静岡のおやつは駄菓子とおでん

吾作商店

駿府の工房匠宿の隣には、今では数少なくなった駄菓子屋が佇んでいます。昭和の昔から静岡の子どもたちは駄菓子屋さんでおでんを食べていました。ここでは、昔ながらのおやつ時間が楽しめます。

吾作商店の店内には年代物のポスターや懐かしい看板に彩られてレトロ感たっぷり。開店以来だしを継ぎ足してきたおでん鍋からいい香りが漂います。静岡おでんの代表・黒はんぺんや、なると、たまごや牛すじなど、10種類以上の具材から１串ずつ選んで店内で味わえます。だし粉と呼ばれる削り節の粉や青のりをたっぷりかけていただくのが静岡おでんの定番。吾作商店オリジナルのわさびご飯とおでんのセットもおすすめです。オクシズと呼ばれる静岡市北部の特産わさびをすりおろしたさわやかなご飯がおでんとよく合います。

おでんはテイクアウトもできます。地元のご家族が自宅から鍋を持ってきてまとめ買いすることも。

Get a taste of Shizuoka’s local flavors—Shizuoka Oden and Wasabi Rice, made with the region’s prized wasabi from the northern mountains. Step inside and you’ll also find a nostalgic selection of dagashi, the classic Japanese candies and sweets that have delighted children since the postwar era.

Simmered to perfection, oden is a beloved Japanese soul food featuring fish cakes, eggs, beef tendon, and other ingredients slow-cooked in a flavorful broth. While most enjoy it with drinks at izakayas, in Shizuoka, oden has long been a childhood favorite at neighborhood dagashi shops too. After school, kids would rush in, clutching their pocket money, picking their favorite simmered treats straight from the pot—a familiar scene that once defined Shizuoka, but has now become a rare sight.

For under just 100 yen, you can take home a handful of dagashi, from long-selling classics dating back to the Showa era to more recent favorites. Unlike modern convenience store snacks, these treats have a simple, nostalgic charm that has delighted generations. Why not bring some home as a unique souvenir?

100円でおつりが来る駄菓子は、昭和から続くロングセラーから比較的最近の人気商品まで、幅広い年代の方に親しまれています。ラムネやコーラなど瓶のジュースに、スーパーボールくじやなめ猫カードなどお楽しみもいろいろ。遊びながら静岡の古き良き駄菓子屋さん文化を感じてください。

Gosaku opened in 2023 in hopes of keeping Shizuoka’s rare and fading dagashi shop culture alive. Inside, retro posters and signs from decades past pull on your nostalgia strings, recreating the atmosphere of a bygone era. The shop even features shateki (a classic Japanese festival shooting game) and vintage arcade games from the 1970s.

The shop’s signature dish is a set of Wasabi Rice and Shizuoka Oden. Freshly grated wasabi, carefully cultivated in the mountain valleys north of Shizuoka City, is served over rice with a topping of bonito flakes—perfectly complementing the rich flavors of oden.
