In addition, it is said that it is also sold to the general public as raw noodles and beer while limited sale.
From the members of the Aoba Ward Shopping Street Federation
"It is finished in a size that resembles a medal for marathon and everyone involved in its operation.
We ask users of social welfare facilities from sowing to harvesting, and also manufacture cookies.
Cookies made from Aoba Ward as much as possible by asking a contractor in the city.
I hope that it will also be useful for replenishment of sugar for everyone who has finished running long distances. "
