The person who took time out of his busy schedule to talk to us was Mr. Tsuchihashi. There and a main store near the Suwa Lake, and there are two stores in the Suwa City of Kamisuwa Station, one in front of Kamisuwa Station. The company was founded in 1929 in front of Kamisuwa Station as Maruyasu Tanakaya. This year, it is a confectionery and cake shop that boasts a history of 95 years. Speaking of Maruyasu Tanakaya? It is a "cheesecake entremet" that can also be ordered!! It seems that the beauty advisor Chizu Saeki introduced it as a more well-known opportunity. Cheesecake entremet itself is a flagship product that has been loved for 40 years. It is also shipped nationwide, so I hope that people from all over Japan will be able to enjoy it! Maruyasu Tanakaya has a strong image of Western confectionery, but when it was first founded, it made Japanese sweets. The recipe from that time is still being used in "Yokan"! It is made with red beans and azuki beans carefully selected from the fact that we have been wholesaling Rice, so please enjoy yokan! Mr. Tsuchihashi's recommendation is the country of ⇒ Shinano!! Gastronomical delicacies with chopped chestnuts in Butter castella and wrapped in lemon cream with a refreshing aroma!

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.

On this day, the gluttonous Kasai visited a Japanese confectionery shop that I had been interested in for a long time! It is "Koshido" in Suehiro, Suwa City. We interviewed President Kurita about his story. It is a long-established Japanese confectionery store that has been in business for 99 years since 1925 (Taisho 14)!! The current president seems to be the third generation. It just so happened that five days before I visited, a Local newspaper published an article saying that the hanging paper and stickers of Koshido's Standard products were designed by students of the Local Suwa Industrial High School. Even in the midst of history, I was fascinated by such a flexible place, and I made an appointment. According to the president, there used to be 60~70 stores in the Suwa City Confectionery Association, and there were Member stores stores in the city alone, but now there are only 17 stores. I wanted to pass on to future generations the culture of Japanese sweets that my ancestors left behind. I myself love bean paste, and I have always liked Japanese sweets. On this day, you can enjoy Japanese sweets in all four seasons I was able to learn anew!! Sakura mochi and Kashiwa mochi in Spring, peony mochi and hagi in Ohigan, pig mochi and tsutsugayu in autumn...

Comet Atlas Did you know that by 10/13~10/26, the comet was seen with the "naked eye" in Japan? The gluttonous Kasai is... I was so focused on my appetite that I forgot about it. Sorry... Then, Mr. F.N., a co-photographer, provided us with a photo. It's a 🌠 very nice photo, I want to take a beautiful picture like this! And I'm happy to be born in a city where you can see such a beautiful scene! I think it's a city we can be proud of!! Don't you remember that the comet was seen from Tateishi Park? That scene in that movie!! You can see the lake, and the comet is falling... Right! It's that movie! "Your ◯" This is the model of Lake Itomori! It is also rumored to be a "sacred place" that foreign customers can visit. I received a photo of Comet Atlas of Mt. Shigane seen from Tateishi Park, so I will deliver it to you. There is a comet in all of them, so please look for them! * The brightness has been adjusted. After all, on the day of this shooting, it seems that there were many talented photographers in Tateishi Park! The lens of the camera alone is the price of one light Automobile!!!! The camera is very profound. My wife is angry with me for not using a single-lens reflex camera at all, but I will 📷 do my best every day to deliver attractive photos of Suwa to everyone * Personally, I would appreciate it if you could teach me how to operate the camera (how to shoot fireworks and comets) with the Nikon D series (7100 old Squid Mera, but I love it). ・Tsuchinshan-ATLAS Did you know, you could see the Tsuchinshan-ATLAS on Oct 13th – Oct 26th? Even on your naked eye. One of my friends gave to us this picture. Filmed by Miss F.N. It’s so beautiful, emotional and fantastic pictures. I'm so proud of my city and truly happy to be born in Suwa!!! Lake and comet, can you remind famous animation movie? I know you can. ‘Your Name’ right? She gave us some picture. I want to share to you guys these fantastic pictures. All pics show the Tsuchinshan-ATLAS, please find it out!!! That day, so many cameramen were Tateishi park. One of them told her, this camera lens was about over $6500!!! That’s so amazing!!! It's deeper than it seems… I have Nikon camera (not so expensive but it is so nice camera). I have to study how to take a picture way better than before. I need skill up my technique before my wife got mad to me… Because, I hadn’t used my camera recently. Hey, I know, I need a practice over and over, right?

2024.10.22 On this day, while enduring hunger (laughs), I went to a Autumn leaves spot in the city and took a photo in order to deliver "Suwa Autumn leaves Information", which has been receiving many inquiries recently. It was sunny in the morning, but in the afternoon it became cloudy due to my bad Squid. Please forgive me... The following are my impressions of each Spot, but my personal subjectivity has been included, so I would appreciate your understanding and understanding. (1) Takashima Castle, Gokoku Shrine ⇒ Ginkgo was not colored at all, but was still lush. I have the impression that the maple has also begun to fade in color. (2) Around Suwa Lake and Lakeside Park ⇒ I have the impression that it is starting to color little by little, but I feel that it is still a long way off. (3) Katakurakan ⇒ I have the impression that the Ginkgo is gradually becoming yellowish, but I think it is still a long way off. (4) Tateishi Park ⇒ This is also the impression that it is starting to color little by little. It was raining on the 23rd, but the maximum temperature was 23 degrees Celsius. The mornings are also warm, and the maximum temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius this week, and the minimum temperature does not fall below 10 degrees Celsius. I feel that it will be later than every year! Today, I’ll update to you guys about Suwa city’s Autumn Leaves recent situation. I got some phone call about these types of inquiry. So, I went Suwa Autumn leaves spots in Oct, 22nd!!! That day’ AM was sunny, but I’m unlucky man! PM was so cloud… Please forgive me!!! *Caution: it is in my opinion please understand it! 1. Takashima Castle and Gokoku Shrine --- Gingko was so green! Just some leave was turning yellow. 2. Lake Suwa and around Kohan Park --- I think 20 - 30% was changing their leaves color to yellow and red. 3. Katakura-kan --- I think 20 - 30% Katakura-kan’s Gingko is gradually changing yellow color. 4. Tateishi Park --- I think same as Katakura-kan, Maples and Cherry blossoms are changing their leaves to red color. (20 - 30%) Yesterday was rainy in Suwa. But it was 74 degrees Fahrenheit!!! It wasn’t cold, it’s so crazy… Usually in Suwa around November, it is supposed to be under 59 degrees Fahrenheit. I think Suwa Autumn leaves are delay for more than a week compare to usual year.

From Kamisuwa Station, within a 1km walk along National Route 20, Suwa's Famous Sake Brewery Gozo is lined up, and for this Events, we made it a pedestrian paradise to the traffic light in Suwa 2-chome ~ Motomachi. The members of Suwa's Gozo served the famous sake 🍶 that they served with confidence. This year, Japanese cypress became an Events where you can enjoy famous sake with the Aroma of Japanese cypress. The tickets were limited to 3,000 and were so popular that they were sold out on 9/30!! Since last year, the number of Snacks stalls restaurants in the Local has increased, and there have been stalls by people in the neighboring area!! On the day of the event, I was a little worried about the weather, but at 11:00 a.m., when the ticket was exchanged, the exchange place was crowded, and the city began to be crowded toward the start of the pedestrian paradise at 12:00, and at 13:00, the start time, there was a line in front of Gozo for the brand I was looking for!! At the opening, after greetings from the mayor of Suwa City City and the president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Standard "Wood Usage" in Suwa was cut into the mouth. After that, the woodcutters walked along the Along the road and responded to requests until 🎶 around 17:00 at the end. From 14:00, Local dancers enlivened the venue.

Drinking delicious Sake and touching delicious Local dishes and Snacks will naturally make you 🎶 smile. I was able to meet the smiles of many people! Thank you very much. And what surprised me was the small number of Traditional Japanese straw raincoat. Held in, I picked up trash at Kamisuwa Station ~ the back of the venue just before the end, but it seems that there was not much trash on the street. I think it was the result of everyone who participated sorting and throwing it away. As I walked around with the bag, I said, "If you have trash, please put it in this bag!" and several people who came to the venue said, "Wow, that's amazing! Do you even collect trash? Thank you very much." I was so tired that I was called out!

Shanofu Shinshu Hand-Baked Rice Crackers Honpo On this day, Shokushinbo Kasai visited Shinshu Hand-Baked Senbei Honpo. It is a hand-baked rice cracker shop that has been open here for about 35 years. On the day of the event, we were guided by President Hiroko Kitahara, who also bakes rice crackers. When I entered the store, the first thing I thought of was the variety of products. Really, there were 🍘 so many types that Kawanishi, who likes rice crackers, could get lost Among them, there were really Many types and, including stained rice crackers and rakkasen. Popularity No,1 is glue No. 2 is doubled No. 3 is apple crackers Next, Nozawana wasabi Nozawana wasabi is rare, isn't it? Nozawana is often seen in Souvenirs shops in the prefecture, but "Nozawana wasabi" is hard to find! Apples, Nozawana, and wasabi are all Nagano specialties. Karin is a specialty of Suwa. Apricots, matcha, white sugar, brown sugar, shichimi, ichimi, miso, green onion miso, walnut miso, garlic, etc. Even in Nagano Prefecture, there is the largest type of rice cracker. I think so. Kasai's recommendations are "garlic" and "twice". Garlic is a gastronomical delicacies with a slight garlic flavor. The second rice cracker has a strong flavor, so you can enjoy the mellow taste of soy sauce. After all, it is hand-baked, so the crunch is the best, and if you like hard rice crackers, this is a recommended store. Among them, the most noteworthy product is "Fukutoku!! Some of you may understand it when you hear "Fukutoku". President Kitahara's grandfather made "Fukutoku". Unlike fortune cookies, fortune cookies have good luck charms inside!! Somehow, I wanted to revive it, and it seems that I was able to reprint it in the generation of President Kitahara. And after all, Shinshu hand-baked rice crackers are hand-baked & Taisha-mae!! It may be sold by hand, but when you visit Suwa Grand Shrine Main Shrine, the Soba (buckwheat noodles) ⛩ of Taisha Main Shrine's Torii (shrine gate), why don't you take a walk around the northern approach to the temple by all means, looking for your favorite flavor 🍘 and Souvenirs at the Shinshu hand-baked rice cracker honpo? ◎ Shinshu hand-baked rice crackers honpo 📍 〒392-0015 201 Nakasu, Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture (Suwa Grand Shrine Kita approach to the temple) ☎0266-58-1235 Business hours : Weekdays 9:30~16:30 (subject to change) : Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays 9:00~17:00 ◎Regular holiday : Open open all year

This is a very stylish shop ☕ where you can have a café and Meals in a shop that sells Famous Kanten (agar-agar) in Suwa 　Tokoro Terrace said, "Make Kanten (agar-agar) more accessible! We are sending out the ease with which customers can incorporate Kanten (agar-agar) into their daily lives. 　On this day, the person who introduced the store was Mr. Kurane, the manager. This is a factory specializing in tokoroten, and there is a shop and café next to it, so the tokoroten will be Fresh made from the factory next door!!　I don't like vinegar and soy sauce, and I've been ♪ scared since I learned about black honey because it's real zero calories (except for black honey www)!! The Kanten (agar-agar) is diverse, such as square Kanten (agar-agar) (stick Kanten (agar-agar)), thread Kanten (agar-agar), and powdered Kanten (agar-agar), There is a it is a multiplayer Kanten (agar-agar) that can be added to rice, miso soup, and salads!　When I was a child, on the day of the school lunch of mandarin orange milk Kanten (agar-agar), I was a student who couldn't wait and wandered around the serving room of the school lunch room.　It also provides dietary fiber and does not interfere with other ingredients, so it is the "Shohei Otani of the food world" who is active in main dishes, appetizers, and desserts!!　On this day, the gluttonous Kasai found a Kanten (agar-agar) of 100 bottles, and it seems that there are people who buy it several times a year!!　It was a surprising amount and a masterpiece www 　At the café, available Tokoroten, cream Anmitsu (sweet bean jam) (popular No. 1), soft serve ice cream, and even the Popular pudding, which uses the Kanten (agar-agar) as an ingredients. lunch (11:00 – 14:00) is also available, and the salad with Kanten (agar-agar) added to the appetizer enhances the deliciousness of the main dish!

Nouvelle Plum Grove Suwa (Sweets House Nouvel) 　 On this day, Shokushinbo Kasai visited the Nouvelle Plum Grove Suwa store (Sweets House Nouvel). It's such a famous store that "there is no one who doesn't know it in the Suwa City area"! The exterior is stylish and reminiscent of a candy house as the name suggests. Among the Nouvelles, the mainstay "Kurumi Yamabiko" is a Gastronomical delicacies that Kasai also loves. A special walnut caramel that is slowly simmered using Fresh milk from Shinshu Yatsugatake mountain foothills is wrapped in a crispy cookie. The cookies around it are not sweet, and the walnut caramel inside is moderately sweet, and the balance with the wrapped cookies is excellent!!　This is really unstoppable deliciousness. Except for my eldest son and second daughter, who are allergic to nuts, the entire family, including my parents, is a big fan www This hit product of Plum Grove is said to be a Traditional Japanese straw raincoat parent by the current president!　Available for the most delicious walnuts and mabiko!　It was released in 1985 and is now in its 39th year!! The person who responded on this day was Mr. Yudazaka, the chief of the Administration Department. According to the story, Plum Grove seems to have a strong desire to "use Local ingredients and materials". And did you know that there are store-only sweets that can only be found in each store? That's it here ↓ ・ Suwa store → cream puff ・Okaya Main Store → Waffles ・ Shimo Suwa store → Oyster ice / pie (common to all stores custard pie + lower Suwa limited original flavor) ・ Chino store → soft serve ice cream Also available at the Okaya store (Yamabiko Soft is limited to Chino) ・ Cheesecake seems to be a store-only sweet that can only be found in each store, so please come and visit us! Following in the footsteps of "Kurumi Yamabiko" is "Suwa no Tsuki". Here, the walnut caramel inside is the same as walnuts and mabiko, but even if you mix white bean paste here and eat walnuts and mabiko, it is Popular with elderly people who have difficulty swallowing! It seems that the fact that by mixing white bean paste, it is easier to cut and clear the throat than walnuts and mabiko, which is a proof of its popularity!　It's a great ingenuity, isn't it? It was a story that showed a glimpse of evidence of its popularity among all. In the top three is Suwakurumi Caramel!! Suwa→Karin, Shimo Suwa→Manji Stone Buddha, Okaya → Silkworm, Chino → Jomon Venus, started with four, but Haramura, Fujimi was eager to manufacture them, and Haramura→ celery and Fujimi →Tomatoes were born, and the characters of Town/Village six neighboring cities were all available. The red ruby of the Fujimi Highlands actually has a secret story of its birth. In fact, at the Tokyo Olympics, a Tomatoes made by students of the horticulture department of Fuji Midaka School was decided to pass the judging, but as you know, the Held in was delayed by one year, right?! Then, when the president learned of the Tomatoes of a student who had nowhere to go, he said, "Let's use it as a material for Highlands rubies!! One word. It's numbing, isn't it? It is still being traded today. This kind of thinking about the president's "things of the earth" has created a blockbuster product!! That's what I think. 　Lastly, Mr. Yudazaka's recommendation, which we talked to on this day, is "Kokko Sable First Thing in the Morning"!　The egg is a simple sable using fresh eggs raised by the people of Yatsugatake Central Agricultural Practical College in Haramura, and although it is soft, it is a sable that retains the firm Butter feeling of the sable. For the gluttonous Kasai, the best walnuts and mabiko are recommended!!　I learned about it for the first time, but it sells the original form after manufacturing and before cutting. It comes in a wooden box, comes with a special knife, etc. A dream-like product 🌟 I think that if no one saw it, it would be stuck as it is www Here, it seems that several films come out a year!! I wonder if I'll buy it as a birthday present ~ 🎶 It's an unbearable Gastronomical delicacies for walnuts and mabiko lovers! 　 Nouvelle Plum Grove's products are very appreciated as "Souvenirs". Some sweets are made with motifs from the Suwa region and some use things from the Suwa region. If my family were to take Souvenirs, Nouvelle Plum Grove Hall would be the only choice w Speaking of Souvenirs of sweets that are appreciated in the Suwa region, it is "Nouvelle Plum Grove Hall".　If you come to the Suwa area or find it at a dealership, please purchase it and Gari it!! ◎ Nouvel Plum Grove Suwa store (Sweets House Nouvel) 📍 1-2556-7 Jominami, Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture ☎0266-54-7971 Business hours & Regular holiday : 10:00~19:00 Closed only on New Year's Day

!! Suwa Introducing the Takashima Castle Festival! May 26, 2024 (the fourth Sunday in May every year). The 55th Takashima Castle Festival was held in. This year, 19 groups presented on stage. We and hip-hop dances, Japan dances, Drum, singer singing, cheerleading, and Matsumoto Castle arquebus. The Gun Squad made a strong impression on me. Even in Japan, it is not easy to see. The arquebus is about 430 years old, and I think that there are few people who have traditionally preserved what can be used Squid still in existence. The people who protect the arquebus and carry on the tradition are the people of the Matsumoto Castle Gun Corps. Therefore, arquebuses can be seen at Events such as Matsumoto Castle. The gunners brought several types of arquebuses. To the untrained eye, I saw two types of arquebuses. The first is the bantsu (infantry gun), and the next is the medium tube (medium gun). They fired blanks in several different formations. It was a great impact sound! Finally, a batter from Suwa shot the middle tube. It was a huge sound that seemed to cut through the space we were in. It was really amazing, and I felt wonderful! Drum performances, children's Hip-Hop dances, and families came to watch. In this festival, you can buy specialties from Stalls, sister cities, and friendship cities, and you can also do tree climbing!! We were blessed with good weather and many citizens came to the event. If you have the opportunity to come to the Takashima Castle Festival, please come and enjoy it!
