Visiting tips & what to bring

Being an outdoor food truck, there is a chance of early closing or rest depending on weather and stock. Check the open days on SNS before visiting. There is little shade, and the summer sun is strong, so a hat and sun protection are reassuring. As there is no dedicated toilet, taking care of it in advance at the nearby Irabu Ohashi Umi-no-Eki goes smoothly. As there is passing traffic around, take care not to obstruct it when stopping or parking. Payment may be basically cash.

For families with small children

With an easy-to-spot location right after crossing the Irabu Ohashi Bridge, you can stop the car and drop by quickly, suited to a drive break with small children. The sweet, easy-to-drink lemonade is welcomed by children too. However, being outdoors there is no shade, baby chair or dedicated toilet, so it is not suited to a long stay. A style of enjoying the drink in the car or at nearby spots after receiving it is recommended, and in the hot season take heatstroke measures.
