最近、TVや雑誌で取り上げられることが多くなった「ひまわり市場」。山梨県北杜市の八ヶ岳山麓にあります。
Recently, the supermarket “Himawari Ichiba” has been featured on TV and magazines. It is located at the foot of Mt. Yatsugatake in Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture.

道路情報を見ると、「何だこれは!」と思うくらい工事個所が多くて、中央道に入ると大月JCTの先で「渋滞7km40分」の表示が出ていた。というわけでノロノロの写真。
Looking at the road information, there were so many repair work points that I thought, “What’s this!”, And when I entered the Chuo Expressway, there was a sign saying “Congestion 7km 40 minutes” from Otsuki JCT to Sasago Tunnel. The photo at that time.

一見、どうってことない普通のスーパーマーケットのように見えますが、品揃えが素晴らしく良いことと、全ての商品に丁寧な説明書きが付いている。それを読んでいるだけでも楽しいし、ついつい買いたくなってしまう。
arrival. At first glance, it looks like a normal supermarket, but it has a great selection and all the products have detailed instructions. Just reading it is fun and makes me want to buy it.

ここの名物の一つ、社長さんによるMC。商品のアピールをしながら従業員をヨイショしたり、お客さんからのコメントを紹介したり、聞き惚れてしまう。
It is impossible to explain everything in English, so please feel the goodness.

そして、最後のレジのところまで笑わせてくれます。

これから軽井沢に向かいます。いつもならここから141号線に出て小淵沢~清里を通って北上するのですが、今日は違うルートを走ってみたい。もう一度中央道に戻り、長野自動車道~上信越道と大回りして佐久ICで降ります。
I’m heading to Karuizawa. Normally, I would take Route 141 from here and head north through Kobuchisawa-Kiyosato, but today I would like to take a different route. Return to the Chuo Expressway again, make a big turn from the Nagano Expressway to the Joshinetsu Expressway, and get off at the Saku IC.
