Goshikinuma ponds, often dubbed the “mysterious lake,” promise to be an great experience with their captivating colors—emerald green, cobalt blue, turquoise blue, emerald blue, and pastel blue. Goshikinuma meaning "five color ponds," is somewhat misleading. The area features far more than five ponds, each likely to reveal an even broader array of spectacular colors. During fall time the ponds look more heavenly and peaceful.

2024.10.05 Kamisuwa Highway Machiariki Drinking On this day, there was 🍶 a big Events in the city of Suwa, "Kamisuwa Highway Town Aruki Swallowing Aruki". From Kamisuwa Station, within a 1km walk along National Route 20, Suwa's Famous Sake Brewery Gozo is lined up, and for this Events, we made it a pedestrian paradise to the traffic light in Suwa 2-chome ~ Motomachi. The members of Suwa's Gozo served the famous sake 🍶 that they served with confidence. This year, Japanese cypress became an Events where you can enjoy famous sake with the Aroma of Japanese cypress. The tickets were limited to 3,000 and were so popular that they were sold out on 9/30!! Since last year, the number of Snacks stalls restaurants in the Local has increased, and there have been stalls by people in the neighboring area!! On the day of the event, I was a little worried about the weather, but at 11:00 a.m., when the ticket was exchanged, the exchange place was crowded, and the city began to be crowded toward the start of the pedestrian paradise at 12:00, and at 13:00, the start time, there was a line in front of Gozo for the brand I was looking for!! At the opening, after greetings from the mayor of Suwa City City and the president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Standard "Wood Usage" in Suwa was cut into the mouth. After that, the woodcutters walked along the Along the road and responded to requests until 🎶 around 17:00 at the end. From 14:00, Local dancers enlivened the venue. It was impressive that the audience was dancing with them and seemed to be having a lot of fun. There was also a large line of stalls, yakitori, eel, karaage, bandit grilling, chicken wings, Ghibier dishes, skewers, apple candy, bento shops, french fries, grilled Soba noodles, etc. Not only Sake, but also the Snacks stalls here were also very successful! Drinking delicious Sake and touching delicious Local dishes and Snacks will naturally make you 🎶 smile. I was able to meet the smiles of many people! Thank you very much. And what surprised me was the small number of Traditional Japanese straw raincoat. Held in, I picked up trash at Kamisuwa Station ~ the back of the venue just before the end, but it seems that there was not much trash on the street. I think it was the result of everyone who participated sorting and throwing it away. As I walked around with the bag, I said, "If you have trash, please put it in this bag!" and several people who came to the venue said, "Wow, that's amazing! Do you even collect trash? Thank you very much." I was so tired that I was called out! I was 😢 very happy Next time, all the staff will continue to devote themselves to ensuring that the customers who come to the event are satisfied and fun, that the local people can understand and cooperate, and that the city of Suwa can be revitalized.

Shanofu Shinshu Hand-Baked Rice Crackers Honpo On this day, Shokushinbo Kasai visited Shinshu Hand-Baked Senbei Honpo. It is a hand-baked rice cracker shop that has been open here for about 35 years. On the day of the event, we were guided by President Hiroko Kitahara, who also bakes rice crackers. When I entered the store, the first thing I thought of was the variety of products. Really, there were 🍘 so many types that Kawanishi, who likes rice crackers, could get lost Among them, there were really Many types and, including stained rice crackers and rakkasen. Popularity No,1 is glue No. 2 is doubled No. 3 is apple crackers Next, Nozawana wasabi Nozawana wasabi is rare, isn't it? Nozawana is often seen in Souvenirs shops in the prefecture, but "Nozawana wasabi" is hard to find! Apples, Nozawana, and wasabi are all Nagano specialties. Karin is a specialty of Suwa. Apricots, matcha, white sugar, brown sugar, shichimi, ichimi, miso, green onion miso, walnut miso, garlic, etc. Even in Nagano Prefecture, there is the largest type of rice cracker. I think so. Kasai's recommendations are "garlic" and "twice". Garlic is a gastronomical delicacies with a slight garlic flavor. The second rice cracker has a strong flavor, so you can enjoy the mellow taste of soy sauce. After all, it is hand-baked, so the crunch is the best, and if you like hard rice crackers, this is a recommended store. Among them, the most noteworthy product is "Fukutoku!! Some of you may understand it when you hear "Fukutoku". President Kitahara's grandfather made "Fukutoku". Unlike fortune cookies, fortune cookies have good luck charms inside!! Somehow, I wanted to revive it, and it seems that I was able to reprint it in the generation of President Kitahara. And after all, Shinshu hand-baked rice crackers are hand-baked & Taisha-mae!! It may be sold by hand, but when you visit Suwa Grand Shrine Main Shrine, the Soba (buckwheat noodles) ⛩ of Taisha Main Shrine's Torii (shrine gate), why don't you take a walk around the northern approach to the temple by all means, looking for your favorite flavor 🍘 and Souvenirs at the Shinshu hand-baked rice cracker honpo? ◎ Shinshu hand-baked rice crackers honpo 📍 〒392-0015 201 Nakasu, Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture (Suwa Grand Shrine Kita approach to the temple) ☎0266-58-1235 Business hours : Weekdays 9:30~16:30 (subject to change) : Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays 9:00~17:00 ◎Regular holiday : Open open all year

Nouvelle Plum Grove Suwa (Sweets House Nouvel) 　 On this day, Shokushinbo Kasai visited the Nouvelle Plum Grove Suwa store (Sweets House Nouvel). It's such a famous store that "there is no one who doesn't know it in the Suwa City area"! The exterior is stylish and reminiscent of a candy house as the name suggests. Among the Nouvelles, the mainstay "Kurumi Yamabiko" is a Gastronomical delicacies that Kasai also loves. A special walnut caramel that is slowly simmered using Fresh milk from Shinshu Yatsugatake mountain foothills is wrapped in a crispy cookie. The cookies around it are not sweet, and the walnut caramel inside is moderately sweet, and the balance with the wrapped cookies is excellent!!　This is really unstoppable deliciousness. Except for my eldest son and second daughter, who are allergic to nuts, the entire family, including my parents, is a big fan www This hit product of Plum Grove is said to be a Traditional Japanese straw raincoat parent by the current president!　Available for the most delicious walnuts and mabiko!　It was released in 1985 and is now in its 39th year!! The person who responded on this day was Mr. Yudazaka, the chief of the Administration Department. According to the story, Plum Grove seems to have a strong desire to "use Local ingredients and materials". And did you know that there are store-only sweets that can only be found in each store? That's it here ↓ ・ Suwa store → cream puff ・Okaya Main Store → Waffles ・ Shimo Suwa store → Oyster ice / pie (common to all stores custard pie + lower Suwa limited original flavor) ・ Chino store → soft serve ice cream Also available at the Okaya store (Yamabiko Soft is limited to Chino) ・ Cheesecake seems to be a store-only sweet that can only be found in each store, so please come and visit us! Following in the footsteps of "Kurumi Yamabiko" is "Suwa no Tsuki". Here, the walnut caramel inside is the same as walnuts and mabiko, but even if you mix white bean paste here and eat walnuts and mabiko, it is Popular with elderly people who have difficulty swallowing! It seems that the fact that by mixing white bean paste, it is easier to cut and clear the throat than walnuts and mabiko, which is a proof of its popularity!　It's a great ingenuity, isn't it? It was a story that showed a glimpse of evidence of its popularity among all. In the top three is Suwakurumi Caramel!! Suwa→Karin, Shimo Suwa→Manji Stone Buddha, Okaya → Silkworm, Chino → Jomon Venus, started with four, but Haramura, Fujimi was eager to manufacture them, and Haramura→ celery and Fujimi →Tomatoes were born, and the characters of Town/Village six neighboring cities were all available. The red ruby of the Fujimi Highlands actually has a secret story of its birth. In fact, at the Tokyo Olympics, a Tomatoes made by students of the horticulture department of Fuji Midaka School was decided to pass the judging, but as you know, the Held in was delayed by one year, right?! Then, when the president learned of the Tomatoes of a student who had nowhere to go, he said, "Let's use it as a material for Highlands rubies!! One word. It's numbing, isn't it? It is still being traded today. This kind of thinking about the president's "things of the earth" has created a blockbuster product!! That's what I think. 　Lastly, Mr. Yudazaka's recommendation, which we talked to on this day, is "Kokko Sable First Thing in the Morning"!　The egg is a simple sable using fresh eggs raised by the people of Yatsugatake Central Agricultural Practical College in Haramura, and although it is soft, it is a sable that retains the firm Butter feeling of the sable. For the gluttonous Kasai, the best walnuts and mabiko are recommended!!　I learned about it for the first time, but it sells the original form after manufacturing and before cutting. It comes in a wooden box, comes with a special knife, etc. A dream-like product 🌟 I think that if no one saw it, it would be stuck as it is www Here, it seems that several films come out a year!! I wonder if I'll buy it as a birthday present ~ 🎶 It's an unbearable Gastronomical delicacies for walnuts and mabiko lovers! 　 Nouvelle Plum Grove's products are very appreciated as "Souvenirs". Some sweets are made with motifs from the Suwa region and some use things from the Suwa region. If my family were to take Souvenirs, Nouvelle Plum Grove Hall would be the only choice w Speaking of Souvenirs of sweets that are appreciated in the Suwa region, it is "Nouvelle Plum Grove Hall".　If you come to the Suwa area or find it at a dealership, please purchase it and Gari it!! ◎ Nouvel Plum Grove Suwa store (Sweets House Nouvel) 📍 1-2556-7 Jominami, Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture ☎0266-54-7971 Business hours & Regular holiday : 10:00~19:00 Closed only on New Year's Day
