5 Original Sweets and Beers to Try When Visiting Kinosaki Onsen Town
The standard way to enjoy Kinosaki Onsen is to don a yukata and wander around the outdoor baths. As a result, there are plenty of sweets to enjoy while strolling through the hot spring town. Here we will introduce some original and unique sweets and beers.
Cute looking sweets in a bottle
Only in a hot spring town where yukatas look great! Sweets served in a bottle inspired by yukata.
Not only are they cute in appearance, but the sweets are also exquisite, carefully handmade one by one using carefully selected local ingredients.
Kinosaki Sweets also has a variety of other original products, such as gluten-free cheesecake and Baumkuchen made with rice flour.
Canelés made with rice and carefully selected local ingredients
Katashima Seikodo, located on Kiyamachi Square, is a specialty store that sells gluten-free sweets that use rice as the main ingredient.
The caneles are made using 100% homemade rice flour from "stork-raised rice," and feature carefully selected local ingredients such as Tamba strawberries, Tentaki yuzu, and Tanjo no shio (birth salt).
We also recommend ice cream sandwiches, which are easy to enjoy, and canned sweets, which can be purchased from vending machines, as a companion while strolling around the hot spring town or touring the outdoor baths.
The original products are cute and pop
Kinosaki Onsen town is also known as a city of literature. There is a short story cafe called "Tanpen Kissa Un" in the hot spring town.
Short Story Cafe Un means "We want to start a place where book lovers can gather. The number 1 (in French, Un) is the beginning." In honor of the number "1," the cafe will open on November 11, 2021 at 11:11! There are about 3,000 books carefully selected to please customers. The recommended sweet here is the evolved sweet "Raw Butter Dorayaki." Enjoy it with a book in hand, a coffee in the cafe space, or as a gourmet food item while walking around Kinosaki, or as a takeaway.
The pop girl wearing a yukata who is the mascot of this shop was created by Baron Ueda. Original goods featuring this girl can only be purchased here.
Popular mascot Gen-san cookies
At the souvenir shop "Itaya" in front of Ichinoyu, there are many Toyooka City mascot "Gen-san" goods that can only be purchased here.
The most recommended item is the Gen-san sable! This sable features a very cute Gen-san face and is made using brown sugar and black sesame seeds, and even the color is just like Gen-san.
For those who love alcohol! Local beer
For those who love alcohol, Kinosaki's craft beer is perfect for a break from touring hot springs!
There are four types, each with a rich flavor and different characteristics. Among them, the "Snow Beer" is especially recommended, as it was developed through repeated tastings to match Kinosaki's winter crab. It's fun to try all four types and compare them.
The birthplace of hot spring tours in yukata and geta There are 7 public baths in Kinosaki Onsen town. Kinosaki Onsen can be compared to a large hot spring inn, with the station being the ``guiseki'', the roads being the ``corridors'', the inns being the ``guest rooms'', and the public baths being the ``public baths''. If you change into a yukata, relax, and go out on the town, you will become a character in this world.
