There is a famous Japanese confectionery shop located just a short walk from Miyazu Station. This time, I tried two types of steamed yokan. The visual presentation of the Japanese sweets is beautiful. They are sweet, but with a refined sweetness that doesn't linger. The texture is also great, and they taste delicious. Steamed yokan was a new experience for me. It has a moist and slightly sticky texture, which was interesting. The sweetness is refreshing, similar to the Japanese sweets, and it's a tasty yokan. All of them were delicious, and I highly recommend them!

The oak cake is available for only two days. It had a refreshing and delicious scent of mugwort.

It is a well-known traditional Japanese confectionery shop in Miyazu. As another person mentioned, it is great to be able to enjoy high-quality sweets at this price. The locals often purchase from here for gifts, as Shirafujiya's sweets are reliable and always bring joy to the recipient. Located just a 3-minute walk from Miyazu Station on the Kyoto Tango Railway, the shop has a calm atmosphere and the staff are friendly. If you love Japanese sweets, this is a shop that I recommend trying at least once.

During the three-day weekend in September, I visited a shop in Miyazu City during a drive. The exterior and interior of the shop were both filled with a charming "wa" atmosphere that would appeal to lovers of traditional Japanese sweets. This time, I purchased four pieces of wagashi for 180 yen each. I was surprised by how affordable they were. If you were to buy similar sweets from a major traditional Japanese confectionery, they would cost around 400 yen each! The sweets from this shop were inexpensive yet meticulously made, with smooth bean paste and a subtly sweet flavor. It was a wonderful place where you could enjoy elegant Japanese sweets. I had previously assumed that delicate flavors would be harder to find in the countryside, but I was proven wrong. This shop could easily compete with those in Kyoto. One of the sweets I tried was called "Juugoya," which featured a white bean paste resembling a full moon inside agar. The amount of white bean paste was more than I expected, and as a fan of bean paste, I was very satisfied. Another sweet called "Kaki" was a simple wagashi with white bean paste wrapped in mochi to represent the changing color of a persimmon from green to orange. I forgot the names of the other two sweets, but they all contained delicious fillings such as red bean paste, mashed sweet potato, and yolk bean paste. The shop also offered treats like yokan and mochi, so I look forward to trying more than just wagashi next time.

I received "松葉" from Shira Fujiya Kashiya as a souvenir. It is a simple-looking traditional snack with a taste that has remained unchanged for years. It has a firm texture and a simple flavor. It may be too hard for those with weak teeth, but I personally enjoyed the texture. It has a subtly sweet taste that is comforting and nostalgic. It paired well with Japanese tea.
