This long-established sweet shop located near JR Onuma Park Station was founded in 1905. It is the founder of the specialty of Onuma, “Onuma Dango Dumplings”, and began when the founders sold dumplings to tourists who would arrive on the train. There are three flavors: bean paste, sesame and soy sauce, and they are not on a skewer but in a folded box so they would be easy to eat even in the train. Even now the traditional taste continues, and it is a beloved representative of Onuma souvenirs.

Hokkaido Otaru-shi Ironai 1-1-12 Otaru Unga Terminal 1F

This store sells panju, a specialty product of Otaru, which is soft on the inside and crisp on the outside. The word panju has even been added to the Kojien Japanese dictionary. At four centimeters tall and three centimeters wide, it is the size of a takoyaki, and has fillings of cream and cheese available. Panju has been used as an everyday snack since the Meiji period and was a reasonably priced food for common folk in a time when bread was still expensive. The snack is carefully handmade with 100% Hokkaido-produced crisp dough, and hot and plenty of fillings. It is best eaten freshly baked, but is also very nice when enjoyed at home after being heated by a microwave and finished off in an oven toaster to get that characteristic crisp outer texture.

After lunch, was walking around the area and spotted the signboard outside Otaru Canal terminal which showed these cute little panju and decided to have a taste. Kuwataya’s panju is a popular...

Hokkaido Hiyama-gun Esashicho Honcho 38

"This Japanese confectionery store was founded in Esashi town in 1870. The authentic ""Marukan-Yokan"", cut by a string, and ""Nagashi-Yokan"", are made with great care. It takes great skill to knead the beans, agar and sugar which begins early in the morning and takes all day. The shop is proud of its tradition and continues making products with the same, unchanging flavor. Other than yokan (sweet bean jelly), Monaka (red bean filled wafers) castella, and seasonal Japanese confectionary are available, and all make great gifts. The old-fashioned packaging is popular."

明治時代以前からあるお菓子の店で、江差名物の羊羹で有名。丸缶に入っているのが特徴だが一枚板になっているタイプもある。他にたい焼きのような鮭の形をしたあきあじ最中もある。今は函館市内や空港にも売っているのでわざわざ江差で買うほどでもないが、せっかく江差に来たらいにしえ街道から坂を上がって新地町まで行き、本店を訪れてみたい。

Hokkaido Areas

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
