This post kicks off a new blog category named “Shiga Food & Gifts.” I’ll be trying Shiga’s food, beverages, and other products.
Finally did a taste test of Koka Cola vs. Coca-Cola. Taste is almost identical. (Ingredients in both are almost identical.) But Coca-Cola is fizzier. Biggest difference is the price: ¥225 vs. ¥75. Koka Cola is made in Koka w/permission of Coca-Cola. #甲賀コーラ #滋賀酒造株式会社 pic.twitter.com/RLZJtjBlOu

Funazushi-flavored potato chips will go on sale from Nov. 13 in the Kinki Region. They look like regular chips, but with a fishy taste. 魚の味はするけど、鮒ずしではないな。守山市にあるモンレーブの「ふなずしパイ」の方がいい。CocoShigaで売って欲しい。話題性のある「甲賀コーラ」も。 pic.twitter.com/pCnb07IeGC

Monreve bakery in Moriyama is famous for Funazushi Pie, a cookie made with funazushi fermented Biwako carp. Love it! https://t.co/dgWbGw8v8r pic.twitter.com/0aaWmnbwpM

守山駅の近くにある洋菓子店モンレーブのふなずしパイ（10枚入り¥1250）。商品開発に苦労されたそうですが、さすがのヒット商品。うなぎパイと連想して甘そうと思いがちけど、全く甘くない。 鮒寿司の独特な匂いも味も見事に取り入れている。本物の鮒寿司が苦手の方にはこれがいい。#滋賀名物 pic.twitter.com/OtxcFvjLPn

Tasted Shiga’s famous Salad Roll #サラダパン for the 1st time. Basically a hot dog bun with mayonnaise and small slices of takuan pickled radish. pic.twitter.com/2TCZvoy2WT

初めてサラダパンを食べました（木之本のつるやパンより）。なんか戦後の昭和時代っぽいな懐かしい味でした。素朴な作りで誰でも同じもんが作れそう。こんなもんで人気・有名になるなんてちょっと驚きました。外国人にもオススメできるかどうかはちょっと微妙です。 pic.twitter.com/SrqATDPmU6

Made my first Lake Biwa pearl brooch at a workshop conducted by Otsu-based Jinbo Pearls this past weekend in Shibuya, Tokyo. That was fun! pic.twitter.com/ELk4cbT1Gq
