[Lake Hamana sightseeing] I went around sweets at Lake Oku Hamana!

The two people, wearing Enshu cotton, came to the Tenpaku Iwakura Ruins, which is located within the grounds of Ii Shrine and is known as a power spot near Lake Okuhamana.

This place is also famous as the place associated with Naotora, and a huge stone is enshrined there.

We filmed the opening of Jenne Channel in this sacred place, and today was a day of eating around.

I’m going to go to see the sweets at Lake Okuhamana.

The first place I visited was Sugiya.

This place has a delicious sponge cake filled with red bean paste called “Iisama,” and miso buns are also famous.

80 yen per piece⁉ It’s an unbelievable price, but it’s a filling snack.

We also sell Western sweets such as tarts, so you can enjoy Japanese and Western sweets. “Iisama” was apparently devised in collaboration with Ryutanji Temple, where the Ii family’s family temple is located.

 

Next we headed to Toyama Honten, which is famous for its Hime-sama sticks.

This sweet with a wonderful name that reminds me of the Princess’s Journey held every March has layers of almond, sponge cake, and strawberry jam, and has a very crispy and fluffy texture. It comes in stick form and is easy to eat, and the packaging is cute. It also makes a great souvenir.

 

The other place I was planning to go to was Nozawa Seika.

However, unfortunately, they were temporarily closed on that day. You can purchase Daianmaki at Nozawa Seika. Among them, the seasonal strawberry bean paste is so popular that it often sells out. I couldn’t eat it that day, so this is an image from when I bought it another day.

After purchasing some famous sweets from Lake Okuhamana, we took out the very popular hamburger "Mori's Burger" and headed to Hosoe Park.

You can see the view of Lake Oku-Hamana from the observation tower in the park.

It is also recommended as a date spot.

After seeing the wonderful scenery, we sat on a bench in the gazebo and had lunch.

Mori’s Burger is characterized by its juicy patty and sour sauce. It also goes great with buns. Even though I ate fries, I didn’t want sweets. You can put in as many delicious things as you like.

There are other confectionery shops in Okuhamanako, each with a different taste of misoman. It’s fun to compare the flavors, and at the event we will also be selling “Okuhamanako Misoman Story,” which is a pack of misoman from 9 stores.

Akiko Jenne, who has a sweet tooth, is a big fan of “Okuhamanako Misoman Story”! I’m too scared to ask how many pieces I ate (lol)

At this time there were 10 stores. Currently, you can enjoy the taste of Okuhamanako Misoman Monogatari from 9 stores.

 

The Oku-Hamanako area is a lush green area surrounded by mountains that can be reached within an hour by car from central Hamamatsu City. There are many sightseeing spots such as Ryutanji Temple, Hokoji Temple, Kohoku Gozan, and flower and autumn foliage spots.

Be sure to buy some delicious sweets when you go out.

Hamamatsu Power Food – Visit the birthplace of soft-shelled turtle farming in search of Hamamatsu ingredients that are said to have supported the advancement of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Jenne and her friends go out on location early in the morning.

Ayano Jenne looks very sleepy.

Jenne Okubo then offers hot soup.

“This is actually a soft-shelled turtle soup that is very good for the body.Hamamatsu is actually the birthplace of soft-shelled turtles,” says Jenne Okubo.

When you think of Hamamatsu, you probably think of eel, but in fact, soft-shelled turtle is also famous and has a long history.

On this day, I visited the Hattori Nakamura Tortoise Farm in Magori-cho, Nishi-ku, Hamamatsu City, which is a company that has started full-scale farming of soft-shelled turtles.

It is said that eel was also farmed in the past.

Turtle farm’s soft-shelled turtle

Soft-shelled turtle is a high-quality food ingredient that is said to be good for beauty and health as it contains a lot of collagen and amino acids, but it has a long growing period and takes 3 to 4 years to grow before being shipped, making it difficult to maintain a stable supply.

I had the experience of picking up such a soft-shelled turtle.

Sea Lake Report: Walking the Himekaido Road, Kiga-Mikkabi Edition

I decided to walk down Honsaka-dori (commonly known as Hime-kaido), which has been a side street of the Tokaido since ancient times and has been visited by many travelers.

Last time, I walked from the Amma starting point in Chuo Ward, Hamamatsu City to Kiga-shuku in Hamana Ward.

This time, I would like to continue walking from Kiga-juku to Mikkabi-juku.

The atmosphere is different from the section I walked last time, with cobblestone streets and historic sites scattered throughout.

This is a journey where you can feel the vestiges of the past, when many travelers came and went.

I walked around feeling like a person from the past, so I’ll tell you what it was like.
