Yasai Direct Sales Shop Machan

Flow of the course

About this spot

A direct farm produce shop representative of Mitsuse, located along Route 263. The signature item is zaru tofu (tofu served on a bamboo strainer) with a light, fluffy texture. The rich sweetness of the soybeans makes it a star product that brings fans back repeatedly. Inside the shop, fresh vegetables picked that morning from the highland fields, pickles, and processed goods are displayed in abundance—perfect for stocking up on Mitsuse souvenirs all in one place. The casual food corner at the front is also popular, making it a bustling pit stop on weekends. Being able to take home the mountains' bounty with a direct connection to those who grew it means the lingering memory of Mitsuse continues even after you get home. A detour that food lovers won't want to miss.

Tips

The signature zaru tofu requires refrigeration, so a cooler bag is recommended for safe transport. Parking can get crowded on weekend afternoons. Popular items can sell out, so grab them early if you spot them.

Best time to visit

Approximately 45 minutes required. Early afternoon, before the signature zaru tofu and vegetables sell out, is your safest bet.
