# Taneya Himure-no-ya

Places we stopped along the way　/　Omihachiman, Shiga

Taneya's confectionery beside Himure Hachimangu Shrine, in a Japanese-style house with a kamado stove and a sunken hearth. I ate freshly baked tsubura mochi, small rice cakes filled with bean paste; the adzuki tea was complimentary.

## This moment in the journey: Freshly baked tsubura mochi

Next, a Japanese confectionery on the approach to Himure Hachimangu Shrine. Under a wooden sign, benches draped in red felt run the length of the long eaves. Tsubura mochi, baked fresh and sold only here, are small round rice cakes filled with sweet bean paste, crisp and fragrant on the outside.

I sat in a tatami room with a sunken hearth, steam rising from the kamado stove nearby, and picked at three mochi served in a boat-shaped dish. The complimentary adzuki tea went well with their gentle sweetness.
