Locally produced and locally consumed gelato in Tsugaru City, Aomori Prefecture
Its name is "Farmer's Assassin". The name of the store has an impact that you will never forget once you hear it!
This time, we would like to introduce you to this gelato.
Let's go to "Tsugaru City Agricultural Products Direct Selling Center" right away!
The direct sales shop sells local marine products, processed products, vegetables, and prepared foods, and I recommend it.
In addition, there is a cafeteria attached to the shop, which was crowded with local customers during lunch time when I visited the shop!
Meet the farmer's assassin! Face to face!
If you look closely at the signboard, you will see the word "Tsugaru" hidden in the word "No"!
You can feel the local love in every detail.
After purchasing, you can immediately enjoy gelato in the direct sales shop.
The atmosphere combined with the relaxing time, I was able to enjoy the gelato.
We are weak against the words "limited edition"...
After talking to the staff, we started with the four "limited edition" varieties that are only available at the store!
I was told that every flavor has a base of yam produced in Tsugaru City.
Even when I scooped it with a spoon, I felt a little sticky and heavy.
The sake lees has a special taste for adults who can enjoy the flavor through their nose, although the alcohol is firmly removed.
The strawberry milk has strawberries kneaded into it and is definitely delicious with a hint of pulp!
The burdock tea also had grains inside, and you could not only feel the slight burdock flavor, but also enjoy the texture.
Premium White had a base of yam, and richer cream and thick milk were kneaded into it.
It was simple but firm and sweet!
The first anniversary flavor of the store's "No. 1 in popularity" that bewilders the mind!
There was also a limited time flavor to celebrate the first anniversary, and of course we had it.
That is marmalade and chocolate!
If you look closely at the picture, you can see that it is a double, so the chocolate is hidden underneath...
The gelato itself has rare cheese as the main flavor, and the marmalade is kneaded in as an accent.
I knew before I tried it that it was a "no-brainer," but it was a perfect match, and the taste exceeded my expectations.
The flavor is said to be limited time only, but it is said to be continuing due to the popularity of the product.

If you are interested, please purchase as soon as possible!
The take-home version has a different and special feeling!
If you look closely, you can see the stylish "Farmer's Assassin" logo on the side of the cup as well.
Open the lid and you will see colorful toppings! This is also a specification only for take-out.
The marmalade and chocolate flavors are sold separately when purchased at the store and consumed on the spot.
The to-go cup contains both flavors in one, so it's a bargain!
On top are orange peel and crispy chocolate.
The orange peel and crispy chocolate are on top, and the crispy chocolate is also lurking on the border between the two gelato flavors themselves.
The other flavors also have toppings that are unique to the cup as well!
You will enjoy the different textures♪
The key to the birth of "Farmer's Assassin" is in the cat on the package?
The reason was not just "cute.
As you can see from the many specialties of Tsugaru City, there are many farmers in the area.
Farmers often have many rats and insect pests, and cats often live there in search of them!
The farmers are also healed by the cats' lovability, and they soon become mutual helpers.
Just then, the farmers were troubled by a lack of successors, aging farmers, and ways to communicate the appeal of their produce.
What about the cats who saw what was going on?
The official website describes the story of the birth of "Farmer Assassins" from the cats' point of view.
Each of the cats has a cute name.
Please take a look at the website as it will surely make you feel relieved!
