📜 Restaurant Details
The traditional wagashi shop "Sakaneya," which opened in 1872, operates a tea house located right in front of the main gate of Izumo Taisha, on the "Goyen Yokocho" street that gathers many local delicacies. The shop's signature dish is the Izumo red bean soup. The red beans are cooked with sugar to create a sweet soup, topped with mochi. This quintessential Japanese dessert, red bean soup, is said to have originated from the Izumo region.
The Daifuku red beans sourced from local contracted farms are of superior quality in terms of flavor, size, and thin skin. The ingredients, including the glutinous rice flour made from glutinous rice from Okuizumo Town, are all carefully selected top-quality items. Even the sea salt used to enhance the sweet red bean soup is a rare salt produced in the Uraumi area near Izumo Taisha.
In addition, they offer seasonal dishes such as "Red Bean Ice" for summer refreshment, and the grilled mochi-style wagashi "Izumo Kamitsukuri Mochi," made with the same ingredients as the Izumo red bean soup, is also a popular souvenir item.
