    工場見学に訪れました。非常に職人の挨拶がよく、気持ちが良いし、それぞれの作業場所には案内看板が立っているので、予備知識がなくても楽しめる。 前日までに依頼すれば、無料のガイド付きツアーも頼めるそうです。 ショップには、たくさんの包丁があって、圧倒されます。 高価なものもありますが、安いものもあります。コストパフォーマンスが良い印象を受けました。

    前にも「道の駅あらい」に立ち寄ったことがあるのですが、そのときは「カンパーナ」の方しかいってなかったので、今回は「ひだなん」に立ち寄り大正解、野菜の種類も果物も新鮮でお安かったです。昼前で少し早かったのですが、奥にあるそば処でお昼を頂きました。大かき揚げそば、ミニ天丼セットを頂きました。おそばもいい香りがして、お出しも辛すぎずむっちゃおいしかった。何より、天ぷらが軽くてさくさくでおいしかったです...
