    ※正確には湯の坪横丁の菊家ではなく駐車場の前にある店舗のほうの事です。 ぷりんどらをお土産にするべく、花麹菊家をナビで検索したら車が入れない道端沿いでナビ終了して困っていたら、駐車場を見つけたので車を止めてきょろきょろしていると、道を挟んで目の前の大きな和菓子屋さんの入口に「ぷりんどら」ののぼりを発見。入って店員さんに聞くと、駐車場の下に降りて歩いて散策できる小路があり、そこにあるとのこと。でもこ...

    Oita Pref. Yufushi Yufuinchoukawakami 1488-1
    A Japanese confection shop located in Yufuincho, Yufu City, Oita Prefecture located a one-minute walk from Lake Kinrin. This elegant shop, surrounded by trees, is filled with sweets masterfully crafted with the choicest of ingredients, such as only the smallest of renowned Hokkaido adzuki beans. The shop’s most popular item is its fresh yokan (sweet bean jelly), which is not overly sweet and leaves a clean aftertaste. The rich egg and honey flavor of Hanayori’s dorayaki (sponge cakes with filling) is perfectly matched by the sweetness of its coarse red bean paste filling; they also make a popular snack to enjoy while strolling about Yufuin.

    After visiting Kinrinko, I was craving for some sweets. I stopped by this cafe. There is indoor and outdoor sitting area. Kushidango is their most selling item. Dozen flavors to choose. I ordered...

    Oita Taketa-shi Taketamachi 40
    This longstanding Japanese confectionary shop, a 10-minute walk from JR Bungo-Taketa Station, is the oldest such establishment in the prefecture, having been established in 1804. In the Edo period, the shop was an official purveyor of confections to the bygone Oka Domain. The shop's signature Mikasano and Kojo no Tsuki confections were originally officially presented to the lords of the domain; even today, they are popular and are two of Taketa's most well-known Japanese sweets. Depending on the time of day, you can watch Mikasano being made, and enjoy fresh baked ones along with a cup of tea in the adjoining Sabo Dandan cafe. The shop also sells seasonal namagashi fresh Japanese confections.

    豆田上町通りの北端付近にある小さな饅頭屋です。9月下旬久留米からの行楽客として初来店。テイクアウトしたのは「かんぎえん」と「そば饅頭」。2個ずつで460円だった様に覚えています。賞味期限は明後日までですよ念を押されながら退散。当日のオヤツにしましたが、「かんぎえん」の中に栗が丸ごと1個入っていたのは想定外。外皮の白、抹茶餡の緑、栗の黄という割面もインスタ映え。外皮は山芋入らしく、舌触りがかるかん風...

    Oita Hita-shi Mamedamachi 8-15
    This longstanding Western confectionary shop, established in 1891, stands on the Mamedamachi Shopping Street's Miyuki-dori Street a five-minute drive from Hita Station as well as the Hita Interchange. As hinted at by its name, the shop primarily sells yokan jelly. The shop's Akashi Hita Yokan jelly is made by hand according to a traditional recipe. Sold as single large blocks wrapped in attractive packaging, as the jelly nears its best-by date, the surface gradually saccharifies and turns white. Happily, customers can also choose jelly wrapped in packs designed to prevent this saccharification from occurring if they so desire. The shop's exquisite yuzu citrus fruit yokan jelly is only available for a limited time each year.

    まずお店の店構え、雰囲気が好きです。 店内では試食ができて味が選びやすいです。 一枚物の昔ながらの羊羹はお値段も1500円とお高いですが、味も最高です。羊羹の周りが糖化してザラザラになった時に食べると又美味しさ倍増です。おススメです。

Oita Areas

A trip to Oita is tantamount to a long soak in the Beppu baths. The mountainous, coastal prefecture of Oita is renowned for having more onsen than any other prefecture in Japan, most of which lie in the city of Beppu on the west coast of Kyushu, recognizable by its pungent sulphuric aroma and the clouds of steam that puff up across the hillside. Away from the Beppu hot springs await mountains, waterfalls, and temples, so don’t hesitate to explore Oita a little further.
