Fantastic and kind service from the lovely owner. She is very polite and sweet and makes you feel right at home, the moment you arrive in the shop. We ordered the miso konnyaku oden based on the recommendations, and it was very tasty! Warms up right up after the trek. She very kindly also reminded us the bus timings and showed us the schedule. Please visit to support this shop!

元旦の日、初詣の帰りにおしるこを食べによりました。元旦だったので、お店の中はかなり混雑しましたが、少し待ってお席に座れました。 お菓子屋さんなので、小豆が美味しい。 お餅も美味しく、お餅の焦げ目がおしるこの味を引き立てます。 観音様の参道沿いには、いくつかおしるこを食べられるお店がありますが、お菓子屋さんのおしるこは格別だな!と思いました。

夏の暑い日、汗をかきながら訪れると「まずはこちらを」と冷たくてとてもおいしい麦茶をいただきました。天然水から作った氷のかき氷は頭がキーンとしないふわふわのかき氷でした。和菓子屋さんだそうであんこもおいしいです。美人でお話がお上手な女将さんが、高崎観音様にまつわるお話や、こちらと縁があると言うモチモチの木の切り絵作家さんのお話など楽しいお話を聞かせて下さって、今回の高崎観音訪問がこちらのおかげでとても充実したものになりました。この店によってよかったです。レトロな扇風機はマニアの人は喜びそうです

白衣観音を参拝した後はバスで高崎まで。 近くの坂を下りバス停の時刻表を見ると、概ね1時間に1本程度。到着まで少し時間あるので近隣散策。 周辺地図で参道商店街とあったのでそこで時間をつぶそうかと思ったが、平日ということもあり閑散。閉まっている店も多く、営業中のお店もほぼダルマ屋さん。 あまり見るところもなさそうなので近くのお土産屋さん兼喫茶店へ。 女将さんの接客が好印象で、コーヒーと共にここ安らぐひと時を過ごせました。 それにしても女将さんの発声といか、声の通りが素晴らしい。 どっかの劇団とか歌系の仕事でもしてたことあるのかな。
