🍽【Food Guide】 Amazake Tea House: Warming up travelers for a whole century Since its establishment in the early Edo period, it has been more than 400 years, and the 14th generation inheritor is still diligently making sweet sake in this mountain tea house. 📍Detailed address: 395-1 Futakoyama, Hatajaku, Hakone-cho, Ashigarashimo-gun, Kanagawa Prefecture 🚗Transportation strategy: Take the bus bound for Moto-Hakone from Hakone-Yumoto Station and get off at the "Amazake Chaya" stop 🕙Business hours: 7:00-17:30 🍽Recommended dishes: [Amazake] Amazake does not actually contain alcohol, nor does it contain sugar. Instead, it is made using the rice koji method to create a rich and slightly sweet drink, which is perfect for travelers to replenish their energy while resting. Since amazake has no additives and is made in a relatively simple way, it is similar to butter tea. So if you are not used to the taste of amazake, you may not find it delicious, but once you are used to it, it will become very addictive. [Rikumochi] The teahouse has three flavors of rikumochi, all grilled with Binchotan charcoal. There is the soy sauce flavor "Isob" wrapped in seaweed, the lightly sweet kinako "Uguisu", and the limited-edition "Kurogoma" flavor, which is a mixture of black sesame and kinako. Black sesame seeds are ground into fine powder, which is crispy and slightly sweet and very delicious. The soy sauce pancake is also very delicious, and paired with sweet sake, it is very delicious. 🖼Restaurant environment: This teahouse is located in the Hakone Pass, and it takes 7 winding roads to reach it from Hakone Yumoto. In ancient times, teahouses were places for travelers to relax, and this fragrant sweet sake has been passed down for more than 400 years. Until now, the menu still retains the original flavor of amazake and rikome, except for the addition of ice amazake and shaved ice in summer. There are also tatami seats in the store. Because it is located in the mountains, the heating of the teahouse depends entirely on burning wood on the tatami seats and the heater placed in the store. Although it is a bit cold in the store, such a tea house itself is really a very warm existence. During a tiring journey, it condenses into the warmest comfort in the hearts of travelers. 💰Average consumption per person: 50 yuan 🍜Restaurant total score: 4.5 points
