Pickles Gakkura no Sato

This pickled radish is called ``Gakkurazuke'' because of the way it is cut off with a machete. These handmade pickles are painstakingly made by local mothers using Japanese radish grown in Kawai, Miyako City. There are normal types that bring out the flavors of kimchi, shiso plum vinegar, and sukikonbu.

Roadside station “Yamabikokan”

The ``Roadside Station'' Yamabiko-kan has a direct-from-the-farm corner selling local specialties, a restaurant called ``Momo-tei'' that serves menus made with local ingredients, a local food corner, and specialties not only from the local area but also from the surrounding area. It is a hub for a wide range of food, including a corner where food is sold. In addition, at the adjacent farm direct store, fresh vegetables and seasonal wild vegetables delivered daily by local farmers are popular.

cute perilla

The perilla juice "Kawai Perilla" is made by blending the extract of one-sided perilla (the top of the leaf is blue and the bottom is red), which is a specialty of the Kawai region of Miyako City, with pure honey harvested at the foot of Mt. Hayachine, making it a healthy product that does not use any coloring agents. Single-sided perilla has a good color and aroma, and contains a lot of iron and vitamins, so it is said to be good for people with anemia, sensitivity to cold, and allergies.
