Tenmeido

4.5

Kawashiri is a district filled with old-fashioned buildings bearing white stucco walls and lattice doors. This confectionary shop, located a five-minute walk from Kawashiri Station, has been making delicious and healthy sweets which celebrate the area's distinctive features since it was established during the Tenmei era (1781-1789). The shop's signature product is its Tenmei Manju, a bun stuffed with a flavorful egg yolk filling and sprinkled with fine-grained zarame granulated sugar before baking. The buns have a crumbly texture and are renowned for going well with both tea and coffee. The shop also actively incorporates European confectionary methods; for example, the shop's Cheese Manju, a baked bun with a cookie-like outer crust stuffed with cream cheese, has enjoyed much popularity thanks to this novel combination.

熊本市の「川尻」というと、私にとっちゃ「たしか西南戦争の激戦地・・・」という記憶なのですが（熊本県内各地が、西南戦争の“激戦地”になったのですが）・・・、かつては薩摩街道の宿場町と水運の拠点として、栄えた町です。今も古い家屋が旧道沿いに並ぶ、趣のある地域です。それはさておき甘いもの大好き！の彼女にとっては、地元のタウン誌に取り上げられた「くずきり和風蜜かき氷」を食べたい-！っということ...
