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

Ano SA (down line) is an SA that will make you “delicious” and “fun”!

Don't miss the famous bread that has been featured on TV and the original menu using Ise potatoes!
There is also a large dog run on the premises, and you can eat with your dog outside!

I will introduce you in detail♪

A cafe with an eye-catching Mediterranean-style exterior.
There is a rich drink menu of more than 10 types, and you can also enjoy local gourmet dishes such as ``Ise soy sauce soft serve ice cream'' made with Ise soy sauce, ``Matsusaka beef croquettes'', and the Tsu specialty `` TsuGyoza''.

The large store is divided into stores and has a stylish atmosphere.
Now, what kind of products can we find?

There is a concierge stationed here who can provide information on road conditions, tourist information, lost items, etc.
``I try to provide guidance from the customer's perspective,'' she replied with a smile.
When I asked him what he recommended, he told me, ``How about TsuGyoza and Ise-Udon Bread?Also, for one day of each month, the Sakubi Gourmet will also be available.''

The food court has a large number of seats and is lined with three restaurants: ``Watanabe Seimenjo'' for udon, ``Kakuda Shoten'' for katsudon, and ``IPPUDO RAMEN EXPRESS'', and the atmosphere is filled with a pleasant aroma.

Ise potatoes are said to be the highest grade of yam, and are hard to find in stores even locally. It contains less lye and has a richer taste, so it has been used in Japanese restaurants and Japanese sweets for a long time.
The ``Ise Imo Tororo Set Meal'' is 890 yen and allows you to enjoy Ise Imo over rice.
Pour the sticky Ise sweet potato grated yam and soy sauce over the rice, and enjoy while making a lot of noise. Comes with a small bowl, chashu pork, and miso soup.

"Hakata style tonkotsu ramen" 750 yen. Kyushu ramen that can only be eaten here in Mie Prefecture!
It is characterized by a rich soup that is mixed with thin noodles.
The authentic taste has been arranged to make it easier for everyone to enjoy.

"BREAD JUNCTION" has a wide selection of rare and original breads that you won't find at other bakeries!
Let's take a closer look at these two best ones.

"Ise-Udon ga bread" 210 yen.
As the name suggests, this unusual bread is made from Ise-Udon!
Ise-Udon seasoned with Ise-Udon udon sauce is placed inside the bread, making it a ``portable Ise-Udon.''
This is a dish that has many repeat customers.

"Special handmade curry bread" 350 yen.
As you can see by comparing it to milk, this curry bread is large and packed with chunky toppings. Even just one was enough to fill me up!

"Ano SA (outbound line)" is also famous as a dog-friendly SA.
There is a dog run, trash cans for dogs, a dog terrace, toilets, a foot washing area, a drinking fountain, etc.

Oh, I found a family having fun on the face panel! Let's call out.

``Hello! Please let me take a photo!'' I asked, and they kindly agreed.
Transform into a cute new breed of dog! High pose, one♪

By the way, the bottom right facing panel is tall enough for a dog to fit inside.

Return to the store and head to "rosso mart" where there is a souvenir corner.
We carried a variety of souvenirs from Mie Prefecture as well as the Tokai region.
It seems that they mainly handle smaller sizes so that they don't become part of your travel luggage.

``Tsuji-san's Melting Chili Peppers, Kaoru Yuzu, and Sprinkling Ginger'' 820 yen each.
These spices are made in the Ureshino region and are all ``meltable'' types, making them perfect as a secret ingredient!
They are placed on the tables in the food court, so you can try them out before purchasing.

“Okage Tenugui” starts from 1,620 yen.
A soft tenugui made from Ise-Momen dyed using the Ise Katagami pattern.
The more you use it, the more it will fit in your hand.

``Bireidama'' candy made with Akoya pearl powder from Ise-Shima, which has a whitening effect, costs 660 yen.
Charm pearls can be used as pendant tops.
It's delicious to eat, beautiful to wear, and a souvenir that women will love.

Do you know what "jabara" is?
This citrus fruit is effective against pollen and is rich in vitamins such as vitamins A, B1, B2, and niacin, as well as the flavonoid narritin.
When the store clerk tried it for two months, he said that his hay fever symptoms were alleviated. We also carry a wide variety of bellows products.

"Anotsu Soft" made with milk from Anotsu Farm costs 350 yen.
This soft serve ice cream has a distinct milk flavor that makes you feel like you're eating milk instead of drinking it.

“Iseimo Daifuku” 260 yen.
This daifuku is made with Ise potatoes kneaded into the skin and wrapped in miso bean paste, and is available only at Ano SA (outbound line).
This dish has a chewy texture and uses miso, which gives it a refreshing flavor!

“Kuya Mochi Set” 300 yen.
``Kuya Mochi'', which has been certified as a pre-miya in Mie Prefecture, is a famous confectionery from Futami Town.
It's nice to be able to enjoy it on the spot, rather than just as a souvenir.
