Reviews
I went after 1pm on a public holiday!
The store was quite crowded.
There were sandwiches and omelet rice at the back of the store.
I bought a sandwich for lunch.
It was a product from the coffee shop across the street from here.
It was the perfect sandwich for a small stomach!
They sold a lot of local vegetables and fish.
There were a lot of horse mackerel lined up, and they seemed to be quite fresh.
There is also a rest area next door.
There was a variety of fresh fish and vegetables.
We sell local vegetables. And it's cheap!
The homemade snacks such as manju and oyaki were very delicious, but be careful as they may be sold out by the evening.
Also, there is a large ``calendar garden'' in the back. Worth a look.
This soft serve ice cream is
It's smooth and very delicious.
Vegetables, side dishes, bread, etc. are also on sale.
It's my favorite place.
Vegetables, bento boxes, light meals such as omelet rice and okonomiyaki, fish (fresh!), etc.
Although the exterior and signage are simple, it seems to be quite popular among locals, and many people visited the store as soon as it opened.
I shouldn't miss this place, but I've passed by it many times in the past. (I did not notice)
I come here often in the summer! We have plenty of fish, vegetables, dried foods, and more! The soft serve ice cream is also delicious.
I always eat it! There is also a lotus field in the back, which is beautiful.
It's located on the lower path from Meoto Iwa to Toba, and the atmosphere was nice, so I couldn't resist stopping by. It looks like a roadside station, where local vegetables and fish are sold.
The store has a nice atmosphere and seems to play a role as a community salon for locals. It was a hot day, so I bought a mango soft serve. The relaxing taste cooled down my hot body.
I come here often with my family because it's nearby.
The weather is nice today, so I went to eat some soft serve ice cream.
Then I came to see hydrangeas and irises.
There is a walking path behind Minwa Station where you can enjoy a relaxing time.
At Minwa-no-Eki you can buy fresh seafood caught by local fishermen at a low price, so I come here to buy fish when there's an event going on.
