Kochikuya

4.0

"Goldfish, one of Yamatokoriyama's specialty products, are believed to have been first cultivated in the area at the end of the Edo period by then- Koriyama Domain retainer Sato Sanzaemon. This shop crammed with Koriyama goldfish-themed accessories and knickknacks, items featuring designs inspired by the Buddhist temples of Koriyama, and other souvenirs and mementos. There's also a popular adjoining ""kingyo sukui"" goldfish scooping area where you can try this popular traditional game which involves scooping up real live goldfish using a precarious, disintegrating paper scoop."

9時からやっている土産物で、ガラス、タオルなど様々な金魚のグッズやお菓子がありました。500円ぐらいのガラス製の金魚の箸置きが涼し気でした。
