You can enjoy "Kuromitsudango", which is popular in Ise, as well as "Mitarashidango", which is widely accepted. The combination of the hand-baked and fragrant dango and the original sauce is excellent. It's cheap and delicious, so I recommend it.

Akafuku mochi can be eaten at the main store, as well as at the directly managed stores in Ise and Futami, and at the Nagoya department store (2 stores). It is said that eating it with chopsticks is a relic from the time when mochi was a meal. The unique shape of Akafuku mochi represents the murmuring of the Isuzu River that flows through the grounds of Ise Shrine, the three stripes on the bean paste represent the clear water, and the white mochi represents the pebbles on the riverbed. It tastes even better when eaten with Akafuku's original roasted green tea. I ate some at the store and bought some Akafuku as a souvenir for myself.

#Travelwithme When Akafuku's zenzai turns into ice, I feel like summer is coming. There are several places where you can eat Akafuku ice near Ise Shrine, but here are some recommendations. Okage Yokocho Dangoro Chaya Since COVID ended, Ise has really become more crowded. Akafuku is also really crowded. Dangoro Chaya is a little less crowded, so I recommend it. It's nice to be able to eat soba, rice balls, and beef skewers. Another difference from Akafuku is that there are more varieties of shaved ice than just Akafuku ice. Oharaimachi is a fun place to go for a snack. It's convenient when you don't want to eat a full meal at a restaurant... but you still want to eat rice. 📌Okage Yokocho Dangoro Chaya 〒514-8558 52 Nakanokiri-cho, Uji, Ise City, Mie Prefecture (inside Okage Yokocho) -𝙊𝙋𝙀𝙉- May 2024 Weekdays 10:00-17:30 (LO 17:00) Weekends 10:00-18:00 (LO 17:30) Varies depending on the season Open all year round ⚠︎Although it is a branch of Akafuku, you cannot eat "regular Akafuku" Please note that the cash registers are different for shaved ice, soba rice balls, and beef skewers (you can sit anywhere) Please check the latest information when you go out ꒰ঌ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈໒꒱ Thank you for reading to the end Like!

If you go to the Inner Shrine of Ise Grand Shrine, we recommend eating locally caught seafood in Okage Yokocho and having tea at a Starbucks with a Japanese atmosphere. The grilled shellfish is grilled on the spot and served with a little soy sauce, and it has a rich flavor and a strong umami taste that is really delicious. It costs 250 yen per piece, but I think it would cost twice as much if you had it in Tokyo. #SupportTourism #TripToMie #Gourmet #GourmetTrip #CoupleTrip #Gourmet #IseGrandShrineInnerShrine #OkageYokochoGourmet

After visiting Ise Shrine, I went to Okage Yokocho and drank from lunch time😊 Drinking with friends is really delicious🍶 Okage Yokocho has a lot of craft beer and sake that are unique to Mie Prefecture💕 In particular, the "Sake Tasting" event offers Zaku and nigori sake, which are similar to amazake✨ Sake is also good for your skin, so it's great that you don't feel guilty about it☺️lol The further you go in Okage Yokocho, the more reasonable the prices become and the less crowded the shops are, so I recommend a place a little off the beaten path! 🍶🍺Okage Yokocho 〒516-8558 52 Uji Nakanokiricho, Ise City, Mie Prefecture Opening hours 9:30-17:00 #Breathtaking views #Mie Prefecture #Okage Yokocho #Mie sightseeing #Mie trip #Ise trip #Japanese sake #Local sake #Girls trip #Girls who love to travel

Arrived for the second time and loved it. It’s lively and crowded, but it’s not like internationally famous restaurants such as Tokyo’s Asakusa and Kyoto’s Kiyomizu Temple because 80% of the visitors are local people. This is the ーおかげyokocho of Ise Inner Palace There are many commodity shops selling tea, groceries, draft beer, meat, souvenirs, and food. There are lottery draws and shooting in the play area. Specially recommend the Matsusaka beef skewers and croquettes. There are several shops selling croquettes. We even bought some and went back to the B&B to fry them ourselves. Our family arrived on a self-driving tour and stayed for more than an hour. We only left during lunch time. Our group members thought we didn’t have enough fun. It is a very worthwhile attraction. Note: From the perspective of international tourists, in addition to Nagoya or Kansai, it is more time-saving to drive there by yourself. This needs to be noted.

Yakuyoke-machi is a shopping street about 800 meters long located in front of the entrance to the Inner Shrine of Ise Jingu. The most bustling part of Yakuyoke-machi is the central area of Okage Yokocho. Formerly known as Ise Road, it was laid out for the convenience of worshippers visiting Ise Jingu. Since ancient times, Yakuyoke-machi has prospered due to Ise Jingu, and since the Edo period, countless devotees have come to visit every year. At that time, people known as 'Onshi' would exorcise evil spirits from travelers or perform Kagura dances here. The name Yakuyoke-machi comes from this tradition. After many years of relocation and reconstruction, Yakuyoke-machi was completed in 1993, recreating the Ise Road of the Edo period. The 800-meter-long road is flanked by traditional wooden buildings such as Kirizuma, Irimoya, and Tsuma-iri, and the antique streetscape takes you back to the Edo period. The most lively Okage Yokocho recreates the atmosphere of the Ise Festival from the late Edo period, with regular Taiko drum performances and Kamishibai, traditional Japanese storytelling. There's also a nostalgic toy shop and Japan's smallest brewery, offering a condensed version of life scenes from the Edo period. Along the road, shops are lined up offering food, fun, and shopping all in one, making it one of Japan's most famous snack streets. Besides Akafuku rice cakes, Akafuku ice, and Kaeru Manju, there are also local delicacies such as Ise lobster, creating an amusement park-like atmosphere that both adults and children can enjoy.

I felt in love of this place.❤️ "Okage Yokocho, Ise Naiku Mae - おかげ横丁" In Japanese, the word okage means thankfulness and yokocho means a kind of side street. I had visited Ise Jingu twice. The most recommended before you visit the shrine. You can enjoy eating and shopping also enjoy the beautiful surroundings of "Japanese Edo period" on this street. #tomifamtrip #familytrip2024

“Matsusaka beef” is one of the most famous types of beef in Japan. It is beef from cattle raised in Matsusaka City, Mie Prefecture. Matsusaka beef is recognized as one of the three highest quality beefs in Japan, along with Kobe beef from Hyogo Prefecture and Omi beef from Shiga Prefecture. There are many shops selling Matsusaka beef on Okage Yokocho, the old street, but the one we will introduce today is “Ise Ushiwakamaru”, a Matsusaka beef sushi shop located just across the street from the entrance to Ise Jingu Shrine. Ise Ushiwakamaru is a restaurant that serves sushi on sembei sheets instead of plates. Customers can finish the last bite, which is delicious and gives them cool photos to post on social media. The taste is also good. Matsusaka beef is seared to perfection, and a little wasabi is added to make it melt in your mouth when eaten with sushi rice. The sushi has 2 types of Matsusaka beef to choose from: Round (1,200 yen) and Sirloin (1,600 yen). Both types are served as a set on a sembei sheet, 2 pieces per set. You can choose the doneness of the meat. Ise Ushiwakamaru is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Closed every Monday. Every day, there will be customers waiting even before the shop opens. If you don't want to wait in a long line, we recommend going in the afternoon. The line will not be as long as in the morning. 📍 Location of Ise Ushiwakamaru: Located in the old Okage Yokocho street in front of Ise Shrine #Travelwithtrip2024 #MatsusakaBeefSushi #beefnigirisushi #Matsusakaushi #DeliciousBeefInJapan #JapaneseGrilledBeef #IseDeliciousFood #MieTravel #OkageYokocho #IseMie #TravelJapan

We went to Hai Lao Pill in okage yokocho for lunch. Finally, you can have a good time. The Ise Lobster of Hailao Pill is called the treasure of the sea. The annual peak season is from October to January, so now try the veritable seasonal seafood. Ise lobster's meat is firm and sweet, and puripuri's bullets are addictive and have been loved by Japanese people since ancient times. Whether it is a sashimi and boiled cooking that preserves the savory taste of the shrimp itself, or a grilled cooking with aroma, you can taste the delicious taste of Ise lobster. Unlike the Australian lobster, Ise lobster is not too big, so it is more precious. At Hai Lao Pill, everyone can choose seafood according to their appetite and then process it. Here I saw the most authentic lobster sashimi. When I served, the lobster eyes were still moving... PS: We ordered a whole set of seafood sashimi rice bowl, meaty rice bowl made of fish, lobster tekone sushi and Sashimi platter
