Featuring approximately 2,000 local specialty items, including seasonal produce, this roadside station attracts more than 1.7 million visitors annually (cumulative total of approximately 17.7 million visitors as of the end of September 2026)—even in Chiba Prefecture, a highly competitive market for roadside stations.“Roadside Station Kisarazu Umakata no Sato” (Location: Kisarazu City, Chiba Prefecture; Operated by Nanohana no Sato Co., Ltd.) will continue to hold its regular “UMAUMA Agricultural Products Event”—a “fill-your-basket” sale of agricultural products held every Saturday, Sunday, and holiday—from November 2026 through February 2027.

The event will feature mainly agricultural products from Chiba Prefecture that can only be enjoyed during this time of year!

This time, we’re introducing the first-ever “Root Vegetable All-You-Can-Pack” and “Citrus Fruit All-You-Can-Pack” events. These winter-exclusive all-you-can-pack events will allow you to take home two to three types of produce at once. Additionally, we plan to offer a new “Glutinous Rice All-You-Can-Pile” event to meet the increased demand during the year-end and New Year’s holidays.

Although the cost of living has skyrocketed due to the damage caused by Typhoon No. 25 and global circumstances, we’re keeping the participation fee at “500 yen” (300 yen for some items) to give back to our customers and local contracted farmers. You can enjoy getting your hands on seasonal ingredients in a fun and affordable way!

「ウマウマ農産物イベント」2026年11月〜2027年2月も継続開催！

The “Umauma Agricultural Products Event” will continue from November 2026 to February 2027!

■ Background of the “UMAUMA Agricultural Products Event”

“Roadside Station Kisarazu Umakata no Sato” works with approximately 400 local contracted farmers.Held with the cooperation of these many local contracted farmers, the “UMAUMA Agricultural Products Event” offers participants an “all-you-can-pack” selection of delicious Chiba Prefecture produce—including vegetables, fruits, and rice—at a special price of “500 yen” (300 yen for some items).This event, which began with the desire to “make it easier for people to enjoy the delicious produce from local farmers,” uses so-called “non-standard” produce—items that, while maintaining the same great taste, are not sold on store shelves due to irregular sizes—to ensure satisfaction for both customers and farmers alike.

In September 2026, Typhoon No. 25 caused extensive damage to Chiba Prefecture, where our station is located, including the suspension of public transportation due to fallen trees and road closures caused by landslides. Furthermore, with the global surge in raw material and energy prices, price increases for food and daily necessities continue unabated.As daily life becomes increasingly difficult, we want to express our gratitude to you by delivering seasonal produce from Chiba Prefecture at a special price—with participation fees kept at their current level—so that we can show our appreciation even in these challenging times.
