Reconsidering local specialties.
Developing products that change the history of souvenirs.

Through trial and error, we have created a number of original products that can only be tasted at Sano Highway Restaurant. In the store, there is “Caramelized Strawberry Croissant Pie” made with strawberries, a specialty of Tochigi, and “Honey Milk Cheesecake” made with carefully selected honey from Tenguya Beekeeping Store, headquartered in Sano City, and milk from Nasu. There are many limited-edition items that can only be purchased here.

Another recommendation is “Amazake Smoothie”, which is made from amazake by Daiichi Sake Brewery, the 350-year-old oldest brewery in Tochigi founded in 1673. It contains no preservatives, additives, or sugar, and has a refreshing taste with a moderate sweetness. Of course, it's non-alcoholic, so it's perfect for a drive. We are actively promoting the hidden charms of Sano City through products that collaborate with local communities.

Among the wide variety of souvenirs available, the one that has remained the most popular for many years is Sano's specialty, “Sakura bean paste bread”. “Nakada's Bread" is a specialty product baked by hand, one by one, using Koshihikari rice produced in Tochigi Prefecture for the dough. This year, Sano Highway Restaurant started selling a new product “Baby Star Sano Ramen Flavor”, which was inspired by “Sano Ramen”, well-known local gourmet dish in Sano City. It became a popular product along with “Sakura bean past bread” in the souvenir corner this summer.
