    Mie Pref. Matsusakashi Kyoumachi 301
    This store is adjacent to JR Matsusaka Station. It is known for its wide range of products ranging from food to accessories. They sell Matsusaka beef that they'll ship regionally, famous Matsusaka sweets, local cotton, marine products, and merchandise featuring a local character known as Chachamo. For a shop of its size, it has plenty to choose from and is perfect for your Mie and Matsusaka souvenir shopping. Lots of visitors stop by while waiting for the train, and the parking lot in front of the station makes it easy if you're coming by car.

    JR松阪駅と同じ駅舎、並びといったところでしょうか。お店そのものはお土産屋さんです。私自身は入店後すぐに牛肉コーナーへ、さすがに高いです。他にもいろいろ有ります。

They also sell handmade cream puffs, pudding and castella sponge cake using plenty of cage-free fertilized eggs.

    Mie Tsu-shi Daimon 8-5

    繁華街の小綺麗な店舗。出来たて(蒸したて)を提供してくれるので買った直後はものすごく熱い。手提げのビニール袋にも空気を逃がす穴が空いているが、とても抜けきれないので、暫くそのままにしておくと、中の包装紙がふにゃふにゃになってします。甘さを抑えたこしあんで、優しい味なので年齢を問わず好まれるのではないか。どうやら水曜日が休みなのか、津市駅の直売も売っていなかった(翌日買いましたけど)。

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.
