Takei Grocery Store has been in business since early in the Showa Period. They offer fresh vegetables grown right here in Maniwa City. Their noren have always featured one of the many vegetables found in their shop: lotus roots, eggplants, green peppers, pumpkins and green peas in that order. This noren features a line of three green pea pods. It represents the third-generation shop owner, his wife and his mother working together.
