Yama no Ie OISHI (Mountain house "OISHI")
A particular product of this area is a hemp palm goods. As a birthplace of a hemp palm scourer, Kainan-Kaiso area (Kainan City, Nokami Town, Misato Town) is nationally famous for the production of palm products like brooms and ropes. The key chain with a small broom made by palm is popular among the tourists. You know, this small broom is really useful for cleaning up the dashboard of your car!
A Handmade Miso (soybean paste) and Handmade Kinzanji Miso (soybean paste with vegitables) produced by neighboring housewives are in the lines of best sellers. These Misos with no additives are well bought by the people living in neighbors for their daily meal. It means that the item is well balanced in its price and quality.
If you are a health conscious person, I will strongly recommend the "Terao Bokujo no Gyunyu" or "Terao Farm Milk". Sterilized at low temperature for keeping the fresh flavor, this milk is supreme in the taste and nutrition. "Yama no Ie OISHI" is an only place where you can buy this milk everyday.
And , ladies and gentlemen, you will see the last performer of this corner, the name of this confectionery is "OISHI Sugiru".
When you are not familiar with the Japanese language, I am afraid that you may not understand the meaning of this rhetric. At first glance, you will think that "OISHI" is a name of the mountain and "sugiru" is a name of the cake. However, after repeating the name by yourself, you will suddenly find that the name means a Japanese word "Oishisugiru", literally, "too delicious". Please check the taste at "Yama no Ie OISHI".
