On this day, Shokushinbo Kasai visited "Tokoro Terrace" in Shiga Akanuma, Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture.
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, Restrooms 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 Restrooms available, and the salad with Kanten (agar-agar) added to the appetizer enhances the deliciousness of the main dish! It is easy for men to enter, and there are counter seats, so you can 🍴 easily enjoy a café or lunch.

The shop itself is all barrier-free, so you can enter the store with peace of mind even in a car, and it seems that there are many customers who come to the café with three generations, grandmothers, mothers, and grandchildren, and enjoy it at the café.
How about as a souvenir in Suwa?

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! Restrooms 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!!

This firework festival started in 1949. After WW2, most Japanese citizens exhausted for war… We needed some hope and bounce back. So, it’s started this firework festival for citizens. It has been held in 1949. This year was 76th. How awesome it is!!! But recently, we got the Nankai Trough Earthquake Warnings, so had to pay close attention to everything.
Our fireworks festival launches on the lake. The Lake Suwa’s unique point is the lake was surrounded by mountains!!! This is a big point. That’s why we could hear fireworks sound is so loud! It means we can feel sound in our body!!! I bet, if you feel same size fireworks compare to Lake Suwa or other, you will say Lake Suwa fireworks way louder than others! I promise!!! Because, we have unique landscape around Lake Suwa. The mountains become just like huge speaker!!! So, we can feel and hear sound so loud! This phenomenon is ONLY Lake Suwa!!! It is an exceptional situation.
During the morning was sunny but, afternoon it was rain twice. Just before the festival, it was so nice weather! So, we held very nice festival. Thank you so much!!!
