    Hokkaido Kamedagunnanaechou Onumachou 145
    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.

    This confectionery store is located five minutes' walk from Matsumae Castle. A variety of Japanese and Western confectionery is sold here, centered around the store's main product, Awabi Monaka, made in the image of awabi (abalone) which is a specialty product of Matsumae. Matsumae's famous Awabi Monaka is a confectionery filled with the bean paste made from the finest adzuki beans and mochi in the image of abalone adductor. The balance between the fragrant outer layer and the fine bean paste in the center is also incredible. The pink colored castella, Hana no Matsumae, with its cherry liquor fragrance and identity as a famous confectionery a symbol of Matsumae City, one of the most prominent spots in Japan for cherry blossoms, is also very popular as a souvenir or gift.

    "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。

    繁次郎という饅頭が名物。この繁次郎というのは、かつて江差に実在していたとんちと笑いの有名人なのだそうです。 基本的には、栗饅頭。頭のところにチョコレートのコーティングがあって、それがデザインとなっています。

    江差の法華寺通り商店街。お店の前には船のイカリが置いてあります。 弁財船最中が名物。弁財船というのは北前船のこと。弁財船を象った形の裏側には江差追分の歌詞もあって、思い入れが強いことも窺えます。

    七飯町らしいたい焼きです。薄くスライスされたりんごのシャキシャキ感とカスタードクリームがマッチしています。七飯町のりんご利用した食を試みました。アップルパイは一番ですが、これも良いですね。りんごパンも扱う店もあります。

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.
