Kinchouen Sohonke (Ogaki Station Front Main Shop)

Japanese Confectionery
This long-established Japanese sweets shop has been operated for over 200 years. Their famous item is “Kinchouen Manju,” steamed buns of sweetened bean paste rinsed with Ogaki’s famous water and wrapped in Japanese sake yeast buns. They faithfully continue to make the confectionery using a 150 year-old recipe. Another one is mizu-manju (sweetened bean paste stuffed in kudzu starch jelly), made using plenty of Ogaki’s famous water. The shop displays them not in a glass showcase but in water, selling them in a cool atmosphere. You can also eat the sweets in the cafe area inside the store.

  • 大垣名物、金蝶園饅頭

    大垣城近くにある、金蝶園総本家。大垣駅前にも古い町家のお店があります。大垣名物の金蝶園饅頭をいただきました。1個からバラでも販売されています。あっさりしたこし餡の饅頭。160年以上前から変わらぬ製法とのことです。夏は是非店内で水饅頭を食べて下さいとおすすめされました。

    古くから良質な地下水に恵まれ水の都と呼ばれた大垣は水まんじゅう発祥の地だそうです。この店の名物の水まんじゅうは、中のこしあんも甘さ控えめで、さらりと滑らか口当たりでした。

    大垣名物水まんじゅうのシーズンにはお店の前にテントが出てました。冷たい湧き水に冷やされたまんじゅうを涼しい店内で味わえます。大垣といえばここです。
