaguchi, as well as carefully prepared fresh confectionery and limited-edition products made with select ingredients. The popular Uiro is a representative confectionery characterized by its soft texture and elegant flavor of bracken starch. The elegant flavor and texture reminiscent of the Kyoto of the west is perfect for tea, as well as a gift or a souvenir. Products such as ""Kaiko Manju,"" which is made from Hokkaido azuki bean paste and tsukune potatoes, and ""Hime Mikasa,"" which is wrapped in hand-baked dough with glisteningly cooked granulated bean paste, are also popular."

    ういろうといえば名古屋、ではなく福岡に伝来して、小田原辺りまで伝わったものなんだそう。そして、山口もまたういろうの名産地の一つとのこと。柔らかめの、優しい味のういろう、おすすめです!

    "This Japanese confectionery shop was founded in 1927. Just a short walk from Yamaguchi Station, it continues to make the traditional confectionery ""Yamaguchi Uiro"" that dates back to the Muromachi period (1336-1573). The beautiful pale violet and the peculiar texture reminiscent of the calm ancient capital of Yamaguchi give it an elegant taste that has not changed even now since ancient times. The most popular product is ""Shirouiro,"" which is addictive with its gentle sweetness and refreshing elegance. It sells ""Kurouiro"" kneaded with Okinawan brown sugar, ""Matcha Uiro"" kneaded with matcha green tea from Kyoto, and ""Hina Uiro"" associated with hishi-mochi of the Doll's Festival and shaped like a diamond."

    豆子郎さんしかういろうは知らなかったし そこがベストだと思っていた、、、が! 御堀堂さんのういろうを食べたときに ん?うまい!!!! となりました。あっさり味の豆子郎さんよりも味に深みがあります。 個人的には白色をお勧めしてます。 県外のお友達にお土産に大量に買い、分けてます笑 運転しながら自分も食べたりして♪ 若い女性の接客が素晴らしく感心しました。 ういろうは、豆子郎さんだけではないというこ...

    Yamaguchi Yamaguchi-shi Ouchimihori 1-1-3
    "This Japanese confectionery store was founded in 1948. It sells toshiro, baked sweets, and confectionery for happy and unhappy occasions, among other items. There is a teahouse inside overlooking the Japanese garden ""Ouchi Shikitei."" The representative confectionery ""Suzushi Toshiro,"" is made from the famous product of Yamaguchi ""Yamaguchi Uiro."" Dainagon (large, dark red beans) and white azuki beans are hidden with the flavors of azuki beans and matcha green tea, and the taste of the dough and beans complement each other, making this sweet different from Yamaguchi Uiro. They sell seasonal products such as mugwort in the spring and chestnuts in the fall."

    This is a niice Japanese foods and garden which is situated at the old Ouchi Lord period (in Yamaguchi) with older Japanese healthy cade of Toshiro foods.

    Yamaguchi Yamaguchi-shi Nakaichicho 6-15
    "This long-established Japanese confectionery store was founded in 1883. It is located in a corner of Nakaichi shopping street and sells signature products such as ""Meika Shitatsuzumi,"" uiro and castellas. The Meika Shitatsuzumi, which has been improved over and over again, is an elegant treat with a combination of fluffy rice cake and white smooth bean paste. The molding of rice cake manju buns, which collapses if even a little force is applied, is still done by hand. Since it can be purchased from a single item, it is perfect as souvenirs from Yamaguchi."

    山口の銘菓、舌鼓は山陰堂のお菓子であり山口を代表する製菓品でもある。一口サイズの大きさは子どもたちも食べやすい。口の中に舌鼓を入れると柔らかいもちの感触と、中に入った砂糖の甘い味を織り交ぜた白あんが出てくる感じになり、とてもおいしい。

    新幹線改札口正面にお土産屋さんが集まった一角にあるお菓子屋さんです。そこで「月でひろった卵のプリン」を購入です。新幹線内で食べるお菓子を探していましたが、名前で選んでしまいました。それでもとても美味しく感じました。投稿写真で栗三笠も有りますが、これは別のお店です。

    温天ざる950円。 店内に表記はないけど真っ黒の蕎麦はおそらく十割蕎麦。違うかな。 狭めの店内。注文してからしばらく待ちます。 接客は男性1人が注文受けから配膳、会計、和菓子の接客までされているので忙しそうで声がかけにくいです。 蕎麦屋の蕎麦が初めてなのでウキウキして食べました! 十割蕎麦ってボソボソして食べにくいと思っていたのですが、全然そんな事なくてクセもなく食べやすかったです。 麺だ...

Yamaguchi Areas

Heading west along Japan’s largest island, Honshu, the very last prefecture you’ll reach is Yamaguchi, separated from Kyushu by a small strip of water known as the Kanmon Straits, which the far-reaching harbor city Shimonoseki looks over. With water at every turn, the seafood of Yamaguchi is an indisputable highlight, and we’re not talking just the usual fish dishes - the notorious fugu, or puffer fish, is a Japanese delicacy that was discovered in Yamaguchi prefecture, making it the best place to try it out.
