Taisha Senmochi Suwa

On this day, the gluttonous Kasai was lured by the sweet Aroma to visit the Taisha Senmochi Suwa store.
Since childhood, he has loved the peanut crackers and castella rice crackers from Taisha Senmochi, and they are one of the favorite foods of the gluttonous Kasai.

It was President Sasaki's wife who spoke to the gluttonous Kasai while he was busy. The history of Taisha Senmochi is that it was founded in Shimosuwa Town at the end of the Taisho era and moved to Suwa City in 1955 (Showa 30). In the list of the Suwa Confectionery Association in H23, it is said that it was founded in 1921 (Taisho 10) (1921), but the source seems to be unknown. However, in the land of Suwa, there is a "Taisha senmochi! It's like, "Oh my God.

Ladies and gentlemen, when you think of Taisha rice crackers, don't you think of peanut crackers??? In fact, the first thing that was served as a Taisha rice cracker seems to be a castella rice cracker! (Unofficial) Peanut crackers are included in sweets called "Taisha", so you can imagine that Taisha senmochi = peanut crackers! That's not what I mean!!! At first, it seems that castella rice crackers existed as Taisha rice crackers!! Both peanut crackers and castella crackers are super popular signature products that have been around since the company's founding. I didn't know about this until I heard the story!

It seems that the first founder of Taisha Senmochi had a very close relationship with Mr. Miyaji of Suwa Grand Shrine Lower Shrine at that time, and Mr. Miyaji asked the first founder to sell distribution items that could be distributed to Ujiko (shrine parishioners) at the time of the Gobashira. At that time, I was able to call the "Asahi Senbei" current castella rice crackers that I was making at the store as "Taisha Senmochi", and it is the secret story of the birth of "Taisha Senmochi"! I was overwhelmed with emotion when I was able to know the beginning of the name that I had been wondering about for a long time ~ since I was a child!!
And the recipe for Taisha senmochi products is fixed in size, but it seems that the craftsman adjusts it from day to day depending on the season, temperature, humidity, etc. Based on this immense trust in the craftsmen, the gluttonous Kawanishi thinks that this is the reason why "Taisha Senmochi" has been loved in the land of Suwa for a long time.

Of course, all of Taisha's recommended products are all products, but the one I was particularly interested in was "salt yokan with walnuts". It contains plenty of large walnuts, and it is so large that you can see the walnuts in it even with the naked eye! It is a must see souvenir for walnut lovers!!

The tourism association also has customers from other prefectures who come to Suwa to buy Taisha senmochi as a Souvenirs, and it is so popular that they are asked, "Can I buy it online or at a department store?" When you come to Suwa, be sure to visit Souvenirs!!

Soft serve ice cream came to Nagawa

Have you eaten yet?

From April 19 this year, a soft serve ice cream server was introduced to [Nagawa Sansaikan] for the first time in Nagawa, and soft serve ice cream is on sale.

When GW was over, I belatedly stopped by Sansaikan to taste soft serve ice cream!

In addition to the banners, there is also a poster at the entrance, and those who pass by the Sansaikan may think "Wow!" and many Squid people may know about it because it was featured in MG Press.

I immediately ordered soft serve ice cream while talking to Mr. Oishi.

It seems that sales are quite good, and not only those who came for sightseeing, but also Local residents and the children of my friends have already eaten it many times.

The regular size is 450 yen and the mini size is 250 yen.

Especially the mini size is just the right size, and it is perfect for when you want to eat soft serve ice cream but can't eat it all, or when you feel like it's okay to eat a little.

Squid may also be good for small children.

In the future, they are thinking about topping [blueberries] harvested at Sansaikan Farm for a limited time, so I am looking forward to it.

Wouldn't it be nice for my husband and I to have [Soba fruit] and [Sesame] and Nagawa-like toppings? While talking, I tasted soft serve ice cream.

Extra edition Agematsu town, Kiso District, Nagano Prefecture, Kiso County "Nezame-no-Toko"

On this day, the gluttonous Kasai is an extra edition! !️ I visited the "Nezame-no-Toko" in Agematsu town, Kiso District, which I had wanted to go to for a long time! Nezame-no-Toko is counted as one of the five most famous gorges in Japan and is also designated as a national scenic spot!! Before the Meiji era, there was no Dam and granite was carved by the rapids of the Kiso River. After the construction of the Dam, the Water surface of the Kiso River is lowered by the Water, and the enormity of the rocks is more pronounced. It was designated as a national scenic spot in 1923 and managed as a prefectural park, but it seems to have been promoted to Central Alps National Park in 2020!!

You can also look forward to the cherry blossoms in Spring and the Autumn leaves in autumn, and the scenery of the Four Seasons. The water of the river is also blue, so you can see the beauty of the Kiso River.
Also, in Nagano, a prefecture far from the sea, there is a "legend of Urashima Taro"! I've been curious about it for a long time~.

It was a very nice scenic spot and a good exercise! I think it's best to avoid wearing clothes that make it difficult to move after it rains. We recommend that you wear athletic shoes and clothes that are easy to move around!! Swimming is prohibited, so please be careful. If you are in the second grade of elementary school, you can go to Urashimado! How about a Nezame-no-Toko floor with your child to see a wonderful view!?

On the way back, I bought a limited edition "Morokoshi soft serve ice cream" from this Roadside Station using milk from Kaida Highlands by Roadside Station Hiyoshi Kiso Koma Kogen! The aroma of corn Aroma faintly Unfolds, and it was a very delicious soft serve ice cream that I had never eaten before!! Please enjoy it!

From time to time, I'm thinking about sending the gluttonous Kasai as an "extra edition".

【Yatsugatake Mountain Trail Maintenance and Tsukumogusa Survey】

Suzoe Ridge has snow ands from 2,400m above elevation to the top of the Observation decks, and in some places it is more than 50 cm. Fallen trees were large and small, and I climbed them while doing my best to remove them with a saw in one hand.
On the ridgeline beyond the steep climb, there were a lot of blackbirds blooming again this year.

At Hakuba Village in Nagano Prefecture, which I visited on a trip, I was able to see a water mirror of Tambo reflecting the mountains with a superb view.
