    Kanagawa Naka-gun Oisomachi Oiso 1107

    外側は柔らかい生地ではなく密な舌触りで、故に中にたっぷりと詰め込まれた漉し餡の重さをしっかり支えています。それでいて平な形に抑えてあるので重すぎず、もう一個ほしくなります。重厚さと軽さのバランスの良さを吉田首相も気に入られたのでしょうか?昔の政治家はそうであったように。

    "This Japanese confectionary shop is located a two-minute walk from Keikyu Tsurumi Station. The shop is famous for its Yone Manju buns, which are even mentioned in the song, ""Oedo Nihonbashi."" The Yone Manju, selected for inclusion in the 100 Famous Products of Kanagawa list, are a renowned confection which were originally sold in front of Kinryuji Temple in Tokyo's Asakusa. Consisting of a thin skin of Habutae mochi rice cake stuffed with fillings, they went out of production for a time but were brought back with some modern twists to commemorate the 30th anniversary of a confectionary association after the end of World War II. They are sold with three fillings - red bean paste, white bean paste, and plum paste; they go great with matcha green tea as well."

    Kanagawa Kamakura-shi Nishi-Kamakura 2-2-7
    Established as Matsuno Honten in Higashi Kanagawa in 1917. The third owner changed the name of the shop and moved it to Kamakura. Since then, it has been making Japanese sweets that suit modern people's palates while keeping close to the traditions of the ancient city of Kamakura. Their sweets are on the small side so that more people get the chance to enjoy the colors and flavors. They use only the best rice, beans, and other ingredients, and avoid preservatives whenever possible.

    信濃屋なき後は、西鎌倉唯一の和菓子屋さん。 和菓子の種類が偏っている感じがする。 こちらを非常に絶賛している方がいるが、それに値するかどうかは私には微妙だ。

Kanagawa Areas

around-area-map

Kanagawa prefecture acts as an extension of the Tokyo metropolis that spills over into coastal towns, most notably Yokohama city, heavily populated and known for its Chinatown and seaside attractions. Just the right distance for a day trip out of Tokyo, Kanagawa is home to some of Tokyo’s most accessible beaches, including around Kamakura, best known for its Big Buddha. Visitors can also travel a little farther afield for a weekend at Hakone onsen town.
