Sajo Towson

4.5

A five-minute drive from the Seta-nishi Interchange, Seta-higashi Interchange, and Keiji Bypass; and a six-minute walk from Ishiyamadera Station on the Keihan Electric Railway. This Japanese-style sweets cafe is located next to the Ishiyamadera Post Office and can be reached by head north on the road from the Ishiyamadera Tourist Information Center. The establishment's name is derived from the name of author Toson Shimazaki, who once stayed in Ishiyamadera. Operating out of an elegant and old-fashioned Japanese-style building, the cafe has a space where customers can enjoy original Japanese-style confections like Matcha Kuzu Nagashi (kudzu starch cakes floating in a tea-based sauce), and Fujino (starch dumplings covered with toasted soybean flour).

本格的な和菓子

石山寺のそばにあるお茶処です。作りたての葛餅、濃密な黒蜜が絡み合うわらび餅、ちょうど良い甘さのぜんざいなど、どれも美味しいです。ほとんどの和菓子と一緒に近江の番茶がついてきます。こちらも和菓子との相性が良いです。

石山寺に行った帰りに寄りました。近くにはお茶できるような場所があまりなく、桜の時期でお店はかなり混んでいましたが、歩き疲れた体に温かいお茶が本当に美味しかった。このようなお店があるとホッとします。
