Various soy sauces are sold at the shop, including the highest gold medal-winning "Yuasa Shoyu Nama Ippon Kuromame Soy Sauce," the winter-only "Nama Soy Sauce," and "Curry Soy Sauce," and samples are available.

At Akizuno Garten in the old school building
Experience using mandarin oranges
Experience making sweets using mandarin oranges at a closed elementary school.
Why not enter the old school building and feel nostalgic while learning about the roots of mandarin orange cultivation?
Akizuno Garten was established in 2008 after renovating a closed elementary school as a "green tourism facility aiming to promote interaction between the city and the local area." It houses a sweets workshop, an experience building that makes use of the old wooden school building, and a mikan museum that unravels the history of mikan cultivation in the region.
The Farmhouse Restaurant, which serves a slow food buffet using local ingredients prepared by local mothers, is very popular with both tourists and locals.
Visiting this place brings back memories of the nostalgic and relaxed Showa era.
