    Kumamoto Amakusa-gun Reihokumachi Tomioka 3243
    A long-established confectionery store founded in the early Meiji period. It's located in a residential area and sells both traditional Japanese and Western sweets. Their popular Gakidaisho-dried persimmons stuffed with bean paste with egg yolk-won a gold medal at the National Confectionery Exposition. The lightly sweet bean paste enhances the persimmons' flavor. Located to the northwest of Amakusa, Reihoku Town is a region that strongly reflects the influence of Spain and Portugal brought by missionaries hundreds of years ago. With carefully selected eggs that are separated into whites and yolks by hand and then whisked, their superb sponge cake maintains the same traditional flavor it's had since their founding.

    "A candy store in front of the Sakitsu Church, also known as the ""Church of the Sea."" They manufacture and sell Sakitsu local favorites like Sugi yokan sweet bean jelly and fig jam. Sugi yokan is a traditional confection made of steamed non-glutinous rice colored red by the juice of dragon fruit. It's said that a delegation from the Ryukyu king taught the locals how to make it in gratitude for rescuing them when they were shipwrecked nearby. Made without chemical additives or flavoring, the moist and soft texture comes from placing Japanese cedar leaves on top. The specialty has been certified Amakusa Kinsei, a top-class product that has passed a stringent review process."

    崎津教会のある、世界遺産の崎津集落。集落内を散策していると、こちらのお店があります。このあたりの名物である杉ようかんが売られています。すぐに売り切れていまうので、販売されていればすぐに購入されることをおすすめします。

    "A sweet shop with a green awning located right near Sakitsu Church, also known as the ""Church of the Sea."" They sell sugi yokan sweet bean jelly, a Sakitsu local favorite. The traditional sweet with its bright red coloring is made by filling non-glutinous mochi rice cakes with homemade sweet bean paste. It is said that more than 200 years ago a delegation from the Ryukyu king taught the locals how to make it in gratitude for rescuing them when they were shipwrecked nearby. The unique texture only lasts one day because no additives are used. It's a traditional flavor you won't be able to try unless you visit Sakitsu."

Kumamoto Areas

Kumamoto lies in the center of Kyushu, a calm prefecture perfect for easy strolls around the historic center and lazy evenings in the natural hot springs at Kurokawa Onsen. For a slightly more strenuous activity, head to Mount Aso, whose surrounding hills offer hiking opportunities aplenty with views over the active volcano.
