Kasasugi is a charming eatery and souvenir shop located near the entrance to the Omotesando path leading to Horaiji Temple in Shinshiro, Aichi Prefecture. It's a convenient stop for visitors exploring the temple and surrounding area. The establishment offers a variety of local crafts and goods, including the popular tiger 'Okiagari Koboshi' dolls also found at Toshogu Shrine, and handmade Kuruma-fu (wheat gluten). Diners can enjoy a casual meal, with the Miso Dengaku (miso-glazed tofu) being a standout dish. Note that the restaurant can get crowded, especially during peak seasons like the autumn foliage period. It's an ideal spot to grab a bite and pick up souvenirs while visiting Horaiji Temple.
