Eating around Nara Town: Daibutsu strawberries and mugwort rice cakes

On the way to Nara Station, you will find Nakatanido and Daibutsu Ichigo. Daibutsu Ichigo is a shop that sells sweets that are even cuter than you would imagine from its name. They sell strawberry daifuku at the front of the store, and shaved ice and juice at the back. There were several types and sizes of strawberry daifuku, but I ordered a BIG strawberry daifuku made with Kotoka strawberries for 350 yen each. Kotoka strawberries are said to be the sweetest in Japan! As they are the sweetest in Japan, they were just as sweet as the daifuku's bean paste, and I enjoyed them to the last bite. The deer cookie on top was also delicious! To be honest, I wasn't expecting much, but I was surprised after one bite! They also sold cookies by themselves, so I couldn't help but buy one. Nakatanido is a famous shop that sells traditional rice cakes. Depending on the time, you can also see a rice cake pounding demonstration! The only thing on the menu is mugwort rice cakes, but there are always people who buy 10 or 20 of them! When I tried it, the freshly pounded mochi was soft and fluffy, and the gentle flavor of the bean paste and mugwort made it very delicious.
