There will also be a farm-fresh corner selling fresh vegetables from around the prefecture, as well as local specialty product fairs and other events.

Gomaibashi Winery

Gomaibashi Winery is located in Iwate, which is known for its apple production, and makes wine using apples. Through thorough fruit selection, you can enjoy a very clear apple taste. In addition to apple wine, they carry dozens of wines from Austria, which is where they learned winemaking and is the origin of their own winemaking. In addition, you can sample apple wine in the store, and we also suggest compatibility between wine and food.

Nanbu Ironware (Morioka)

Nanbu ironware, which has a wide variety of types and uses, from stately tea kettles, iron kettles, and modern pots to accessories such as wind chimes, is a representative traditional craft of Iwate. The area around Morioka has long been rich in raw materials for iron sand, river sand, clay, lacquer, and charcoal, making it ideal for producing castings. It is said that Nanbu ironware began when the lord of the Nanbu domain hired casters and pot makers from Koshu and Kyoto to make tea ceremony pots, weapons, temple bells, and other items. Since the Meiji era, Nanbu ironware has received high praise overseas, and in 1975, Nanbu ironware was designated as the first traditional craft in Japan.
