SNOW COUNTRY Honey:
This is a multifloral honey from the snowy region of Echigo Yuzawa. Beekeeping in the snow country is extremely challenging, making this “raw honey” very precious. Production is limited, and this premium honey is sold exclusively at only three stores, including ours.

Minami Uonuma Koshihikari:
It is said that the Koshihikari rice marketed as Uonuma produce is more than ten times the actual production, meaning most of it is counterfeit. Our establishment has been dealing directly with local farmers for many years, ensuring we offer 100% authentic Minami Uonuma Koshihikari rice (produced in the Shiozawa Nishiyama area) in our meals and for sale in our shop. While the price may seem high, we confidently offer this genuine product at a great value. Prices start from 900 yen per kilogram, with up to 30 kilograms available for purchase.
