Located in the heart of Narai-juku, Kiso Narai-juku Kimura is a delightful spot to savor local flavors. This charming shop is known for its freshly made goheimochi, a regional specialty featuring rice cakes slathered in a rich walnut and sesame miso sauce. They also offer a variety of traditional sweets like mitarashi dango and potapota mochi, all made with carefully selected domestic rice flour. Enjoy your treats at the shop's benches while soaking in the historic atmosphere of this well-preserved post town. Be sure to arrive early, as their popular items often sell out by mid-afternoon.
