I took a rest at this famous traditional sweets café and shop after visiting to Taimadera temple. These kind of sweets are often so so taste because most of tourists never coming back to same places...

美味しいですが車で行くには難しいです。2個パックでも綺麗に包装までしてくれてしかも包装料無料！でも行くのに一本道を延々となかなか難易度あります。大阪からはそんなに距離無いの時間はかかります。混んでますが待ち時間はそんなにかかりません。
當麻寺参拝前に腹ごしらえ

お店は9時オープンなので、當麻寺参拝前の腹ごしらえ、遅い朝ごはんで初来店。草餅の上にこし餡ののった中将餅とぜんざいを一つずつ注文して店内でいただきました。草餅はよもぎの風味がしっかりしていて、こし餡もぜんざいは甘さ控えめで非常に食べやすかったです。お土産にもいいと思います。
