    Wakayama Pref. Higashimurogunkushimotochou Shionomisaki 470
    This yokan (sweet bean jelly) specialty shop is in Kushimoto Town, Higashimuro County, Wakayama Prefecture. It opened in 1900 and operated over four generations before closing down once. The current owner used recipes he found in his grandfather’s Buddhist altar to recreate the original taste. The shop’s flagship product is the “hon-neri yokan,” of which only 200 can be produced daily. Each one is carefully made using Hokkaido azuki beans and agar from Osaka. The shop was recently awarded first place at the Monde Selection competition. The surface is crispy and has a unique dry texture.

    もみじ屋さんの羊羹、マスコミにもよく取り上げられていたのでどんなものかな？ 車で行ける範囲だったので直接伺いました！ サバンナの高橋さんによく似た物腰の柔らかい主人が色々な種類の羊羹を試食にと子供の頃 大好きだった宿木の和菓子によく似た感じで外皮の乾燥したパリパリは中身の美味しさを守っていそうな感じのする羊羹 今回は桜を買いました！ 彦摩呂さんだったら『口の中はさくら満開や』と言うかな？ 次は抹茶...

    Wakayama Pref. Higashimurogunnachikatsurachou Ichinono 3434-1
    This historic Japanese sweet shop was founded in Osaka in 1624. It's approximately five minutes on foot from Daimonzaka's Married Cedars on the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route. In the quest for the best water for making their sweets, they opened this store in Katsuura to use spring water from Mt. Nachi. Visitors can observe their facility's crafting process with its dedication to flavor and safety. They use Okinawa made sugar for an array of items like ice cream, karinto manju treats, and their original kuro-ame sweets that are meant to be reminiscent of Kishu binchotan charcoal. Meals that feature local marine produce like their raw tuna-topped rice bowls are available too.

    那智黒あめって食べたことありますよね。ソフトクリームはいかがですか？そのまま、期待通りの味をソフトクリームで味わうことができます。ご自身向けのお土産はこれですよ！

    Wakayama Tanabe-shi Kitashinmachi 1
    Located in the center of Tanabe, a city along the Kumano Kodo Pilgrimage Route, about a 15-minute drive from the Nanki Tanabe Interchange on the Hanwa Expressway via National Route 42, this is a venerable retailer of traditional Japanese sweets. Its flagship product is Okeshi Mochi, a simple round, flat cake of rice paste covered on both sides with sweet red bean paste. The soft, chewiness of the pounded Mochi cake and the perfectly salted, not-too-sweet flavor of the bean paste make this a popular item, and it is said to have been a favorite of Minakata Kumagusu, the famous 19th-century scholar in natural history and folklore studies. Since these confections do not keep more than a day, one can taste them only here. In the back of the shop is a tea corner, where customers can enjoy a cup of tea with their sweets.

    紀伊田辺駅から闘鶏神社と逆の方に行くとあります。お餅の上に粒あんをのせた辻の餅が名物です。シンプルですが非常に美味しかったです。

    Wakayama Higashimuro-gun Kushimotocho Kushimoto 1851
    This Japanese confectionery store is located a little to the southwest along National Route 42, after exiting JR Kushimoto Station.

Its main characteristic is the special bean paste which is made from scratch to be delicious while also not being too sweet. In addition to Usukawa Manju, the store also has Imoimo and Hamasodachi, as well as Rosetsu Monaka, which have been recognized by Premier Wakayama.

    国道沿いの本店に寄って、うすかわ饅頭を買いました。店の前の駐車場に2、3台停められます。6個入り。甘くないこし餡で何個でも食べられますが、食べたことがない味ではありません。あっさりしたこし餡です。宿泊した翌日に、朝9時前に店の前を通過した時、開店していたので朝、お土産として買えました。

    This Japanese confectionery store is located down the road from the entrance of Tomyo-ji Temple, in a residential area of Taiji Town. Their specialty is Tetsumen-mochi. About the origin of this famous rice cake, itis said that a monk once visited this place looking for an inn, while on the pilgrimage to Kumano. He could not find the inn, but an old man of the town, called Kamehachi, let the monk stay at his home, and by way of thanks, the monk taught the old man how to make the special mochi (rice cake). The name of the Tetsumen-mochi is derived from the name the monk gave when asked who he was. It is made by wrapping Azuki beans from Tokachi in a layer of rice flour. It is also sold as a set, and is recommended for souvenirs and gifts.
