This day, I went to Koushi-dou. It is traditional Japanese dessert shop in Suwa city. Mr. Kurita is president and craftsman at the shop. His shop started 99 years ago. He is a third-generation. In Nov, 9th, I saw article at newspaper about his shop. Suwa jitsugyou high school students designed for his product’s sticker.
He told me, long time ago was 60 – 70 traditional Japanese sweets shop was here in Suwa city. But now are only 17 shops… I think I need to such great tradition to pass down to future generations!!! I didn’t know we can enjoy traditional Japanese sweets each four seasons!!! Can you believe it? It is true!!! In this autumn Dango, Inoko-mochi, Tsutsugayu. In spring, Sakura-mochi, Kashiwa-mochi and so on. I still need study about Japanese traditional sweet. I will write about each season’s Japanese traditional sweet continue from now!
