Kakko-ya

Candy Store
This sweets store is located in Ichinoseki City, Iwate Prefecture. Right in the middle of the sightseeing spot Genbi Gorge, you can eat dango dumplings while enjoying the superb view. Their famous kakko dango dumplings are made in three flavors: mitarashi (sweet soy sauce), sesame and anko (red bean paste). In addition, you can make orders from the cliff opposite the store, and since the dumplings are transported across in a basket, they have become known as flying dango.

    最近行ったら台湾からのツアー観光客対応をしていました。カゴに台湾と日本の国旗をさして、テレサ・テンみたいな歌謡曲を流してお団子が滑降してくる様子はとても喜ばれていました。ここで食べるのが喜ばれるけど、店内の縁側で緑と渓谷をみながら食べるのもおすすめです。ちなみに私はごまと5本組にはいってる胡桃が好き。
