Buying at Farm Shops
In the producing area, you can buy hoshiimo directly at farm shops and stores. It's a way of buying that puts a face to the maker — and of meeting a lineup you'll only find in the region — with a charm all its own.
Why buy in person
You can look at the products before choosing, ask the makers and staff about eating and storage, and sometimes encounter products that rarely reach online shops.
Before you visit
Days, hours, and sales periods often change with the season and the harvest, and shops may close outside the hoshiimo season. Before heading out, check each seller's official site or social media for the latest, or call ahead.
About the area
The stretch covering Hitachinaka, Tokai, and Naka in Ibaraki is the main producing area, dotted with farms and stores that sell directly. You can find sellers with published in-person sales information in the producer listings.
