I went to EXPASA Gozaisho SA (service area: up line)! Detailed information on popular souvenirs, gourmet food, and surrounding information!

"EXPASA Gozaisho SA (Service Area: Up Line)" is full of thoughts and memories of Mie Prefecture. Our exquisite limited edition products made with delicious local ingredients are perfect as souvenirs for loved ones or as a treat for yourself.

I will introduce you in detail♪

"EXPASA Gozaisho SA (inbound line)" has a storehouse motif.

It is the last SA visited by people heading to the Chubu region from the Ise and Kansai areas, so it is always crowded.

We have original products exclusively available at EXPASA Gozaisho SA (Up Line) that use ingredients from Mie Prefecture, and all of them are of high quality!
There are three types of masterpieces that have been selected as NEXCO Central Japan's new souvenir "Premiya". These are only reliable items that have been carefully selected together with the Jalan editorial department.

There is a large illustration of Baby Star Ramen's new character "Hoshio-kun" right next to the main entrance!

"Shop Baby Star" is opened by "Oyatsu Company" for a limited time. (The store will be open until July 1, 2018) The store is full of products that you don't usually see at supermarkets or convenience stores!

When I asked the store clerk about the best sellers, he told me that he had 130 yen each for ``Baby Stard Big Ramen,'' which is made in collaboration with local gourmet foods such as ``Kyushu soy sauce,'' ``Salted konbu,'' ``Ume konbu,'' and ``Setouchi lemon.'' It sells well at a reasonable price.

The ``Various Pack'' packed with 8 different products and the nostalgic ``Retro Pack'' are also popular. He told me that.
``The various packs are big, so please let me take a picture of you holding them so I can see the size!'' I asked. Even though he was not allowed to show his face, he accepted the job. thank you very much!

The souvenir shop is located right after entering the facility.
There was a corner with products certified by NEXCO Central Japan's new souvenir brand, "Premiya."

The following three products were selected as "Premiya". ``Owari Tsukudani'' (570 yen) is a special dish made by Kuwana's long-established restaurant ``Zuiho'', which combines seaweed caught in Ise Bay with shigureni clams and okaka.
When my daughter ate this, she said with a smile, "You can eat as many bowls of rice as you want!" It's a product name that perfectly matches the taste.

Moist baked ``cheese kuchen'' for 1,296 yen.
The Baumkuchen specialty shop ``Yoshiya'' uses cream cheese from the dairy farm ``Milk Palette'' in TsuCity to bake it.
I later found out that heating it in the microwave will bring out the cheese flavor even more. I've already eaten it all, so I'm looking forward to the next time I'll warm it up.

“Ise shrimp flavored potato chips” 350 yen. The aromatic grilled spiny lobster has a strong flavor! You can see that the shells and miso are powdered together, giving it a rich and luxurious taste. We won the national jury award (Canada) at the “Souvenir Grand Prix 2018”!

This is the first time I have encountered potato chips with such a rich flavor. The thinly sliced potatoes are lightly fried and bring out the flavor of the spiny lobster!

``Nori Ramen'' from ``Kaikaya Rakumenso'', a popular ramen shop in Matsusaka, costs 880 yen. A cup full of aromatic seaweed grown in Ise-Shima.
When I spoke to the staff at the shop, I found that the best-selling item is the ``Ise Soy Sauce Chinese Soba'' (680 yen), where you can enjoy the aroma, richness, and flavor of delicious country soy sauce.

In addition, the limited-time menu, which is made with locally sourced ingredients, is popular.

The most popular dish at Japanese and Western Dining Ajikura is the Yokkaichi specialty Tonteki（PorkSteak）! “Tonteki（PorkSteak）set meal” 1,050 yen. There is also a hearty ``large Tonteki（PorkSteak）set meal'' with 300g of pork for 1,920 yen.
The aroma of the sauce and garlic that wafts through the air from the moment the food is prepared until it's brought to your table is delicious! Stamina is also perfect.
Kameyama's specialty, ``Miso Yaki Udon,'' is 690 yen for a single item, and 840 yen for a set meal. "Croquette curry with Iga beef" is also available individually for 700 yen and as a salad set for 830 yen.

"Heart Bread ANTIQUE" is famous for its magical chocolate rings. Here you will also find products exclusive to EXPASA Gozaisho (Up Line).
``Burnt Cheese France'' is 540 yen, a luxurious dish with melting cheese sauce and cubes of natural cheese inside French bread dough. I was impressed by the amount of cheese that ran down and how delicious it was when I ate it.

The fluffy donuts with a new texture are also available only at EXPASA Gozaisho SA (Up Line). There are 6 types: ``Cheesecake,'' ``Black Tea,'' ``Matcha,'' ``Chocolate,'' ``Plain,'' and ``Caramel,'' all priced at 185 yen.
