Agano no Sato Fureai Ichi (market)

上野の里　ふれあい市

This is building where agricultural produce are sold. Located along Prefectural Highway 62 and very close to Agano pottery studios. Sold here are goods centering on fruit and freshly picked local vegetables. Mr. Hayata, the manager of Agano no Sato Fureai Ichi recommends locally grown nashi (pears)! Customers can enjoy the many varieties of nashi starting in early August until the end of December. Why not try the pear with a 20cm diameter? This ”giant”is called Atago (pictured) and weighs about 1.1kg! At first, there is a sweet and sour taste, followed by a sweet taste! Since these pears have a self-life of 2 months when stored in a cool place, they make great gifts! Come on in at the beginning of November to see them in the store! Since 2008, pear wine made from the fruit juice of the Kosui (Asian pear) was first introduced. This product makes a great aperitif! It is also possible to ship this wine.
