Are you familiar with Lake Hamana Direct Market, an online shopping site that carefully selects delicious ingredients from the Lake Hamana region and delivers them nationwide?

This is an online shopping site that sells carefully selected seasonal and delicious ingredients, including live eels marinated in the morning, the mystical white onion, persimmons grown on trees over 20 years old, and fully ripe Mikkabi mandarins.

If you take a look at the official website of the Lake Hamana Direct Market, you’ll see a wide selection of products that are filled with the producers’ passion!

This month’s recommendation is the online shopping site “Hamanako Farmers Market” ☆

“The history of “Asashio” began in the 1960s when my grandfather-in-law, who ran a whitebait processing factory, opened a boat rental company to let as many people as possible enjoy fishing. “I wanted people to eat delicious food, so I began serving them. In the 1975s, after training with my father-in-law, I started an inn business in response to requests from fishing customers who wanted to stay overnight.” Ms. Mizuki Yamada is the young proprietress.

Approximately 40 years after opening, we have continued to operate on the shores of Lake Hamana as an inn where you can enjoy delicious food.

There are a total of 11 guest rooms. This family-run inn with a homey atmosphere has many repeat customers, and is popular as a place where you can enjoy meals with a spectacular view of Lake Hamana. From April 2021, we have started offering reservation-based lunches in completely private rooms.

This month’s recommendation is “Live Fish Inn Asashio”♪
