They offer hand-made cuisine, a variety of cakes, and seasonal sweets (available from 2:00 p.m.,). Seats are limited, so it's best to make a reservation by the day before at the latest.

    "An udon noodle restaurant dedicated to the concept of local production for local consumption and which makes its noodles with ""Sanuki-no-Yume 2009"" flour. The restaurant is actually a mochi rice cake shop which has been in business since the early Showa period, and the establishment takes a break from offering udon during the busy Bon Festival and New Year's periods. The restaurant's exquisite noodles are chewy in texture and carry the subtle flavor of the Kagawa's ""Sanuki-no-Yume 2009"" flour with which they are exclusively made. In addition to udon, the restaurant menu also includes set meals, ohagi (rice ball coated with sweetened red beans), sekihan (steamed rice with red beans), mochi rice cakes, and more."

    「灸まん」は「かまど」と共に、琴平の歴史を見てきたのだろうな、と思います。とりわけ美味しいお菓子か？と問われると、答えにくいですが（笑）、きたら必ずお土産に購入するのも確かです。

    Kagawa Pref. Zentsujishi Zentsujichou 3-4-11
    Kumaoka Kashiten is a retro-style traditional Japanese confectionery store. It sells Ishi-pan (“Stone Bread”) biscuits, which are reputed to be the hardest type of traditional confectionery in Japan. Ishi-pan was originally made as emergency rations for soldiers in wartime, as it keeps for a long time. Despite the fact that no drying agents or preservatives are used in the process of making them, they keep for around a month before going off; Ishi-pan became famous throughout Japan for how well it kept. Ishi-pan is much harder than ordinary hardtack biscuits, so much so that young children and senior citizens may find it impossible to chew. Ishi-pan has a slightly sweet flavor, with a hint of ginger.

    小粒の石パンを購入出来ました。ショーケースの中身が少なくなっていたのですが、満杯に追加されホッとしました。 猶、観光客の利用も多いようで近くには駐車場も完備されていました。 因みに店頭販売だけでイートインスペースはありませんでした。

Kagawa Areas

around-area-map

Japan’s smallest prefecture, Kagawa, may take up just a small corner of Shikoku, but it has grown increasingly popular with the recognition of Naoshima, its "art island" in the Seto Inland Sea between Shikoku and Honshu. Just a stone’s throw from the islands, mainland Kagawa’s prefectural capital, Takamatsu, holds history in its castle ruins and its pride and joy, Ritsurin Garden, is known as one of the country’s best gardens.
