往寶登山神社走的路途上,會看到幾間掛著「天然冰 阿佐美冷藏」的店,這間店位在小坡上的古宅中,需要走一小段樓梯(10出頭階),感覺是自己家經營的。 店內空間寬敞、明亮,整體感覺溫暖且溫馨,非常在地(日式)的內裝與擺飾,店內有不同的小區域,如合式、沙發、落地窗旁,戶外有洋傘的用餐區,門口的層架也展示著手作的杯子、小擺件、飾品等等。

長瀞散策中にたまたま立ち寄りました。 かき氷が食べたかったのですが、わらび餅が美味しそうだったのでそちらを注文。ぷるぷるで柔らかいわらび餅、絶品でした!冷たい抹茶とも良く合いました。長瀞に来ることがあればまたぜひ寄りたいです。連れのかき氷もとてもおいしかったそうです。(氷が良いせいなのか頭がキーンとしない!と驚いていました)

長瀞のギャラリー喫茶やましたさんで、かき氷とわらび餅をいただきました。 かき氷はマンゴーを選びましたが、果肉の甘さが感じられてとても美味しかったです。 わらび餅も柔らかくてきなこの風味がしっかりしており、丁寧に作られている印象でした。 店内は落ち着いた雰囲気で、観光の合間にひと休みするのにちょうど良いお店です。 特別感のある豪華さというよりは、安心して楽しめる素朴な美味しさで、また機会があれば立ち寄りたいと思います。
