Miyama Karabuki no Sato Snow Festival It was a pity that there was no snow, but I wanted to take a picture of the whole view of the village of Miyama, so I managed to climb the snowy mountain alone and took a hard picture. Of course, since it was a snowy mountain, there was no road, and it was almost a cliff climb, but 😅 on the way back, it was pitch dark and I managed to descend the mountain while getting lost on the way. 😌

2024.11.27 この日、食いしん坊 河西は、またまた和菓子屋さんへリサーチに行きました!!! それは、園月堂本舗 福島店です! でも、皆さん、何か写真で気付きませんか? ほら!ほら!!! 園月堂さんに行くので浮かれて、お店の外観撮るの忘れてるんですよ。。。 本当に、食い意地が勝ってますよね。。。 お恥ずかしいです。。。 次回は、確り致します! 園月堂本舗さんの、女将さんの片桐さんにお話を聞きました! 創業78年(昭和21年)から、園月堂になる前の屋号で始められたようです。 最初は、上諏訪駅前にあったそうですよ! 4年後に小和田、その8年後に清水の方へ店舗を拡大して行きました。 今は、清水店と平成4年に、この福島店をオープンされ市内2店舗で和菓子をご提供頂いています!!! 女将さんのオススメは、復刻した“湖城もなか”と“兜最中”です!!! 最中も4種類程あり、とても沢山の種類がありました。 女将さん曰く、「餡子も各和菓子屋さんで、それぞれ違うので自分が好きな餡子を探してみるのも面白いですよ!」と、お教え下さいました!!! 「最近は、外国のお客様が少しずつ増え、洋菓子のクリームより、餡子はカロリーが低いので注目されてきているのかも知れません。 」と、仰っておりました! ◎ 園月堂本舗 福島店 📍長野県諏訪市中洲福島5398-1 ☎ 0266-58-1547 ◎ 営業時間:9:00 ~ 19:00 ◎ 定休日 : 清水店・福島店共、毎週火曜日 ◎ 園月堂本舗 清水店 📍長野県諏訪市清水1-2-12 ☎ 0266-52-1543 ◎ 営業時間:9:00 ~ 19:00 Nov. 27th in 2024 Today I went to Engetsu-dou Hompo which is Japanese traditional sweets (Wagashi) shop in Suwa city! “Wa” means Japan. “Gashi” means sweets. So, Japanese traditional sweets call Wagashi? They have two shops in Suwa, Shimizu-machi area and Fukujima area. I went to Fukujima location. Don’t you notice about pictures??? Did you? I was focus for Wagashi… That’s why I forgot to take a picture about Engetsu-dou’s exterior… That’s big mistake! Horrible!!! I’m so sorry about that. I’m gluttony. Wagashi was right front of me, I lost from Wagashi’s temptation. So, I forgot took the shop’s exterior photo… Ms. Katagiri (landlady) introduce her shop and Wagashi. They founded in 1946. About 78 years. The shop was front of Kamisuwa station. They started with the different name of the shop. It became Engetsu-dou in 1950. Shimizu-machi branch opened in 1958. Fukujima branch opened in 1992. I asked her, “what is your recommendation Wagashi?” She told me Kojou Monaka and Kabuto Monaka. Monaka is a Japanese sweet that is bean‐jam‐filled wafers. Also, she said “You can enjoy Wagashi every season, and each shop has original sweetened red bean paste. So, you can enjoy to find your favorite shop. Now, gradually increasing foreign customers. I think they realized Wagashi is less than calories compare to cake.” ★ Engetsu-dou Hompo Fukushima branch 📍Nakasu-Fukushima, 5398-1 Suwa city, Nagano Pref. ☎ 0266-58-1547 ◎ Business hours: 9:00 ~ 19:00 ◎ Regular holiday: Shimizu and Fukushima stores, every Tuesday ★ Engetsu-dou Hompo Shimizu branch 📍Shimizu 1-2-12 Suwa city, Nagano Pref. ☎ 0266-52-1543 ◎ Business hours: 9:00 ~ 19:00

The opening of the mirror was 🍶🔨 carried out by the sound of Drums and bells of the Arashi dance, and the very impressive gunfire of the arquebus After that, a toast was made with a toast by Mr. Fujimoto, the dancer, and the feast began 👏 Not only the members of the Araodori Preservation Society, but also the dancers and their families... I think 😌 it was a wonderful meeting where everyone talked about their various thoughts on Araodori In the middle of the banquet, an interview was conducted by the emcee, and everyone was ashamed to talk 🤭✨ about their passion for Araodori Sake and conversation were satisfied, and at the end, the three chants were 🙌🙌🙌 sung In Miyazaki, where many traditional performing arts such as Kagura remain, I feel 😳 that it was truly a great thing that Gokase no Araodori was registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage In the future, I would like to ✨ continue to cherish the traditional performing arts that are protected and connected in each district

In addition to scenery and food that can only be seen and eaten in Japan, calligraphy, a traditional culture that can only be experienced in Japan, is one such example. When providing services to foreigners visiting Japan in the form of experience tourism, we are conscious of "learning" that leads to cultural understanding, such as deepening understanding of the history of calligraphy in Japan and conveying the meaning behind each kanji character.
