Delicious. The shiratama is served warm, freshly boiled. The sweetness of the rice cake is soft and pleasant, without any unpleasant chewiness. It was the most delicious shiratama I've ever had. And the size is large. The shiratama, comparable in size to the vanilla ice cream in the middle of the photo, provided a satisfying eating experience, and I was full. The agar jelly also had a new texture. It was loosely set and melted in the mouth. Very delicious. I had it with anmitsu and Kaga stick tea milk tea. 1180 yen.

On October 14, 2022, I visited a new store that opened in Jozankei, serving dishes like white dumplings with roasted green tea and white dumplings with Uji matcha. The store, associated with Tsutsumiya, offers freshly boiled white dumplings with dishes like sweet red bean soup and sweet simmered adzuki beans. Located just before the hot spring town, the store has plenty of parking spaces. The exterior and interior, renovated from an old folk house, exude a traditional Japanese atmosphere. The first floor has table seats, while the second floor has tatami mat seating, making it child-friendly. The white dumplings are made from a blend of Hokkaido rice flour and Kumamoto white dumpling flour, giving them a chewy texture. Although it takes time to boil them after ordering, they are served in their best state. The white dumplings with roasted green tea and Uji matcha are visually and taste-wise amazing, topped with homemade black syrup made from Okinawa brown sugar. The Tokachi red bean paste is mildly sweet and pairs perfectly with the white dumplings. The roasted green tea and Uji matcha are rich and flavorful, making the set with a drink a great choice. I opted for roasted green tea, which was warm and comforting. The pickled vegetables served as a palate cleanser were also delightful. It's a great place to stop by while visiting the hot springs, and the option for takeout is a plus. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience.

Today was a stroll around Jozankei, and after eating soba, I had white dumplings for dessert. I planned to eat inside the restaurant, but it was full, so I had to get it to go. I ordered and paid, then was given a buzzer and told to wait outside or in the car due to the small interior. After waiting in the car for 14 minutes, the buzzer rang. I received the dessert and enjoyed it in the car. The "Shiratama with Kinako" (500 yen) included warm and soft white dumplings, vanilla ice cream, red bean paste, kinako, and black syrup. The fluffy white dumplings were still slightly warm and delicious. When combined with the ice cream, red bean paste, kinako, and black syrup, it was creamy, sweet, and smooth. It was excellent. I look forward to trying the cream white dumplings inside the restaurant next time. Thank you, Mokushi, for the meal!

I visited this newly opened place recently. The white rice cakes were deliciously chewy and the fruits were beautifully arranged, which was great. However, the drink I ordered as a set was served in a glass mug that looked greasy, like it had oil stains on it. That is not acceptable for serving to customers. Also, the waitress who brought the drink seemed inexperienced. She placed it on the table with such force that the contents spilled out, and she didn't seem to notice or care. It was quite unpleasant. I think once is enough for me to visit this place. Thank you for the meal.

Oh, finally it's open! Congratulations! This building has been finished since around the Golden Week in May. It seems like there were some issues with the staff, so the opening got delayed until today. You can also get takeout, but I've been waiting for this, so I decided to dine in. I ordered the limited 10 servings per day Fruit Anmitsu for 1,280 yen. It had apricot, apple, strawberry, kiwi, orange, shiratama, vanilla ice cream, agar jelly, sweet beans, and red bean paste. It also came with pickled burdock as a palate cleanser. The freshly boiled shiratama was a standout. I also tried the Fruit Cider for 700 yen, which was made with blueberry, pineapple, and yellow peach. Although it had shiratama too, the cider tasted like a detox water version of soda. It looked tropical and cute, but it wasn't particularly delicious. I think cream soda would be better. There is a second-floor seating area where you have to take off your shoes, and it's beautifully designed in a Japanese style. However, it might not be suitable for older customers due to the stairs. On the other hand, families with young children can enjoy a peaceful environment, but they should be careful not to disturb other customers. It seems like the best fit for mature customers or those who prefer a quiet atmosphere. The parking lot is convenient, making it easy to visit.

It was too crowded, so I could only do takeout. I wish they had a sign in front of the store or somewhere. I was waiting after looking at the menu on Tabelog, but when I entered the store, I couldn't order soft serve ice cream, which was disappointing.
