Chest Building
(チェスト館)
This specialty store boasts an extensive selection of items. The shelves are packed with regional specialties, freshly harvested vegetables, seasonal fruits, prepared foods, and processed agricultural products.
This facility's strawberries, which appear from December to May, are hugely popular! When the season arrives, the shelves are lined with a wide variety of strawberries, including Saga Honoka, Beni Hoppe, and rare white strawberries.
The speciality of Hioki City, Pika Strawberries, are a particular favorite, characterized by their rich flavor, high sugar content, and deep red color that extends all the way to their green tops.
The aisles are wide, making it easy for wheelchair users and families with children.
The on-site cafeteria offers signature homemade soba noodles and menus featuring local ingredients.
