Ichirikimochi

I ‘m a fan of this Japanese sweets café. While I paid frequent visits to this café, I become a regular customer and have been on good terms with the wife and the grandmother of the owner. Whenever I come here, I am charged with energy from them.
Yesterday I came here with my husband. It was also a chilly day. I would like to warm my body and ordered Zenzai. He chose «Shiruko». Do you know the difference between Zenzai and Shiruko? Both are also hot sweet red bean paste soup with a sticky rice cake in it. In Zenzai red beans are not strained, while in Shiruko they are strained. I like Zenzai, on the meanwhile my husband likes Shiruko.
In this café rice cakes are also home-​made. Very sticky. And the taste of sweet red beans is very nice! Small pieces of kelps are also added.
There are a lot of magazines. After I ate it, I was absorbed in weekly magazines. So my husband hurried me to go out, as we had to go shopping in a supermarket. There are no parking lots in this café. So we parked our car at the parking lot of the supermarket nearby. But within 90 minutes it is for free if you purchase something at the supermarket. Beyond 90 minutes, you have to pay additionally.
We bought sticky rice with wild vegetables, which is also tastier. At dinner we enjoyed it.
Tips: Daifuku (sticky rice cake with sweet red beans paste) with fresh cream is advisable. It was introduced in a radio program. To tell the truth, its recommender was me! But it is sold only in winter.
