    Kagawa Pref. Zentsujishi Zentsujichou 3-4-11
    Kumaoka Kashiten is a retro-style traditional Japanese confectionery store. It sells Ishi-pan (“Stone Bread”) biscuits, which are reputed to be the hardest type of traditional confectionery in Japan. Ishi-pan was originally made as emergency rations for soldiers in wartime, as it keeps for a long time. Despite the fact that no drying agents or preservatives are used in the process of making them, they keep for around a month before going off; Ishi-pan became famous throughout Japan for how well it kept. Ishi-pan is much harder than ordinary hardtack biscuits, so much so that young children and senior citizens may find it impossible to chew. Ishi-pan has a slightly sweet flavor, with a hint of ginger.

    小粒の石パンを購入出来ました。ショーケースの中身が少なくなっていたのですが、満杯に追加されホッとしました。 猶、観光客の利用も多いようで近くには駐車場も完備されていました。 因みに店頭販売だけでイートインスペースはありませんでした。

The exterior is adorned merely with a simple, cozy-looking shop curtain, while the interior is rich with the culture and traditions of Sanuki, featuring old-fashioned furnishings and wooden furniture.

The fish flavor with its aroma and crisp texture will remind you of bygone days. Octopus remains the most popular senbei. Chairs and tables available so you can relax and chat.

    Shopping
    Kagawa Ayauta-gun Ayagawacho Hayuka Ka 307-1
    This Japanese-style yakibuta roast pork specialty shop has been featured on television and in magazines. The shop serves superb yakibuta made without any chemical seasonings, colorings, or preservatives whatsoever. The shop makes its yakibuta using rich and flavorful Sanuki Yume pork or other domestic pork varieties. The pure white fat on the shop’s yakibuta has a sweet yet clean flavor which belies its appearance, and you’ll want to take bite after bite. The shop’s yakibuta, made with great care one at a time, is also crafted using the same wasanbon fine-grained sugar used in high class Japanese confections; garlic from Kagawa Prefecture, which boasts the second greatest production of garlic in the country; and mild Shodoshima Island soy sauce. The shop’s yakibuta goes great with ramen, of course, and is also a perfect topping for donburi rice bowls, sandwiches, and bagels.

Kagawa Areas

around-area-map

Japan’s smallest prefecture, Kagawa, may take up just a small corner of Shikoku, but it has grown increasingly popular with the recognition of Naoshima, its "art island" in the Seto Inland Sea between Shikoku and Honshu. Just a stone’s throw from the islands, mainland Kagawa’s prefectural capital, Takamatsu, holds history in its castle ruins and its pride and joy, Ritsurin Garden, is known as one of the country’s best gardens.
