A guide to where to buy the best local produce and ingredients
There is a fully-equipped kitchen in the guest room for you to enjoy preparing meals at your own leisure. Therefore, we are often asked the question; “Where are the best places to buy locally produced meat and vegetables?” This page introduces the recommended establishments from where you can purchase local ingredients.
目次
Asuparu, Western Tottori Agricultural Cooperative
Fresh produce next to the Hiezu Aeon Mall
“Asuparu” is a farmer’s market that is directly supplied by local producers. There are vegetables, meat and fish, all of which are good value and seasonal. The producer’s name is written on the packaging for each vegetable. It’s very popular with locals, so it’s best to go early before products begin to sell out. Because it’s close to Yonago-Higashi Interchange, it’s perfect for stopping by before you check in.
