Healthy crops grown like our own children are unique.

Domestically produced soybeans are a precious crop, accounting for less than 5% of the total.

What's more, we offer tofu, natto, miso, and other items made exclusively with soybeans grown in Okui!

They will sell it to you.

You can also find new products such as bean snacks.

A variety of handmade foods, sweets, and miscellaneous goods made with quality ingredients and with love.

I'm looking forward to seeing a different selection than last month.

However, depending on the area you stimulate, it may still hurt.

If you don't like extreme pain, try this out.

Fishmonger・They 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.

The current person in charge is a shy guy.

Please talk to me.
