In the town of Ino in Kochi Prefecture, where corn cultivation is thriving, shops selling salt-boiled corn and other products have appeared along the road, and the "Kibi Kaido" has appeared this year, and it is crowded with many customers.
In the Edagawa district of Ino Town, every year during the peak corn harvest, shops selling freshly caught raw corn, salt-boiled "yudebi" and grilled corn open along the road, and it is known as "Kibi Kaido".
On the 4th, more than 100 shoppers lined up from the morning, and corn was sold like a fly.
According to the store, the corn they sell is characterized by its grainy texture and refreshing aftertaste, and it is growing smoothly with moderate rain and sunshine.
A woman visiting from Kochi City said, "Last year it was sold out in front of me, so I'm glad I was able to buy it, and I want to go home and eat it as soon as possible."
A woman from Kagawa Prefecture said, "I left home at 6 a.m. for this reason, and I bought 10 yujibi and 3 grilled corn. I'm looking forward to eating it."
The "Kibi Kaido" is scheduled to continue throughout this month, but it is irregularly closed depending on the growth of corn, such as some shops not selling corn on the 5th and 6th.
