Rice from all over Japan!
Hachinohe City in Aomori Prefecture is famous for its marine products, with the Hachishoku Center and Kabura-shima Island as representative tourist attractions, located along the coast near the port.
In addition to the Korekawa Ruins, many other ruins have been discovered in the city, making it a perfect place to learn about the history of various periods.
There are also many fashionable stores, and there are still many undiscovered places to recommend!
This time we will introduce two of them♪

Rice-related specialty stores! KOMEKUUTO Hachinohe Store

KOMEKUUTO Hachinohe store exterior
The first one we will introduce is KOMEKUUTO, a rice specialty store located about 20 minutes by car from JR Hachinohe Station.
Here, in addition to milling, weighing, and selling rice and miscellaneous goods, you can enjoy a special menu using rice at the attached café!

The name KOMEKUUTO comes from...

When you eat rice, you will naturally feel energized.
When you eat rice, you will naturally feel energized, and when you eat rice, you will smile.
The concept of "everything starts with rice" is the origin of the restaurant's name.

This is a place where rice lovers can enjoy rice to the fullest.
The colorful word "rice" welcomes you at the entrance...
Rice-related accessories are also available!

The store is full of rice-related products!

Inside the store
From various varieties of rice, to rice accompaniments, tableware, accessories, and notebooks, there is a full lineup of rice-related products!
Many of the products are new to me, and I lose track of time as I browse from one item to the next.

Have lunch at the café attached to the store.

A relaxing and comfortable atmosphere.
The KOMEKUUTO Hachinohe store also has a café.
The concept of the café is "Everyday Tea and Rice.
The warm lighting creates a very peaceful atmosphere, and it is a wonderful space that caters to customers.
Seasonal Wappa Gozen
This time, we had the seasonal wappa gozen, a set of stir-fried gindara cod and plenty of vegetables with salt and sesame sauce.
The fatty codfish is deep-fried and stir-fried with seasonal ingredients such as lotus root, burdock root, and sweet potato.

You can choose from white rice or brown rice with cereals, and one refill is free!
The miso soup can also be changed to a seasonal miso soup with a variety of ingredients. (*An additional 160 yen will be charged.)
The generous portions are very satisfying and filled my stomach.
A la carte menu: brown rice balls with cereal grains and fried chicken

During our interview, we also received a single item on the menu.
It is a small size (80g) cereal brown rice rice ball with salted mackerel.
The favorite topping, egg yolk marinated in shoyu, is inside the rice ball♪ (*Additional charge of 70 yen including tax will be added).

In addition, three pieces of fried chicken were also served together!
This fried chicken is juicy and healthy because of the rice bran in the batter♪

Not only can you choose between a set meal and a single item, but you can also adjust the toppings and quantity, so you can enjoy it differently every time.
There are also many different types of ingredients for the onigiri, making it hard to choose the right one for you!

Moreover, some menu items can be taken out!
There are also a wide variety of drinks and sweets for you to enjoy in a relaxed atmosphere.

After lunch, visit the pastry store 【PATISSERIE YASUHIRO】.

Patisserie YASUHIRO exterior
About 10 minutes by car from KOMEKUUTO Hachinohe is the pastry store "Patisserie YASUHIRO".
Owner patissier Yasuhiro Tsumagari opened the store in 2015 after five years of training in the 16th arrondissement of French pastry and more than 10 years working at his family's "Cake House Tsumagari" in Hyogo Prefecture.
Inside the store on the day of the interview
The moment I opened the entrance door, the sweet and luxurious aroma of freshly baked cookies enveloped my whole body.
The store is filled with heart-stirring baked goods and cakes!
I should have been full, but I was still hungry for something sweet.

The cookies are very popular! The reason why...

Delicious-looking cookies
Patisserie YASUHIRO is known for its "simple cookies made with the finest ingredients.
There are two reasons why customers continue to love these cookies!
1) Special fermented butter used only in a few confectionary specialty stores in Japan
2) "Real" organic sugar that uses no chemical fertilizers or pesticides

It is crispy but also has a mellow buttery flavor that makes your mouth water!

The wrapping paper of the baked sweets has a secret!

Colorful and cute wrapping paper
If you look closely at the wrapping paper of the baked sweets, you will see a hidden illustration of Hachinohe's local toy, the "Yawata-uma" (Hachiman horse).
You can feel the passion for Hachinohe even in the smallest details.
It is sure to be a gift that will please you!
You can also choose from a variety of other cute wrapping paper to suit your purpose.

It's not just cookies! Our commitment is not only to cookies, but also to cakes!

Seasonal apple pie
Not only are their popular cookies filled with care, but their cakes are also excellent!
We have a wide variety of cakes, from seasonal cakes using seasonal Aomori fruits that make the most of the local goodness to standard cakes.

The "Nejo Roll," which has the name of a place in Hachinohe in its name, is one of the standard cakes.
It is made with eggs from pure domestic chickens (momiji), organic sugar, and Acacia honey from Goto beekeeper Nomura, and filled with a blend of four kinds of whipped cream.
It is a roll cake with a simple yet profound flavor.

In this season, we also recommend the apple pie.
The crispy pie is filled with fermented butter and filled with Fuji and Benidama fruit.
It is a limited product for fall and winter, so don't delay! (*Rough sales period: mid-November~late January)

We also offer birthday cakes, puddings, duck worts, etc. by reservation only.
