    The current president of the association was inspired to start manufacturing the cheese after traveling alone around the country and seeing a cheese feast at a certain church. In 1972, we began producing cheese on our own, and in 1990, we began full-scale production with the establishment of the Osako Cheese Processing and Production Association. This authentic handmade cheese is made using raw Brown Swiss milk, and was even featured as an ingredient on a cooking program on a commercial TV station. It is mainly sold in the town and neighboring municipalities. It is also possible to order online.

    Narushima Washi

    It is said that the production of washi paper began in Towa Town before the first year of Kanbun, and during the feudal period, it was used as official paper for the Nanbu domain. Until just after the end of the war, several houses in the Narushima area were producing washi paper, but with the spread of mass-produced Western paper, the demand for washi declined, and now it is only produced at the Washi Crafts Museum. Narushima washi paper is made by hand, one by one, using mulberry and mitsumata as raw materials, and is well known as Japan's northernmost washi paper.

    Kinkonzuke

    One theory is that in this region, it is an important preserved food that is pickled in homemade miso, and the older it gets, the more flavor it gets, so it was named ``Konkonzuke'' after the Golden Wedding. Carrots and kelp rolls are tightly packed inside the gourd hole, and when you slice them into rounds, the carrots' colors come out brightly.
