Sato Gyokumodo, established in 1831, is a traditional confectionery shop located in the historic Yakage town, a former post town on the old Sanyo Road in Okayama Prefecture. Known for its Yubeshi, a type of mochi infused with yuzu citrus, the shop offers a taste of local history and flavors. It's said that Princess Atsuhime, on her way to marry Tokugawa Iesada, purchased Yubeshi from this shop as a souvenir. Visit to experience the refined flavors of traditional Japanese sweets in a charming, historical setting. Best enjoyed during the afternoon for a relaxing break.
