Japanese Confectionery

This long-established Japanese confectionery shop is located in the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter of Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture and opened in 1877. It is the shop that created the famous Kurashiki sweet “Murasuzume,” which is made by taking a thin crepe and coating the browned side with coarse sweet red bean paste and wrapped in the shape of half moon. You can purchase Murasuzume made by expert bakers, and can even try your own hand at baking some. It takes about five minutes, and you can choose between regular and jumbo sizes. Visitors will take turns making them after applying.

美観地区の入り口付近にある。販売と喫茶、それと手焼き体験のコーナーがある。この日は友人が手焼き体験にチャレンジ。普通の大きさだけでなく、数倍あるような＜大＞にも挑戦した。鉄板にちょうどクレープを焼くように生地を丸く広げ、あんこを中に入れて包む。＜大＞は白玉も入っていた。あんこの味がいい。甘くなく、ちょうどよかった。

店內可手作體驗麻雀餅DIY，工作人員很貼心的在旁指導，鍋爐會有點燙，不建議小朋友嘗試，做完在現場品嘗時，還有提供熱茶！整體體驗非常不錯~

Okayama Main Areas

Overshadowed by Hiroshima to the west and the Kansai region to the east, Okayama is an easy spot to miss but a nature-rich gem where the Seto Inland Sea laps at its toes and peach and grape farms complete its interior. One of Japan's Three Great Gardens, Koraku-en in Okayama city is well worth a visit before progressing to Kurashiki, where preserved wooden Edo buildings line the picturesque canal.
