Mizumanju Mission!

Mizumanju Mission!
Owen saw a shop selling mizumanju (a kind of traditional Japanese sweet) on TV and said he wanted to eat it. The shop on the show was in Ogaki, which is not so far from Ichinomiya, so on Sunday we went there by train.

I asked the lady at the tourist information office, "Where is the mizumanju shop?" and she answered, "There are lots!" Oh.

First we went to the one we saw on TV, bought some mizumanju, & ate it by the river nearby.

Next we visited Ogaki Castle, then we visited another mizumanju shop, where we had `mizumanjugori` - mizumanju with shaved ice. Yum yum!

After that we found ANOTHER mizumanju shop, so we bought & ate some more...

Finally we returned to the first shop & bought some mizumanju to take home for my wife. But we ate some of them on the train...

If you like mizumanju, I definitely recommend Ogaki!

Were your stmachs OK? I had full as only reading your article. But it sounds yummy! Though, I have to eat some souvenir cakes at first. Mizumanju are so far for me until I could eat.

Hi,Otto! Now I'm now in Wuhan of China again.
Seems you ate lots of Mizumanju and liked them.
Taste of Azuki is the most important factor,isn't it?
Did you find any difference depending on shops?
I'm not familiar with Mizumanju a lot so I'm curious about it.

By the way, I won't attend this weeks class so looking forward to seeing you next class.
