Tasty Discoveries in a Warehouse! Enjoy All-You-Can-Pack Fun and Food Entertainment in Sakaide

Interview Locations:　Inoue Foods

Inoue Foods in Sakaide offers a fun all-you-can-pack experience and is a unique food spot open to all visitors. Located just after crossing the Seto Ohashi Bridge into Kagawa, it is a great place to stop by and enjoy a special taste-filled adventure.

“Wait, what’s this place?” — A colorful set of banners invites you to make a little detour

As you head south on Sanuki Hama Kaido near the Gusto Sakaide Kita Inter branch and pass Patisserie YUTAKA, a line of bright banners comes into view on the right. Seeing them in front of a warehouse, you may find yourself curious enough to make an unexpected stop.

This is one of those intriguing spots that adds a little sense of discovery to your drive.

A trusted local food supplier supporting the community for over 70 years

Founded in 1950, Inoue Foods is a long-established wholesale food supplier that has supported the local community for generations. While it primarily provides ingredients to schools, hospitals, and restaurants, one of its unique appeals is that it is also open to the general public. In July 2024, the company relocated to Nishi-hama Minami, where it continues to attract even more visitors and activity.

Inside, you’ll find the welcoming warmth of a locally rooted wholesaler, along with plenty of little discoveries that make you want to pause and explore.
The store is filled with large-quantity items for professional use, as well as unique products that are not often found in an ordinary supermarket.
You’ll also discover a tempting range of items that evoke a sense of nostalgia while still feeling special, including familiar school-lunch favorites like crepes and jelly, as well as their best-selling rice companion, Kinoko Nori.

“Kinoko Nori,” the store’s No. 1 repeat-purchase favorite

With its selection changing depending on seasonal offerings and incoming stock, each visit feels a little like a treasure hunt.
On weekdays in particular, it becomes a quiet little hidden gem where you can browse the shelves at a relaxed pace, wondering what delightful find awaits you that day.

Saturdays are something special—the warehouse transforms into a lively food-filled playground

On Saturdays, the warehouse takes on an especially lively atmosphere with its popular all-you-can-pack sale on frozen foods. Filling your bag to the brim is so much fun that even adults cannot help but get seriously into it.
Regular visitors come prepared, carefully stretching their bags to the limit before they begin—a sure sign of just how seriously they take the challenge.

There is even more to enjoy, with events such as prize draws and target games often happening at the same time. The compact setting also creates a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, where visitors can easily chat with the staff and enjoy the experience together.
If your timing is right, you may also come across pop-up sales by Ottimo, a popular gelato shop from Takamatsu. Alongside that, you’ll find a carefully chosen selection of truly delicious local and regional specialties handpicked by the owner.
Depending on the season, craft beer may also be available, making it a place where grown-ups can easily find themselves just as delighted as the kids.

At Inoue Foods, you can truly feel the warmth that comes from being a business deeply rooted in the local community.
When you are in Sakaide, be sure to stop by and enjoy this one-of-a-kind food experience.

*The all-you-can-pack event starts at 9:00 a.m. on Saturdays and runs until sold out. For the latest updates, please visit their Instagram.
