Matsuda Shorindo

Japanese Confectionery

4.0

"A Japanese sweet shop founded in 1868. It is designed like a traditional storehouse, and you can distinguish it by its large wooden sign. The specialty is white hard candies called ""Akegarasu"" made with walnuts and sesame. The sweet got its name from the shape of the walnuts that resemble crows (karasu) when cut in half. In addition to this, they also have candies made with lots of wild grape, candies made with concentrated sugar, and a special baumkuchen cake made to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the publication of The Legends of Tono."

遠野駅から徒歩数分のメインストリートにあるお菓子やさん。日本人形が飾られ昔から続く老舗の風格があるお店だ。お菓子やさんではゆず味のモナカを勝手食べたが一枚でお腹に重くのし掛かる味。お茶やコーヒーと相性が抜群だ
なんだか懐かしい味

物語の館など観光地の多い中心部にある老舗のお菓子屋さん。銘菓「明がらす」，試食として丸ごと一ついただき，女将さんから色々教えていただきました。明がらすは，上品で甘さ控えめ，なんだか懐かしい味でした
女将さんのうんちくもなかなかです

遠野の「明がらす」のお店の中でも最右翼といった位置付けの店。お菓子の包装に熊野の八咫烏をあしらったりして。胡桃の欠片の切り口が烏に似ているということで付いた名前だとか。女将さんのうんちくもなかなかです。
