- GIFU PHOTO ALBUM -
This venerable traditional Japanese sweet shop established in 1926 is located in Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture. It is lined with simple, traditional Japanese confectionery such as seasonal namagashi (Japanese unbaked sweets) , higashi ( Japanese dry sweets that keep longer) and rakugan (a kind of dry sweets made of rice flour and sugar,etc.) You can get a sense of regionality and history from the local sweets kuriyose (chestnuts in red bean paste) and yomogi manju (red bean paste-filled steamed cakes with Japanese mugwort). Besides the namagashi and higashi offered every season, they also have traditional Takayama dagashi sweets such as kokusen (starch syrup, sesame, sweet soy flour mixed and then panned into thin sheets) and kankanbo (soy butter sticks). The flavors are gentle and nostalgic, and traditional ingredients are used like soybeans, sesame and peanuts. Their assortments of seasonal higashi with rakugan, neri-yokan (firm red bean jelly) and usuyuki (“light snow”) is recommended.

Gifu Areas
Tucked away in the very center of Japan, Gifu prefecture houses mountains, old towns, and one of Japan’s greatest hot springs, Gero Onsen. A tour of the prefecture’s traditional architecture will take you from the mountain-enveloped wooden streets of Takayama to the mountain village of Shirakawago, where visitors can explore 250-year-old thatched roofed houses known as gassho-zukuri.
