The "Yamaya Hirosaki Tree Shop" (Tel 0172-55-5835, Hirosaki City) will open on June 7 along Hirosaki Prefectural Road 126.

The store will open on the site of the "TSUTAYA Media Inn Tree Store" which closed in 2015. The store area is 233 tsubo.

“Yamaya” (Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture) is a chain store that sells alcoholic beverages such as wine, Western sake, sake, and imported foods. This is the third store in Aomori Prefecture, following the Niida store (Hachinohe city) and Towada store (Towada city). The sales floor area is 137 tsubo.

Daiso Sangyo (Higashihiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture) has a 100-yen chain store, Daiso, which is the sixth store in Hirosaki City. The sales floor area is 96 tsubo. "Yamaya" is the first facility in the northeast, and the accounting system is unified with "Yamaya". It also supports d points, credit cards, and electronic money payments.

Yasuomi Akimoto, the store manager, said, “We will sell locally produced cider and wine, as well as overseas, domestically produced products such as Nagano and Yamanashi.” "There is a limited quantity of Western sake in a glass set for the opening sale and products that can only be obtained at our shop."

“In the future, we will expand the lineup to meet the needs of the region,” says Akimoto. “I have a sommelier qualification, so I can make suggestions that I don't understand or that I like. Please feel free to speak to me,” he says with a smile.

Business hours are from 9:00 to 21:00.
