There are many "Umegae Mochi" on sale on the approach to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. Hmm? There are shops with the same name on both sides. This is "Kasanoya" Opposite is "Kasanoya" I'm sure many people have found this strange. This "Kasanoya" is a shop that mainly sells "natural products" as they call taiyaki. A shop staff member told me this just before closing time. The baker turns the mold by hand. He said, "We don't usually tell them because we want our long-time customers to avoid the lines." The products are the same. The shop is the same. Such is the difference between the Umegae Mochi shop "Kasanoya". Does it really taste the same? It would be interesting to check! #Fukuoka #FukuokaTourism #Dazaifu #DazaifuTenmangu Shrine #Gourmet #UmegaeMochi #FukuokaGourmet #FukuokaTrip
