[Close to Chubu Centrair International Airport] Tokoname's beloved "town milk"

A small hut on Kurefu Tsuchiya Street on the Pottery Footpath. The building, located on the site of what was originally a clay pipe factory, retains a nostalgic feel, and next to it is the actual kiln where the clay pipes were fired. Tokoname Milk, which was founded in Showa in the Sanwa district of Tokoname under the name Sanwa Milk, was born with the hope that "people will drink milk and become healthy." The logo, which features a child in the middle of three circles, represents the company name and the hope that children will drink milk and become healthy. Currently, about 70% of Tokoname Milk is made for school lunches and is consumed in elementary and junior high schools in Tokoname City, Obu City, and Chita City . Tokoname Milk is so popular that it is known by everyone on the Chita Peninsula . The soft, sweet aroma and mellow, elegant flavor are the result of our commitment to freshness, as the milk is pasteurized at 85 degrees the same day it is squeezed and shipped the next day. Enjoy this classic taste loved by the people of the Chita Peninsula. Even if the Tokoname Milk Stand is closed, you can still enjoy Tokoname Milk at Tokoname Fusha, located right in front of the stand.
