    Mie Pref. Iseshi Kawasaki 2-13-5
    This long-established Japanese confectionary shop was founded in 1860. It is said that it began with steamed manju that was served to shrine visitors who came by boat from Ise Bay. Their specialty is Itoin Senbei, created as a confection in tribute to the emperor's Ise Jingu Shrine visit in 1905. A senbei rice cracker made from a thinly baked batter of egg, sugar and flour, it is bake with an itoin (old Chinese seal) mark on the surface. The seal is derived from a copper seal that was used as a proof of transaction in the raw silk trade with China. In addition, the store also sells seasonal Japanese sweets made mostly of bean paste.

    Mie Pref. Iseshi Ujimazaikechou 63
    This long-established sweets shop has been in operation for 450 years since the Azuchi-Momoyama period (1573-1600). Its specialty is their namesake taikou mochi. They are made by wrapping elegant anko bean paste in mochi rice cake dough, and carefully grilling both sides. Taikou Hideyoshi, who occasionally visited Ise Jingu Shrine and made large donations, is said to have eaten this taikou mochi when in Ise, and was given this name because he wrote Bimi nari (It is delicious) when describing it. At the eat-in space inside the shop, you can enjoy taikou mochi right there together with tea or zenzai (red bean soup).

    参拝後に行きました。試食にお餅を1ついただき、中はこしあん、平べったい白いおもちです。 食べやすいサイズです。賞味期限は3日、食べきれなければ冷凍してもよいそう。脱気したものもあり、そちらは1週間程度いけるそうです。 お土産に購入しました。

    Mie Pref. Iseshi Miyajiri 2-2-8
    This long-established sweets shop was founded in 1923. Their specialty is the traditional Japanese sweet called uiro that uses brown sugar. In addition to standard products such as red bean paste, matcha, chestnut, white (refined sugar) and mugwort, they also have about 10 limited varieties for each season. Because they do not use preservatives, it is recommended that you eat them soon after purchasing. Their baby castella sponge cake kotorayaki, shaped into the figure of a humorous tiger, is one of their hidden gems.

    Shiratama-ya is a simple, old-style Japanese confectionary. Its most famous product is Shiratama, the source of the shop's name, an uncooked confection made from pureed bean paste wrapped in finely milled rice flour. A charming feature of this sweet is the three-colored center, red, yellow, and green, meant to represent the four seasons. The shop's Manju, associated with the Edo period figure, Seki no Koman, who avenged her father's death when she was only 18, are another popular product. Pieces of peach, chestnut, and plum fruit are wrapped inside a yellow paste dough made with egg yolk. The shop also carries Daifuku (glutinous rice stuffed with a filling) and unbaked sweets that are inspired by seasonal flowers. These sweets are sold by the piece, and customers can enjoy their favorites with a cup of green tea inside the store.

    関宿にある菓子店で正式名は「前田屋製菓」の関店。看板商品は暖簾にも記されている関宿名物「志ら玉」(1個100円)で、江戸時代から旅人に親しまれてきた。上新粉の生地の中にこしあんが入っている大福のようなもので、上面に赤、緑、黄の三色の彩りが添えられている。素朴な味わいだが古い町並みの雰囲気に合っており、関宿散策のお供にピッタリなものとなっている。

    伊賀に寄った記念に、和菓子を何種類か買い求めたのですが、どれも美味しい!と話題になりました。 控えめな甘さで、どれも誰からも美味しいと言われそうなお味でした。 オンラインでの販売もしているようなので、他のお菓子も食べてみたいと思います。

    Kagi-ya is a mochi shop that sells both inexpensive candies and Japanese-style sweets in a corner of the Shichifuku Shopping District, which runs through the center of Iga-Ueno, the so-called Ninja Village. Its most famous product is Ninja Dango, supposedly inspired by the ninja warriors: sweet rice paste dumplings served two-by-two on skewers, with a white head and a blue-green body. This shop is said to have been in existence for over 350 years, and the Ninja Dango, a long-time favorite of local residents, were available long before ninja became a famous part of Japanese popular culture. Inspired by Shirimochi-zaka Slope on the Yamato Road, mentioned in the works of the haiku poet Basho, Shirimochi is another well-known product. In the summer, the shop sells shaved ice, and unlike most such vendors, it still uses an electrically powered ice shaving machine, whose sound gives the process a nostalgic feeling.

    レトロな和菓子屋さんでした。お餅や他にお菓子などいろいろ揃っていて駄菓子屋みたいな感じで楽しかったです。

Spread across the eastern side of the Kii Peninsula, Mie prefecture boasts hundreds of kilometers of pretty coastline comprising the oyster-rich Toba city and Shima National Park all the way down to Kumano, a city that marks the beginning of part of the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage, which runs into neighboring Wakayama prefecture. However, Mie is best known for the Ise Jingu Shinto shrine inland, one of the oldest and largest shrines in the country.
