On April 1, "Yuraya Fukuroku" (Oshimizu, Hirosaki City) opened near a shopping center in Yasuhara, Hirosaki City.

The store has more than 100 kinds of seasonings and skin care oils, mainly edible oils. Yosuke Ando, the store manager, worked as a manipulative teacher in Osaka, but he thought that he could not be healthy unless he removed not only the skeletal distortion but the underlying cause, and he opened the store.

“Oil has a bad image of health and beauty, but it is essential for building the body,” says Ando. It is the second person in Aomori prefecture to obtain the olive oil sommelier qualification certified by the Japan Olive Oil Sommelier Association. Enthusiastic, "I want to propose good oils for the body."

For the olive oil sold, we are particular about extra virgin that conforms to the standards of the IOC (International Olive Association), and we also prepare olive oil from Italy, Spain, Turkey and other countries, as well as from Shodoshima, Kagawa prefecture. In addition to olive oil, linseed (flax seed) oil, avocado oil, sesame oil are also available, olive beauty oil, additive-free soap, moisturizing cream, etc. are also lined up.

The store area is 12 tsubo. The "Machi Library" will be set up in the store, which is the first application in the Tohoku region. The "Machi Library" is an effort to create a place where people can connect and interact through books. "Use it as a community space. If it gives you a chance to stop by casually"

Mr. Ando says, "I want to start by rooting the culture of using olive oil in Hirosaki. Olive oil goes well with Japanese food. I often eat natto, but if I can propose a new food," he said. "I want to explore the compatibility of Tsugaru's local cuisine with olive oil," he said.

Business hours are from 10:00 to 19:00. Closed on Wednesdays.
