Well done,
They picked them carefully.

We all have tea and rice.
Hand-picked tea leaves before they become matcha.

Actually, Mr. Inabu from Acorn Village,
In order to protect the rice landscape of Inabu, we are working hard to take on Inabu's Mineasahi rice from farmers.
As abandoned farmland became a problem, we wanted to do something to help, and that's why we created Chaberin Dango.
Tea dumplings made with Inabu Mineasahi and Takakoen teas and natural water pumped up from underground.
Please take this opportunity.
Finch A Western confectionery shop in Inabu, Toyota City.

Enjoy it for lunch.

Dashenka brings a variety of different items every time.

Vegetables grown without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers.
They bring you fresh seasonal vegetables.
There are vegetables that you won't find in supermarkets,
It's fun to watch.
FishmongerThey bring you fresh fish.
In fact, it can be quite difficult to buy fish at Takakaen.
Even if the owner buys products labeled as wild, they won't eat them because "they smell like farmed feed."
When I was worried because I couldn't tell just by looking at it, a neighbor introduced me to
This fish shop.
My neighbors came from Sendai and had a hard time trying the fish here.
Apparently they met and were introduced to this fishmonger.
Since then, it has become easier for me to choose fish.
