[Niigata] Feel the atmosphere on Makino-dori

#0yentravelJanuary2025 🏯Japanese sweets and cafe latte on Makino-dori in Niigata☕️✨ "Makino-dori" in Shiozawa, Niigata, is a charming street that recreates the streetscape of the Edo period, where you can feel the atmosphere of a snow country🏯✨Just walking through the street lined with white walls and lattice doors makes you feel like you've traveled back in time🚶♂️ The specialty manju that we had at a Japanese sweets shop we stopped by during our stroll was exquisite, with a fluffy skin and plenty of lightly sweet bean paste😋🍵The simple taste of the local ingredients somehow reminded me of nostalgia. ✨ Furthermore, I ordered a cafe latte at a stylish cafe ☕️ The balance of the slightly bitter espresso and creamy milk is exquisite, and it goes perfectly with Japanese sweets 🥮🧡 It's a blissful moment to take a relaxing break in a store where you can feel the warmth of wood 💭 Walking leisurely while looking at the historic townscape, the scenery is picturesque no matter where you look 📸⛄️ Why not spend a peaceful time immersed in the charm of Japan on Makino-dori, where you can enjoy the atmosphere of the four seasons ✨
