The 14th event will be held on November 25th.,

Dolce Vita San...An Italian restaurant in Toyota City.

They sell pudding made with specially selected eggs, roasted green tea blancmange, and more.

In addition to using locally produced ingredients, the food is handmade using a wide range of carefully selected ingredients.

A dessert that brings out the flavor of the ingredients.

He said, "I want my customers to be happy." I agree.

There are already pre-orders available.

Get it before it sells out.

Kokui FarmWe strive every day to produce safe, high-quality produce, and are particular about "delicious."

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.

Stay tuned.

Antenna Shop Kirari ...at a welfare facility in Toyota City for people with disabilities.

We handle manufactured products.

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

Among them, a large selection will be gathered.

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

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 FarmWe strive every day to produce safe, high-quality produce, and are particular about "delicious."

Healthy crops grown like our own children are unique.

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

Dashenka NaSan...a shop that sells handmade bread made with natural yeast and baked in a stone oven

Dashenka brings a variety of different items every time.

Ofukuichi is a hidden gem, with exclusive breads and new products available.

Last time, there was a flat rate and some great value bread.

Every time, there are special deals on bread that you can't miss out on.

What's today's recommended bread? Just ask.

I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of bread will be available this time.

Tokuhachi Farm Mr./Ms.... He grows vegetables in the Asuke area.

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.

Relax with a hand massage.

Mar has customers lining up without a break.

This time, the customers are eagerly awaiting a hand massage.

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.

If I screamed, "Ahhh, it hurts!", the peaceful atmosphere would be ruined.

At Ofukuichi, they give you a massage that is fairly relaxed.

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.

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.

It's the season when we start to miss hot tea,

You can relax and enjoy some hot tea.

Enjoy the deep flavor of hand-picked tea, made with meticulous attention to detail.

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

There will be a limited-time cafe menu available on the day.
