Kondo Shiitake GardenShimoyama Shiitake Farm is a traditional mushroom farm that grows shiitake mushrooms on logs.

 

Shiitake mushrooms are delicious, whether fried or boiled.

Carrying logs is hard work, and many people quit.

Dashenka NaMr. Miss···A shop selling handmade bread made with natural yeast and baked in a stone oven

 

Dashenka is extremely busy after opening a new store at JR Takashimaya

Thanks to the TV broadcast, each store is still bustling with activity.

Ofukuichi may be a hidden gem. (There were a lot of people there last time too.)

 

I wonder if there will be any limited edition bread at Ofukuichi this time too... I'm excited!

 

 

 

 

Kokui Farm　We strive every day to produce safe, high-quality crops, and are particular about "delicious" food.

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 sell it. My child also loves tofu and natto.

 

 

Yuyu Kobo...A woodworking workshop in Toyota City.

 

Wooden toys and other wooden crafts will be on sale.

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.

"Please give us safe, wild-caught fish that haven't been fed farmed feed."

I always request this.

 

RelaxationSan...Antique and household goods store

Yutari is a shop in Toyota City that sells a variety of small items.

The space is a perfect fit for Ofukuichi.

Please take your time to watch.

 

Sugino-san...A reflexology massage shop in the Yoshiwara area.

You enter through the garden and receive a massage in a slightly secluded space.

A trial price only available at Ofukuichi.

Please relieve your daily fatigue.
