【Bran Pickling Workshop 🥕】

Taking advantage of the goodness of Local ingredients, the "Bran Pickling Workshop" was 💡 held in in the hope that it would lead to new ideas for processing

Under the guidance of Rieko Temple from Gokase Town, we first tasted 🥢 the bran pickle prepared yesterday
There are 18 types in total!

Traditional Japanese straw raincoat such as cucumbers, carrots, and radishes were also discovered, as well as new flavors 👀✨ such as dried shiitake mushrooms, konjac, and Japanese ginger
After that Temple you will actually watch the Scene of the bran floor prepared in front of you, and learn 📝 the amount of Water

Then, we asked them to share the bran bed that could already be pickled, and we immediately pickled 😊 the vegetables that we had brought

It seems that it is ready to eat in about 12 hours, and everyone was looking forward to eating and took home the bran bed 🥰

Next time, I would like to try the bran pickles that the participants have 😍 pickled

There are about 50 restaurants and confectionery shops in Tonomachi.
This is the third installment of the Gourmet series! Introducing a long-established Japanese and Western confectionery shop loved outside In the town!

~Opened in 1950, a taste that reminds me of Tonomachi~
Confectionery shop Kikuya

Kikuya, a long-established Japanese and Western confectionery shop that has been run by my childhood friend's family since Showa 25, is a shop that continues to be loved by both Town residents and people from outside the town. Many Famous sweets are made in this kikuya.

First of all, Kikuya's Japanese sweets "Ichinomiya", the origin of the name is the name given to Ichinomiya in Hyuga Province, a sightseeing spot that represents Tonomachi, as the name suggests. The moist dough contains white bean paste and cream, making it a sweet that combines the best of Japanese and Western flavors. Other, there are many Japanese and Western sweets that remind you of Tonomachi when you get them, such as "Tono Station", "Toyahime", and "Kinfugu Monaka".
　It is said that the reason why the name of the confectionery is derived from such a town is that the person who receives this candy thinks that it is "a town" or "nostalgic". Certainly, I think that people who have moved out of the prefecture will feel nostalgic if they receive this candy in yellowtail few years. There are such sweets in Tono.
　Nowadays, it seems that there are customers from outside the town and prefecture who come to buy this sweet, regardless of whether they are Town residents. Kikuya, a Japanese and Western confectionery shop that continues to be loved so much, also sells birthday cakes with custom-made character designs.
That's one of the reasons why it's loved.
　Such Kikuya's sweets are also sold at the station café in the tourism association office. Squid why not buy it as a gift for your loved ones or those who have taken care of you?
