Miyashita Shoten

"A sweet shop with a green awning located right near Sakitsu Church, also known as the ""Church of the Sea."" They sell sugi yokan sweet bean jelly, a Sakitsu local favorite. The traditional sweet with its bright red coloring is made by filling non-glutinous mochi rice cakes with homemade sweet bean paste. It is said that more than 200 years ago a delegation from the Ryukyu king taught the locals how to make it in gratitude for rescuing them when they were shipwrecked nearby. The unique texture only lasts one day because no additives are used. It's a traditional flavor you won't be able to try unless you visit Sakitsu."
