This talented bakery won first place in the Bread Marche Contest held in Nagoya in 2016.

Please take this opportunity to try it.

Chitty Chitty Bagel...A bagel specialty store made with domestic wheat and homemade yeast

A bakery in Anjo that specializes in bagels.

Chewy bagels with chicken, kinpira, etc.

It goes perfectly with a bagel sandwich.

It's more filling than it looks, so it's recommended for lunch.

Get it before it sells out.

Kokui FarmMr./Ms.... 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, soy milk, and more made exclusively with soybeans grown in Okui!

They will sell it to you.

We also recommend making amazake using rice koji from Okui.

Antenna Shop Kirari We handle products made at a welfare facility in Toyota City that caters to people with disabilities.

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

Among them, a large selection will be gathered.

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.

It is sold by a slightly shy person.

Tickets will be sold in the parking lot on the south side of Hidamari.

Cedar tree　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.

The massage is gentle so that your screams don't reach Ofukuichi.

Please give it a try.

andTakakoen ... All types of tea, including hand-picked matcha and hand-picked deep-steamed tea

In pursuit of delicious tea, we are particular about soil preparation using organic fertilizer.

We only sell tea that the owner is satisfied with.

This time

We can do this because we grow both matcha and deep-steamed tea.

You will enjoy the luxurious "deep-steamed tea with matcha."

The cafe menu also includes a set that is only available on the day.

Of course, you can also enjoy hand-picked matcha.

Stay tuned.
