    After wrapping up our trip to Naruko Onsen and before heading to our next stop, we went out of our way to stop by A, La, Date Roadside Station to stock up on food. I didn't expect it to be such a treasure trove of local specialties! Inside, there were all kinds of local agricultural products, fresh fruits and vegetables, and souvenirs from Miyagi Prefecture. It was also convenient for picking up snacks for the road. What especially caught my eye were the edamame-flavored specialties. From cookies to all kinds of snacks, edamame was everywhere, and just looking at them made me want to pick out a few to try.

    It’s not just about local specialty products—the dessert section is super tempting too. The fruit cake and cheese tarts are especially popular. The whole place is clean and spacious, and they also sell boxed meals and prepared foods, so grabbing something to eat is really easy. It’s the kind of place you definitely want to stop by when driving past, have a look around, and stock up a bit.
