Michinoeki (Roadside Station) Churui
Michinoeki (roadside station) is crowded with families and motorbikers. Michinoeki Churui is on Route 236 and has become the tourism center of the town, where one can buy various local specialty products made with edible lily bulbs (Yurine) as an ingredient, including cream puffs, croquettes, etc. In the bakery “”Pao-Pao,”" bread fresh from the oven is available.
Especially, anpan (soft roll with bean paste inside) made with edible lily bulbs is so popular that all are sold out almost every day.
In addition, local studios “”milky house”" and “”mulberry farm”" make and sell products such as “”Naumann no Sato”" (Hometown of Naumann) milk, and other dairy products.

Modestly sweet with a springy dough that includes edible lily bulb. The longer you chew, the tastier the pastry becomes.
