Roadside Eki Fukushima the 170th roadside station in Tohoku , opened on April 27, 2022 at the entrance to the expressway connecting Fukushima Prefecture and Yamagata Prefecture.

in front of the store , with many types of seedlings on display and for sale .
Near the entrance, there were also large ornamental plants and popular succulent plants . Also, right after entering the store, there were killifish and insects for sale, and children were looking at them with sparkling eyes.
Full of in-store information!
Just the fact that it's new is exciting, but what's inside?

The ceiling is high and wood is used abundantly, with good air circulation and a pleasant smell of wood . It was spacious with no small partitions, so we were able to avoid crowding.

The highlight of the roadside station! The promised local produce corner .
There are separate booths for each producer, and you are sure to be intrigued by the unique, fresh, and reasonably priced vegetables.

The bread corner was so comprehensive that it made me cry It's probably rare for a roadside station that sells so many breads. Freshly baked bread is divided into booths for each store.
There are many attractive products lined up on the refrigerated display shelves, such as fruit sandwiches and meal breads.
The bread corner, which is one of the main attractions at Roadside Station Fukushima, seems to sell out quickly . If you're aiming for bread, we recommend going early.

Of course, the local sake section will attract men and women . It is packed with famous sake from Fukushima , a place of sake, and although it is difficult to get a drink with a regular size (one-liter bottle), it is sold in one cup, a size unique to roadside stations.
You can also buy several types as souvenirs for yourself! Of course I bought it too.

This time, ``Daishichi'' and ``Oku no Matsu'' sake, both of which I had been interested in for a while, both from Nihonmatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture, and opening them at the same time and tasting them while comparing them. One cup may be the only way to enjoy it like this.

Milky Dining a ramen restaurant along the Aizu Nishi Kaido, became famous overnight due to its gap with the name of the restaurant, and there was also a souvenir corner where you can eat it at home. The physical store is small and it is a popular store where there are long lines on holidays. It is quite far from Aizu Town, so if you're a tough visit, it's great to be able to enjoy it at home!

I found a jam that was manufactured not far from the roadside station. Since it is handmade, production numbers are limited, so if you come across one, this is your chance to purchase it.
We also have sweets made directly by fruit farmers, so be careful not to eat too much! is.
