Michinoku Mingeiten
A folk craft store on the Nasu Kaido Highway in a relocated 250-year-old mansion once owned by a wealthy farming family. They handle folk items like pottery, woodwork, and local toys from all over the country. Other items include masks, kites, bamboo crafts, and glass work. With so much packed into the small space, just browsing can be exciting. Many items can only be found there, such as house recipe pickles and goods associated with Nasu no Yoichi and the nine-tailed fox spirits found in local mythology. There is also an adjoining cafe area. It serves items like suiton dumpling soup packed with mushrooms and sprouted premium rice dumplings in a soy sauce broth; its miso oden hot pot is popular for its secret miso sauce made with brown sugar.
