Next, we will visit the Minamikawa area, where the popular product "Natural Yam" is grown in Sannada City, and the "Minamikawa Jinjo Festival" is held during the season. Heading west from the "Miroku Fureai Market" on Prefectural Road No. 10 (Takamatsu / Nagao / Ouchi Line), you will immediately see the sign for "Namikawa Natural Potato Research Society" on the left side of the road. (During the festival, the flag is fluttering, so you can see it better.)
At the traffic light in front of the guide, turn to the southern Yamate and follow the signs, and you will find a small elementary school building in the village of Yamasato. This is the “Minamikawa Nature House”. It is a facility full of children visiting camps and camps in summer, but in December it will be the venue for the Minamikawa Jinjo Festival.

The Minamikawa area has long been known as a place where high-quality yams (natural potatoes) can be harvested. Therefore, in 63, we decided to grow natural potatoes as a crop crop.
In 12, he formed the Minamikawa Natural Potato Research Society. I went out for a tour outside the prefecture, and thanks to my repeated research, I was able to pick up fresh potatoes. However, mountain villagers do not know how to sell. At first, they went to Takamatsu Airport, Ritsurin Park, and Yoshima for sale. As a result of these efforts, the name of the Namagawa native potato gradually became known. And since XNUMX, we have decided to hold the "Minamikawa Jinjo Festival" locally.
During the season of potatoes (usually around the end of November to late December), “Minamikawa Nature House” is lined with stunning freshly picked potatoes. In particular, on the first Sunday of December, the Minamikawa Jinjo Festival, which also serves as a tasting party and a basar, is held. So, the arranged potatoes sold like flying, and recently they have run out of goods and have even become troubled. Vegetables, fried foods, hot pots, and specially made Minamikawa sweet potatoes with exceptional stickiness. Please go out early in the season.

Go out prefectural road No. 10 and head further west. On the right side of the road is "Kayasan Chaya". In a building reminiscent of a private house, there are a shop corner, a direct production corner, and a restaurant for local production for local consumption.

In 1999, the women's club of the Shikoku Okawa branch of JA Kagawa Prefecture became the parent and was opened by members of the Local Cuisine Study Group. Currently, it is a business establishment in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is an agricultural processing "Tezukuri store" exhibiting miso, tofu, karinto, etc., "Inakai" offering sushi and side dishes, mulberry tea and mulberry powder. "Mulberry Processing Research Group" and Shikoku Okawa Women's Club are involved. In addition, it is an antenna shop of "Sanuki Umaimon Network" and is a shop that is particular about safe and secure products.
Therefore, we recommend "rice flour chiffon cake (with honey and mulberry leaf powder)". It will go away too quickly for its deliciousness. The mulberry leaves in this cake were picked up by a member at a mulberry garden in Minamikawa in early summer, and many fans come from far away to buy it for good health. In addition, "okara donut" is also a hit product that contains okara and is healthy and has a sticky texture. Of course, restaurants also have menus and morning sets such as "Kamasan set meal", "Tofu hamburger set meal", and "Chaya udon". By the way, the soy products here are 100% local white soybean (Fukuyutaka) boasting taste.

Heading east from Ive Emotion, near the Okawa branch is Izushi Gloves. Founded in 38, the second generation Naoto Izushi is now the representative and has launched a brand called “CACA-ZAN”. After graduating from school, Mr. Izushi worked for a swan gloves company and has been a glove sewing craftsman for more than 30 years. Unusual for men, it is a craftsman who can sew gloves. At most glove production sites, division of labor and mechanization are progressing, and it seems that few people can do design, die cutting, cutting and sewing alone. Also, sewing is usually done by women, and it is rare for men to sew gloves. In such an industry, Mr. Izushi makes and sells alone.
We are proud of our one-of-a-kind, and offer functional, comfortable and, of course, cool gloves, mainly for motorcycles, bicycles, cars, skis and sports gloves. He is also talking about Tyrell's collaboration.

Five years ago, she was listed at an online auction, so orders have come to order, and sometimes she has been ordered for masquerade items such as Kamen Rider and cosplay gloves. The concept is "simple, easy to work, and not open". Here, there was a world of gloves that sew them with all their hearts, rather than a flow of work.

Heading north from Tokutake Sangyo, you will find Oyama Farm in a rice field. Here is a ranch where jersey cows with lovely eyes live. The cows are raised with a delicate affection, and the fresh milk is converted into non-homo milk in a private plant. Non-homo is milk that is fresher and less nourished. Milk that is richer and smoother than milk. In fact, Oyama Ranch was awarded the highest prize at the 2009st Kagawa Prefectural Milk Quality Improvement Association in 41 with the highest ranking of breeding and hygiene management out of 144 households.

An open café called "Sakura Sakura" is located just south of Amataki Mountain, a little east of Route 133. This is "Kagawa local production for local consumption cooperation shop". You can enjoy lunch with plenty of local ingredients such as pesticide-reduced vegetables.

Nine years after its opening, the store has been renovated and refurbished from a former barn that owned cows and chickens as a dairy farmer. The gardens and shops, which gradually increased the flowers that had been planted since ancient times, piled bricks and painted them, are like a fairy tale world. In the spring, like the name of the shop, the cluster amaryllis and Yoshino cherry blossoms also bloom. It is a shop where you can be healed slowly after getting off the car and taking care of the wheelchair. There are cute handmade items in the shop.

Proceed along Nagao Kaido again and enter the "Tazura Kodo" where Yoshitsune once passed, and you will find the Kuroda Tatami Store. This is a tatami store that has been reported to locals, but it also tells the story of the traditional tatami traditions of Kagawa Prefecture's traditional crafts. Mr. Koichi Kuroda, who was certified as a traditional craftsman in Kagawa Prefecture in 14, has also received a vocational training instructor first-class skill test, a technical festival technician commendation, and has a career of 40 years of tatami making and 20 years of traditional tatami mats. . It seems that there were many opportunities to make ancient tatami mats, such as temple work, in the past when the company was founded as a grandfather, but with the passage of the times, orders have been reduced. Therefore, we decided to make it as a flower stand or a decoration stand, but it seems that it took too much cost to sew the edge with a full-scale brocade, so it came to make a simple version using Japanese paper is. If this is the case, you can easily get it at shops such as "Yu-to-Pia Amoroku". Kuroda, who also enjoys painting, made old-fashioned tatami mats even at the edge of Kagawa prefecture's special product, Hotaori. Traditional tatami mats with beautiful edge nishiki that are perfect for festival dolls such as dolls. It is a tatami culture unique to Japan that wants to leave wonderful skills.
