It's a tomato with concentrated flavor.

The "Golden Red Tomatoes" are so tasty that children crave them as a snack.

Canon Coffee - a coffee shop in Miyoshi City

We use ginger grown in Toyota City to make various processed ginger products, including "Ultra Ginger Powder."

This is the kind of ginger you'll want to get your hands on as the weather gets colder.

The children requested to buy chopped ginger.

It's surprising that not only adults but also children can eat it.

It's also delicious eaten on rice.

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

Shiitake mushrooms grown on logs are a must-try in autumn.

Shiitake mushrooms grown on logs are delicious, as expected.

We also recommend the large nametake mushrooms, which sold out quickly last time.

I wonder if I can buy it this time.

Macchupan: A bakery that uses domestic wheat and natural yeast

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 have many repeat customers for our miso.

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.

Please give it a try.
