Sakai Tourism Concierge recommendation ✨
“📍A special moment to soak in history and beauty at Sakai’s tea room Shin-an 🍵”

I’m Azusa Nakase from the Sakai Tourism Concierge.
I visited Shin-an, Sakai City’s tea room, to experience a Japanese space that stands quietly in stillness 😆

Built by Kodō Ōgi, renowned as a master of sukiya-style construction, the tea room presents a beautiful blend of modernity and tradition.
The moment I stepped inside, I felt time slow down 😌✨

You can also join a tea-serving experience 🍵 and taste matcha with seasonal sweets while touching the culture of chanoyu ☺️
One bowl of tea can enrich the heart so much…🍃

Please stop by during your Sakai sightseeing 🙌🏻

Kotobuki-dou Confectionery
On this day, foodie Kasai followed the usual sweet aroma and dropped into Kotobuki-dou!
My host that day was Mr. Takemura. The shop has been in business for about 64 years. Kotobuki-dou is locally famous for ankoro mochi, dango, and salted monaka. This ankoro mochi often appears at funerals around the Suwa area. Although I was born and raised in Suwa, I’ve rarely heard of an Otsukimi (moon-viewing) tradition here. I have heard of ohagi and botamochi, though.
Foodie Kasai bought a roll cake, daifuku, and dango. The sliced roll had a gentle, high-quality fresh cream and that day it included chestnut, which made it irresistibly delicious. The daifuku had mildly sweet anko and soft mochi; each piece was bite-sized, so it’s recommended for women as well. The dango’s mitarashi glaze was perfect, coating each dumpling nicely; they’re bite-sized and easy to grab. The foodie was also tempted by the apple cake in the showcase.
It wasn’t in the showcase that day, but my gourmet mentor “Satchan” at the station information desk highly recommends the cream puffs as exceptional, so everyone should try them if they get the chance! Mr. Takemura’s top picks were ankoro mochi, dango, and salted monaka.

Today, Gluttony Kasai went to Kotobuki-dou. Mr. Takemura introduced me to Kotobuki-dou. Kotobuki-dou is famous for ankoro mochi, dango, and salted monaka.
I saw ankoro mochi at a funeral. This regional custom persists around the Suwa area.
Also, in this area I don’t hear much about Otsukimi (moon viewing).
That day I bought daifuku, a roll cake, and dango. The roll cake wasn’t too sweet; the cream was smooth and soft. The daifuku wasn’t too sweet either and came in bite-sized portions, so it’s easy for children and women to eat. The dango were also bite-sized; the mitarashi sauce matched them perfectly. Hmmm… so good! I was curious about the apple cake too.
My gourmet mentor “Satchan” recommended the cream puffs, but they weren’t available that day. I’ll try them another day! Mr. Takemura’s recommendations are daifuku, dango, and salted monaka.

It's like an Okinawa resort! Pool diving experience 🌴 in Kanagawa

Hello! This is ⛱️ Hokule'a Shonan
The other day, we held in a divemaster training at a resort-like pool in Miura City, Kanagawa Prefecture!
The clear blue sky and the sparkling water surface of the pool will keep you 🤿🌞 excited from the morning

The biggest attraction of this pool is the bright and open atmosphere like the white sand of Okinawa.
Sunlight shines into the water, Unfolding a curtain of shimmering light.
It's like a vacation even before diving! It is the best environment where you can enjoy the "extraordinary".

In the course, participants aiming to become divemasters confirmed their basic skills and practiced how to respond to emergencies.
A pool with no waves or streams is an environment where you can calm down and concentrate, so it is perfect for establishing skills.

This resort pool is also a great place to practice skin diving.
Ideal for preparing before going to the sea, such as finwork, ear removal, and checking your posture in water.
The transparency is also high, making it perfect for taking photos in the water or practicing semi-water shots 📸

"I don't want to go to the sea today, but I want to dive in the pool."
Please feel free to contact us.
With the comfort and security unique to the pool, even beginners can easily enjoy it.

Those who want to start diving and skin diving in Kanagawa,
Those who want to improve their skills in a resort feeling,
This summer, go to pool training where both "healing and learning" come true!

🌺 Make your diving life freer and more enjoyable.
We look forward to your participation!

Today, June 16th, is "Japanese Sweets Day"! Introducing Japanese sweets and famous confectionery originating in Shobara City, Hiroshima Prefecture.

(1) Milk Dango
・ Nostalgic taste that has not changed since the old days
A Commitment Gastronomical delicacies made by mixing mochi powder, sugar, Water candy, honey, etc. on a milk base without using a single drop of Water. The nostalgic taste that has not changed since ancient times is popular.
Milk Dango is manufactured and sold by Izumi Kowado, a long-established Japanese confectionery store located in Shobara City in northeastern Hiroshima Prefecture. It was released in Showa 9, and since winning a prize at the National Confectionery Grand Competition, it has won numerous honors in various places.
It is no exaggeration to say that Shobara's Souvenirs are milk dango, and they have been loved for a long time as a front line. Please enjoy such milk dango as an accompaniment to Tea and danran.

(2) Onbashi
・ Famous confectionery raised in Tojo Town that reminds me of Teishaku Gorge
Enjodo's "Male Bridge" is derived from the natural bridge "Male Bridge of Teishaku Gorge" in Tojo Town, Shobara City. It is a two-layered confectionery reminiscent of a stone bridge. Underneath, moist cookie dough. On top is a sweet Famous Confectionery raised in Tojo Town with caramel and almond slices on top.
At Enjodo, the best Ingredients are carefully selected and examined, and we try to bring out the original taste of confectionery by kneading techniques without using any [artificial synthetic coloring], [chemical synthetic preservatives], [additives such as bleach], etc.

(3) Takeya Manju
・ Gentle taste that has continued since the Edo period
Shobara City Tojo is proud of its Famous Confectionery of Takeya Manju. Takeya Manju Honpo started making buns in the Edo period. Since its founding, its signature products have been Sake Manju and Takeya Manju made with koji. Sake Manju is made from sake with clean water, and even if you take a bite, it has a gentle taste that you can't think of as a Sake Manju. Since it does not use additives, it can be safely eaten by children and the elderly.

(4) Hibagon egg
・ A unique famous confectionery bearing the name "Hibagon"
Famous confectionery "Hibagon no Tamago" created by love for the Township. In 1970, when Hibagon was spotted, the confectionery shop "Daikokudo" released "Hibagon Manju". Then, in 2003, I heard rumors of a merger Town/Village city due to the influence of the great merger of the Heisei era, and Squid I thought that "Hibagun" might disappear, so I developed and released "Hibagon no Tamago".

It is a three-layered confectionery that imitates an egg consisting of "shell", "white meat", and "yolk". The "shell" consists of cocoa flavor, the "white meat" consists of white bean paste with condensed milk, and the "yolk" consists of yellow bean paste with sweet potato. Along with the appearance, the taste is also very popular.

(5) Tabusa Yokan
・Yokan made in the town of Soryo with an elegant taste
Carefully selected Hokkaido azuki beans are luxuriously used and carefully made over two days, and the original taste and aroma of azuki beans are brought out with delicious water unique to the countryside.
"Taso" is the old place name of the current Soryo Town, and in the Showa era, it was merged with the neighboring Ryōkeson Village to become the Soryo Town, and the place name of Taso disappeared. Tagan Yokan is a confectionery that retains its ancient place name, and is a signature product with a history of more than 130 years, and is a traditional Famous Confectionery.
