シーポッポ - 鰺ヶ沢町

While you can't play in the sea right in front of you, there is the Ma no Umi Memorial Hall on the second floor. It's a small but quite fulfilling space that even offers the opportunity to experience wearing a mawashi and trying sumo. If you take a short drive around the area, you'll find a street with grilled squid, hot springs, and chicken dishes, making it a place where you can enjoy various activities when you visit Ajigasawa. The direct-to-sea produce here offers a variety of fresh seafood products. Sometimes there are even times when you don't have to wait in line. The western coast around here is also famous for flounder and rockfish, but the turban shell is both cheap and abundant. The local vegetables and unique side dishes are also worth mentioning. There are two dining options, a soba noodle restaurant and a seafood and ramen shop, along with a cafe. The spacious food court is great for sitting down even during lunchtime. Outside the building, there is a statue of Wasao and a face-cut panel. Although you won't see the real Wasao, it's still a nostalgic and enjoyable sight. It's a small town where you can take a leisurely drive or stroll around. Make sure to check out the local shops and stores in the area.

I visited for the FM Aomori 2022 Stamp Rally. Among the various seafood and souvenirs, when it comes to Ajigasawa, the highlight is definitely the flounder pickled bowl! It's not an exaggeration to say that I came for this dish. While looking at the menu at the Donsan dining hall, I was also interested in the seasonal sea urchin, but I chose the flounder. Sometimes you can find it at local supermarkets, but the quality is definitely different in its hometown! It was really delicious.

There were plenty of souvenirs to my liking here. There were also many fresh fish options that made it hard to decide.

海が観たくなると鰺ヶ沢に来ます。 その時は必ず「道の駅わんど」に寄りますす。魚屋さんや鰺ヶ沢の特産品が並んです。 食堂やカフェ・地元の皆さんが作った惣菜など自由に使えるテーブル席も沢山あるので食事や休憩も出来ます。 トイレは建物の中に１つ、広い駐車場に１つ有ります。 隣に酒屋さん・建物の前ではイカ焼きと生ジュース。

2階に相撲に関する展示館があります。 現役時代の舞の海さん等身大パネルや、舞の海さんの有名な勝負の様子をリピートで流してました。 いろんな貴重な資料もあり、無料で観れて凄いですね。 1階は直売所や食堂です。 にんじんをお安く購入できて良かったです。
