Introduction
The Tsuchiyu Roadside Station was opened in April 1993 as the first roadside station in Fukushima Prefecture. Vegetables, wild vegetables, and konjac are often consumed in this rich area blessed by the mountains. The famous konjac, konkororin, is made by hand using konjac flour from Japan and the water of Tsuchiyu, and you can enjoy its traditional taste and texture without any coloring or preservatives. Fresh, seasonal vegetables are also well known here.
