Walking around the town and encountering Edo Japanese sweets (Karagara-cho, Koamicho, Ningyocho 1-chome edition)

[Dharma] July 8, 2016 12:00

Encounter with a Japanese confectionery shop is a store association where the old days remain, a temple / shrine, and a festival....Is the keyword. Japanese sweets appear in celebrations, Buddhist rituals, seasonal gifts, and various dinners/meetings. Look for this "creating the sum of people" Edo Japanese sweets and walk around the town.

 

"Koamicho and Kakigaracho" have changed the shape of the town in each era of Edo, Meiji Taisho era, and Showa eras, and have carved history, but I do not meet a Japanese confectionery shop. (?_?).

 

It is said that it has been supporting the current people around Koamicho and Ningyocho 1-chome, and this year we have been doing "Chinowa Kuguri" at Koami Shrine in 550. (Natsukoshi exorcism June 20) I received a miniature version of Chinowa. In Kyoto, which is extremely hot this year, it seems that there is a custom to eat Japanese sweets "Mizunazuki" at Natsukoshi Exorcism.

Ningyocho 1-chome (former Yoshicho) once prospered in Hanayanagi Street. On Ningyocho-dori, there is "Okanonji", which was founded in 1880, and if you put it in the long-established and side streets of the sweet "Hatsune", Oyakodon "Tamahide", Fugu "Kaneman", egg ware "Torichu" ... There are many popular Kappo cuisine and famous shops, and Japanese sweets shops are "Tokai" and "Mihara Domoto". I also stopped by Tsukushi and Judo at 2-chome on Ningyocho Street.

 

Tokai, a Japanese confectionery located on the back street near Nihonbashi 7 Fukujin Chanogi Shrine, was founded in 1912 and moved to Ningyocho in the Showa era. The popular "Chadori" feels the technique of baking the skin and the sweetness of the bean paste. I'm looking forward to "Ohagi" at the time of the equinoctial week!

"Mihara Domoto Store" at the Suitengu Intersection is a long-established Japanese confectionery founded in 1877. Demonstration sales of dorayaki were being held in the store.

Tsukushi, a Japanese confectionery where you can see Suiten Miyashin shrine hall through the door, is said to have been a teahouse in Suitengu, and is a long-established store with craftsmanship founded in 1877. "Dorayaki" has a moist skin and an elegant sweetness that will not remain behind. The classic "Inari-san" of a long-established Japanese confectionery shop is a nostalgic taste of Edokko Grandma. Next is red rice.

Founded in Kakigara-cho in the early Meiji era, Judo is a long-established store that has moved near the current Suitengu-mae intersection for more than 100 years. The popular signboard product "Golden Potato" is a Japanese confectionery made of yolk mochi, with a moderate scent of nikki and a sense of nostalgicness. From August 1st to 3rd, Ningyocho Setonoichi ... I want to get the summer product "Hiyoyokan"! !
