Hello, this is Soleyo Tourism and Products Association, Ehime Prefecture!
Now, following on from Yamabuki Shrine and the legend of Goshikihime, this time let's talk about "Kamakura Shrine".

When you think of "Minamoto Heigosen", names such as Minamoto no Yoritomo and Taira Kiyomori immediately come to mind, but do you know who "Minamoto Noriyori" is?
One of Minamoto no Yoritomo's younger brothers, who also appeared in the NHK taiga drama "13 people of Kamakura-den" broadcast in 2022 (Reiwa 4), is "Minamoto no Yoriyori". Since he was born and raised in Kama Mikuriya in Toei Province (present-day Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture), he was also called Kabakaja and Kabado.

Tucked away at the foot of Mt. Gyodo in Iyo City, Ehime Prefecture, the tomb of Minamoto Noriyori is built at Kamakura Shrine.

Noriyori played a great role for the Minamoto clan, such as defeating Kiso Yoshinaka with Minamoto Yoshitsune and leaving achievements in the pursuit of the Heike at the Battle of Dannoura, but he was suspected of rebellion due to a single careless remark and was imprisoned in the ShuZen Temple in Izu.
There are various theories about his whereabouts after that, but one of them is that he fled to Iyo City, Ehime Prefecture, relying on the Kono clan of Iyo.

The five-ring pagoda at the foothills of the pond beside the shrine was mourned as the tomb of Noriyori, and it is the Shomyoji Temple that stands right next to it. It is written in the ancient journal that the golden Bishamon statue of Bishamon, which is said to have been carried by Noriyori, came out when the enoki tree in the Shomyoji Temple was cut down.
In the Edo period, the Lords of Ozu erected a tombstone and began to enshrine Minamoto Noriyori as Kamakura Shrine. It is said that since ancient times, as a god of war, many people from distant other prefectures have visited to pray for victory.

Before Shrine, I There are Natsume Soseki's phrase monument. It is the oldest Soseki phrase monument in Japan, and it is a rare phrase monument with two phrases and one stele.

Today (7/10), I had the opportunity 😆 to cover the hop harvest

It was my first time to see a hop field this year, but... It was ✨✨ spectacular

Healthy dark green leaves on straight stems, hop berries that are bell-shaped...!

"It's a shame to see this scene today!" I looked at 👀 it with the Production

Preparations are ready, and it's time to 💪 harvest
It is difficult 💦 to remove the wires that support it because there are so many fruits

I'm going to put the harvested hops in a bag, but I don't think they'll fit in the truck I'm going to put on today Squid ... It was an amount that made 😂 me worry

Processing these hops into a beer 🍺 with a fresh aroma

I drank it last year, and it was a beer that I 😆👍 could drink with a refreshing aroma

I'm 😍 looking forward to this year's beer.

Confectionery Judo
On this day, the gluttonous Kasai was lured by the sweet Aroma as usual and visited Judo-san!
On the day of the event, the person who dealt with the gluttonous Kasai was Mr. TakeVillage. The company was founded about 64 years ago. Judo is Famous in the Locals for its ankoro mochi, dango, and shionaka. This "ankoro mochi" is often served at funerals in the Suwa region. I was born and raised in Suwa, but in the Suwa region, I have never heard of and custom of "moon viewing". There are and Botamochi have often heard.
Gluttonous Kasai bought Swiss rolls, daifuku, and Dango. The cut roll was gentle and high-quality fresh cream, and on this day, chestnuts were included, and it was so delicious that it became addictive. Daifuku is also recommended for women because the bean paste is not sweet and the mochi is soft, and it is a size that can be eaten Anytime! The Dango is exquisite, the sauce wraps the Dango tightly, and it is easy to purchase because it is a full-scale meal! As a glutton, I 🎶 was also curious about the "appuru cake" in the showcase
On this day, it was not in the showcase, but my Gourmet master's "Sacchan Master" in the Information Center in front of the station is Exquisite cream puffs and seems to be recommended to everyone!! If you have the opportunity, please buy it!! Mr. TakeVillage's best was ankoro mochi, dango, and salt!

Today, Gluttony Kasai went to Kotobuki-dou. Mr.Takemura introduce me about Kotobuki-dou. The Kotobuki-dou is famous for Ankoro mochi, Dango and salty Monaka.
I saw Ankoro mochi in funeral. This is regional persists habit around suwa area.
Also, this area, I don’t listen so much about Otsukimi (Moon viewing).
The day I bought Daifuku, roll cake and Dango. Rolled cake was not too sweet, the cream was so smooth and soft. The Daifuku also not too sweet, the size is bite sized. So, it is easy to eat even kids and women. Dango is also bite sized. Mitarashi sauce is so fit together well. Hmmm… So nice! I was curious about apple cake too.
My gourmet master “Satchan” taught me, her recommendation is “Cream Puff”. But that day wasn’t there. I’ll try again other day! Mr.Takemura’s recommendation is Daifuku, Dango and salty Monaka.
