Popular bread made with rice flour
"Mam's"

The popular bakery "Mam's" is always filled with customers. Starting with rice flour bread, there are breads made with carefully selected ingredients such as domestically produced wheat, millet sugar, beet sugar, and mineral salt.

"Kokuto France (320 yen)" using rice flour is said to be the most popular item. The soft and sweet scent of brown sugar with green beans and walnuts, and the chewy texture are delicious!

This is also a popular loaf of bread made with domestic yuda. It has a chewy and addictive texture.

In addition, the "Special Sandwich (550 yen)", which takes time and effort to prepare from the night before, uses free-range eggs that are raised by natural farming methods for 70 yen each on a loaf of bread that uses domestic wheat. The chicken breast marinated in shio-koji (salted rice malt) and horseradish is sandwiched between them, giving it a heavy and satisfying texture.

Rice flour focaccia + dessert ¥550 + drink (organic coffee) ¥950

There are also plenty of set menus for eat-in. The photo is "rice flour focaccia + dessert".

The focaccia is made by kneading brown rice and white rice cooked with “organic reduced pesticide rice” into a dough made with rice flour, giving it a chewy texture!

A world of fantastic lights spreads out
"Mino Washi Akari Art Museum"

Once a year, an exhibition of light art using Mino washi paper is held in Udatsu-style Houses.
During this period, the entire town takes on a magical atmosphere.

The Akari Art Exhibition is only available for a limited time, but you can still see it throughout the year at the Mino Washi Akari Art Museum.

On the 1st floor, lamps and sundries that can be purchased are displayed.

The second floor is a floor that creates the atmosphere of the Akari Art Exhibition. Every year, 300 to 400 works of art using Mino Washi are submitted for this exhibition, and there are a variety of unique works from elementary school students to the general public.

The fish on the right is a work by a first-year junior high school student representing a red sea bream. The scales, skin, and even the jagged teeth of the fish are delicate and realistic!

A work representing a peach. The net that wraps the peach is also reproduced with Japanese paper.

In the exhibition room, you will be amazed that these are made of Washi paper! You will be surprised to see them all! The watermark, one of the characteristics of washi, is enhanced by the light passing through it. The works, which are made with attention to detail, are truly delicate, and you can fully appreciate the charm of washi in this space.

By the way, you can get a discount if you buy a joint ticket with the Former Imai House! It's a 2-minute walk from the Former Imai House, so be sure to take a look around as well.

Take a leisurely stroll while feeling the history!

Udatsu-style Houses can be fully enjoyed in half a day.

We also recommend going a little further and taking a walk along the Nagara River. It is a spot where you can feel the original scenery of Japan during the cherry blossom and autumn leaves seasons, so if you have the chance, please enjoy a walk.
