#012 There are about 50 restaurants and confectionery shops in Tonomachi. This is the third installment of the Gourmet series! Introducing a long-established Japanese and Western confectionery shop loved outside In the town! ~Opened in 1950, a taste that reminds me of Tonomachi~ Confectionery shop Kikuya Kikuya, a long-established Japanese and Western confectionery shop that has been run by my childhood friend's family since Showa 25, is a shop that continues to be loved by both Town residents and people from outside the town.

Other, there are many Japanese and Western sweets that remind you of Tonomachi when you get them, such as "Tono Station", "Toyahime", and "Kinfugu Monaka". 　It is said that the reason why the name of the confectionery is derived from such a town is that the person who receives this candy thinks that it is "a town" or "nostalgic". Certainly, I think that people who have moved out of the prefecture will feel nostalgic if they receive this candy in yellowtail few years. There are such sweets in Tono. 　Nowadays, it seems that there are customers from outside the town and prefecture who come to buy this sweet, regardless of whether they are Town residents.

That's one of the reasons why it's loved. 　Such Kikuya's sweets are also sold at the station café in the tourism association office.
