Arima Koeido sweets shop

After strolling for a couple of hours, we started getting a little hungry. We stopped by Arima Koeido, a sweets shop that has been in operation for over 200 years.

A specialty here is “Getanoha.” Made out of wheat, eggs, brown sugar and white sugar, it’s somewhat similar to cookies — but also has a resemblance to “senbei,” or Japanese rice crackers. It’s been said that miners who used to work in Iwami Ginzan ate Getanoha as a snack.

Cafe Juru

We continued walking toward the entrance of Ryugenji Mabu Mine Shaft and stopped by Cafe Juru for lunch.

I fell in love with all the small, unique decorations outside.

The inside was cozy, with jazz playing in the background.

We had a special lunch set (3,000 yen) that needs to be booked in advance. The cafe features various menu items that use locally-grown vegetables.

I especially enjoyed the chicken grilled in miso and “ume” plums.

We were now a short walk away from Ryugenji Mabu — which will be a topic of my next blog entry.
