Amazake Chaya tea house

Gourmet / Alcohol

Kanagawa Pref. Ashigarashimogunhakonemachi Hatajuku Nikozan 395-28

This is a Japanese tea house with 400years of tradition located in a dangerous spot of the Tokaido road, halfway up Mt. Hakone. During the Edo period, the tea house was used as a rest area before the Hakone checking station, while nowadays it is more familiar as a rest area for hikers walking through Hakone. The production process for “amazake” (a traditional Japanese drink made from fermented rice) has remained unchanged since ancient times, using koji (rice malt) has been used in the fermentation process since the Edo period; the amazake is non-alcoholic, has a gentle sweetness even though it is produced without sugar, so it has been used to good advantage by travelers to get rid of fatigue. There are also packs of amazake which you can buy to take home. One of the shop’s specialties is also “Chikara-mochi” (a glutinous rice cake) which is gently baked over charcoal until it puffs up.

Our guide took us to this chaya for amazake. Its the only remaining chaya in the area with an old building from the Edo era. Worth a stop to see the building and a taste of old Japan.

Kanagawa Pref. Kamakurashi Sasuke 2-6-1

This is a popular Japanese-style sweet shop on the road from Kamakura Station west exit to Zeniarai Benzaiten Shrine. Guests of any age can spend a relaxing time in the simple, refined interior. The courtyard is a Japanese-style garden with benches and arbors. They make each person’s sweet to order, and with this freshness comes a unique elasticity and pleasant feeling of the sweet going down one’s throat. The easy-to-eat “kuzukiri” (kudzu starch noodles) with refreshingly sweet black sugar is a popular option.

Kanagawa Pref. Kamakurashi Yukinoshita 1-5-38

This is an old Japanese teahouse established in 1968, around a five-minute walk from the entrance of Komachi-dori Street from Kamakura Station. Rebuilt in 2011, it nevertheless retains the calm and refined atmosphere of the time. The most popular choice is “cream anmitsu” (syrup-covered bean jam) where one can choose ice cream topped with vanilla or matcha powdered tea. The “Ogura Shiratama,” where one can eat many freshly-made doughy shiratama (rice dumplings) is another popular option.

粉汁子は手間がかかるので大抵の甘味処は粒あんぜんざいのみです。そんな時世にもめげず心をこめた粉汁粉は我が家の冬の定番です。ただお店の主人が体力的にきついので止めることも考えているそうですから早めにどうぞ。

鎌倉はどこも混雑していて並ぶのが嫌なので平日月曜日に行ってみたが、15寺閉店とドア前に看板がかかっていて驚いた。早くても17時くらいだと思うし、ネット情報には18時としか出ていない。騙された気分。駅から離れているし、そこまで甘味目的でもないし2度と行かない。

Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture Yuigahama 3-2-13

This unusual Japanese café and sweet shop requires visitors to cross the tracks of the Enoshima Electric Railway at Wadazuka Station, despite the lack of a proper railway crossing point. The café’s garden blooms with seasonal flowers such as Japanese apricot, chrysanthemum, and camellias, which, together with the Enoshima Electric Railway running just beyond, creates a stunning bit of scenery. The shop’s mamekan (a sweet dish of peas with kanten jelly) is particularly popular and lovingly prepared with red peas from Hokkaido slowly stewed over three days without breaking the skin. The shop also offers seasonal items such as the summer-only Shiratama azuki (sweet adzuki beans with mochi) and the winter-only inaka shiruko (old fashioned sweet adzuki bean soup) and ankoro mochi (mochi wrapped in sweet adzuki bean paste).
