March 13: Soy sauce,   by Mie
We came back to Tatsuno after driving along the coast. We will take a late lunch of famous noodle "Ibo-no-Ito."
A new noodle restaurant was opened in front of Tatsuno railroad station. We took hot noodle prepared directly by the manufacturer. The taste was marvelous.
An old soy brewery Kanei sits quietly along the Ibo River. The brewery is open to public for sightseeing and dates back to early Meiji era.

Red brick stack is a symbol of the brewery.
   
White plastered wall, black board skirt, storage house built in the foundation days, all have a history spanning over 130 years. On the right is a huge cask. What beautiful and simple the old cask is!

In front of the brewery is a small bookshop called Fushimiya. The shop has an unusual corridor in the mezzanine with a skylight.

A community hall with Hina Dolls and peach flower arrangement inside. Unfortunately, the hall is closed today.
My favorite old street that reflects good old days of a castle town. The number of tourist is increasing as well.

I love Tatsuno very much and hope to have good atmosphere forever.

Seasonal dish of Ikanago fish.
Sweet boiled down Ikanago called Kugi-ni after its shape like a bent nail. The taste is booming recently, they say.

I could enjoy one day of Tatsuno.
