[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.

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.

We hear from Hamamatsu Flower Park Chairman Ms. Konami Tsukamoto about the charm of wisteria flowers!

Chairman Ms. Tsukamoto looks at the wisteria flowers and says, “They’re so cute!”

Karuizawa of Tenryu? ! “Harubaru” is a delicatessen restaurant where you can enjoy the warmth of Haruno and freshly baked wood-fired pizza.

I heard that there is a place in Harunocho, Tenryu Ward, Hamamatsu City that is called “Tenryu’s Karuizawa.” Once a month, you can enjoy freshly baked pizza made in a wood-fired oven. The name of the shop is Harubaru.

 

A drop of nature grown in Hamamatsu Tenryu Forest. “Kuromoji tea” made from trees

This year too, the delicious treasure grown in the forest, “Kicoro forest scented tea,” will be coming to town.

It is Kuromoji tea from Tenryu Forest, which was created with the idea of ​​being an “entrance to get people interested in the forest,” and is harvested only once a year in early spring.

I first encountered this tea four years ago. At a cafe in Tenryu Ward, a friend recommended it to me and said, “This Kuromoji tea is delicious. It’s made from wood.” When I asked her, “What is a tree? You mean the leaves on that tree?”, she answered that they were not actually leaves. When we think of tea, we think of green tea or herbal tea, which is made from soft materials such as leaves and flower petals. So when I was told that it was made from wood, I couldn’t imagine it.

What arrived on the table was a gentle pink tea with a very nice aroma that overturned the image of “wood”.

You may not be familiar with the “Kuromoji” tree, but you might know it as a sweet toothpick used to cut up Japanese sweets and bring them to your mouth.

Nowadays, many of them are made of plastic or other wood, but they were originally made from the Kuromoji tree, which has a pleasant aroma and antibacterial properties. It is well known that when Sen no Rikyu, a famous tea master, made tea for Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, he offered them a freshly shaved fragrant toothpick from a branch of the Kuromoji tree in his garden. The scent of Kuromoji may have soothed the spirits of war-torn military commanders.

Japanese sweets and Kuromoji cutting sweets

Kuromoji is said to be an aromatic native to Japan, and its refreshing yet sweet scent is said to have antiviral and relaxing effects. It is said that it is also included in Chanel No. 5, and it is a tree that is like the savior of today’s times.

Kuromoji has been drunk for treatment and health since ancient times. A herbal medicine called Usho is made from the leaves and branches, and it is also brewed and drunk as a health tea. So, what is the difference between Tenryu no Mori’s Kuromoji tea and the health teas that have been drunk up until now?

The person who makes Tenryu Forest’s Kuromoji tea is Mr. Takeshi Maeda, who works as a “visible woodcutter” to connect the mountains and the city. Even though I don’t like the outdoors or the rain, I was selfish because I wanted to see the black moji tree. Then, on a rainy day at the start of the rainy season, Mr. Maeda showed me around Kikoro Forest in Tenryu.
