What is "hickory03travelers"?

hickory03travelers is a group that creates various things based on the concept of "Let's enjoy everyday life.

We have a store and workshop (1 minute walk from the store) on the Kamikomachi shopping street, which has a nostalgic atmosphere, and we design and produce mainly T-shirts and miscellaneous goods.

The store is housed in an 80-year-old two-story wooden building (formerly a liquor store), and the first and second floors have completely different looks. The store's lineup includes original hand-printed silk-screened products, Niigata-style souvenirs, and a selection of products that make everyday life more enjoyable. There are also many collaborative products with products made at welfare facilities for the disabled, Niigata's long-established stores, traditional crafts, and stores in the shopping arcade.

What is Ukihoshi?

Ukihoshi" is a sweet snack made of glutinous rice (arare) and sugar syrup. At first glance, it may look like a kampeitou, but it is not. Since it is made of arare, it has a simple taste with a moderate sweetness. In Niigata City, there is only one "Meidi-ya" (established in 1899) that makes these sweets, and they are very precious. It used to be a famous confectionary loved by Niigata citizens under the name of "Yukari," but in recent years, its sales space has been shrinking.

■They can be eaten as is, added to tea or hot water, or as a topping for ice cream or sweets.

■Four types of floating stars are packaged in a special gift box. Recommended as a gift.
