The 11th event will be held on June 24th.,

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.

Kondo Shiitake Garden Mr. Miss....Shimoyama Shiitake Farm, which cultivates shiitake mushrooms using the traditional method of growing them on logs.

Shiitake mushrooms are delicious, whether fried or boiled.

Many customers look forward to receiving the logs of shiitake mushrooms.

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.

The season for chilled tofu is almost here.

Enjoy it for lunch.

Dashenka Na　San...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.

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.

Blue　San... cloth napkin store

A shop that sells cloth napkins made from organic cotton and gauze.

They will give advice to girls about their problems.

In addition to cloth napkins, we also have bras and loose-fitting underwear.

It is especially recommended for summer as it is comfortable and keeps you dry on the skin.

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.

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.

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 will be enjoying cold-brewed "Fukamushicha" tea, perfect for summer.

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

Hand massager Maru was scheduled to exhibit this time, but was forced to cancel due to hospitalization.

I'm sorry.

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

Cafe menus and more available only on the day.

We got off to a good start.

My daughter, an elementary school student,

I joined from 7:30am.

Today is a substitute holiday, so

I'm excited.

Tea picking will continue for about a month from today until the end of May.

For a while, we'll be picking sencha tea leaves.
