After Prayer to Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, we visited LEC COFFEE.
It's a quiche plate. Sweet potato and bacon quiche, salad with homemade ham and cold Butter nut pumpkin soup.

Before Prayer to Kawagoe Hikawa Shrine, I went to see the Squid Wamogumogu Honpo Kawagoe store in the confectionery shop Yokocho. 🍠 However, it seems to be Kawagoe.
The numbered admission ticket was rejected ...

Yesterday, I went to the 3rd Coedo Imo Park, which was Held in at Renjoji Temple.
It is a stone-baked sweet potato specialty store Imoyoshi Shoten's Sanfuku sweet potato dumplings.
I received three blessings: great fortune, happiness, and wealth. 😊🍡🍠
