Two connections led to the opening of a store in Takasago Onsen.
Kazuhiro Ushiro, the developer of the baked donuts and the head of the manufacturing department at the Kurosengoku Business Cooperative, used to visit Takasago Onsen often, and the opening of the store was a result of a new connection formed between him and Yuji Takada, the managing director of the Kurosengoku Business Cooperative.

Renewal! Takasago Onsen

Takasago Onsen, which was founded in 1965 and has a 60-year history, will undergo a renovation in 2022, upgrading its Showa-era retro space and becoming increasingly popular!

The retro shops inside the museum are filled with nostalgic Showa-era spaces, including a retro game corner, manga corner, and Famicom corner, and the shop is packed with cheap snacks.

Among them are products related to Kurosengoku soybeans, which sparkle beautifully.
