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

Located a 10-minute walk from Izukyu Shimoda Station, "Ryosenji Temple" is indispensable for talking about the history of the opening of Shimoda. On November 8th, "Sushi Shirabo 302" opened in the Car parking lot of Ryosenji Temple. When you want to efficiently tour the compact Shimoda City area, when you want to have a light snap, when you want to enjoy a pleasant conversation with the shopkeepers, when you eat too much breakfast at the inn, but if you come to Shimoda, you want to eat sushi! You can feel free to drop by when you are (^^)/ The nigiri hands are several "sideline sushi chefs". Everyone trained for several months and made their debut ✨ at the same time as the store opened It seems that you usually do a completely different job. There are also people who come from outside the prefecture. In Shimoda, a new type of sushi restaurant "Sushi Shirabo" was planned by the fourth generation of the popular sushi restaurant "Mimatsu Sushi" in the city, trained sushi chefs on the side, and opened it. Please stop by and Please enjoy it when you take a walk around the city! You may also be able to meet a "recommended" side sushi chef (⋈◍>◡<◍). ✧
