Ofukuichi's Promise

 

1. Provide products that show the producers and processors of food and ingredients.

1. Avoid using additives as much as possible.

1. Cherish the warmth of handmade items.

 

 

The third event will be held on April 16th.

 

Kondo Shiitake GardenShimoyama Shiitake Farm is a traditional mushroom farm that grows shiitake mushrooms on logs.

 

Shiitake mushrooms are delicious, whether fried or boiled.

Carrying logs is hard work, and many people quit.

I'm glad to see young people taking on this challenge. Thank you and keep up the great work.

 

 

Dashenka NaMr. Miss···A shop selling handmade bread made with natural yeast and baked in a stone oven

 

Dashenka is extremely busy after opening a new store at JR Takashimaya

Due to the TV broadcast, it seems that bread is running out one after another at each store.

Ofukuichi may be a hidden gem. (There were a lot of people there last time too.)

 

I wonder if there will be any limited edition bread at Ofukuichi this time too... I'm excited!

 

 

Attori...A chiffon cake shop made with 100% local rice flour.

 

We use local ingredients as much as possible to make our rice flour chiffon cakes and soy pulp cookies.

The simple taste of okara cookies is something I would like to give to my children,

Once I buy it, I can't stop eating it.

 

 

koha ...A shop that sells bread made with homemade yeast and healthy sweets.

 

This time, we will be exhibiting as a muffin shop.

The sense of how to combine ingredients is amazing.

I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of muffins they make this time.

 

 

 

Kokui Farm We strive every day to produce safe, high-quality crops, and are particular about "delicious" food.

Healthy crops grown like our own children are unique.

Domestically produced soybeans are a precious crop, accounting for less than 5% of the total.

What's more, we offer tofu, natto, miso, and other items made exclusively with soybeans grown in Okui!

They sell it. My child also loves tofu and natto.

 

 

 

 

Acorn Village InabuSan... Inanabu roadside station.

Mineasahi rice is said to be a mythical variety. Mineasahi rice and its rice flour are only available in Inabu, the birthplace of Mineasahi.

They also sell chaberin dango (sweet rice dumplings) at the request of local residents.

Actually, Mr. Inabu from Acorn Village,

In order to protect the rice landscape of Inabu, we are working hard to take on Inabu's Mineasahi rice from farmers.

As abandoned farmland became a problem, we wanted to do something to help, and that's why we created Chaberin Dango.

Tea dumplings made with Inabu Mineasahi and Takakoen teas and natural water pumped up from underground.

Don't miss this opportunity. ...It will be sold in a special version only at Ofukuichi.

(The exhibit will represent Inabu's feelings for the farmland.)

 

FishmongerThey bring you fresh fish.

In fact, it can be quite difficult to buy fish at Takakaen.

Even if the owner buys products labeled as wild, they won't eat them because "they smell like farmed feed."

When I was worried because I couldn't tell just by looking at it, a neighbor introduced me to

This fish shop.

My neighbors came from Sendai and had a hard time trying the fish here.

Apparently they met and were introduced to this fishmonger.

Since then, it has become easier for me to choose fish.

"Please give us safe, wild-caught fish that haven't been fed farmed feed."

I always request this.

 

RelaxationSan...Antique and household goods store

Yutari is a shop in Toyota City that sells a variety of small items.

The space is a perfect fit for Ofukuichi.

Please take your time to watch.

 

Inabu Agri Renaissance...Volunteers who handle agricultural products and agricultural processing in Inabu,

This time, Charlie's Garden will be there, bringing flowers they have grown in Inabu.

*Added

 

MaruruSan... Cloth accessories

Your child will be moving up to the next grade or higher, so have you forgotten to buy anything?

They sell small items such as cloth masks and placemats.

You can purchase items while consulting with local mom Maruru about any questions you may have.

...I have to buy masks for my elementary school kids.

 

andTakakoen...All types of tea, including hand-picked matcha and hand-picked deep-steamed tea

In pursuit of delicious tea, we are particular about soil preparation using organic fertilizer.

We only sell tea that the owner is satisfied with.

Enjoy the deep flavor of hand-picked tea, made with meticulous attention to detail.

 

 

Local vegetablesFish will be sold in the parking lot on the south side of Hidamari.

We are currently considering a set that will only be available on the day.

The first and second Ofukuichi events were a huge success.

 

 

2 days ago

In the July discussion on the "Ofukuichi Summer Vacation Special Project Workshop (Participatory Classroom)"

In the afternoon and evening, I had a meeting with Kurumi and Koha.

We had a meeting with Mori no Hiroba from the evening until late at night.

 

They are truly wonderful members, and I am deeply impressed by each and every one of their thoughts and ideas.

I am once again grateful to have met you all.

 

Local residents, customers, and exhibitors alike,

I once again thought that I hope this morning market will be enjoyable for everyone.

Weeding tea fields by hand

Spring comes,

The grass has started to grow first, rather than the tea leaves in the tea fields.

On this day, we were able to collect enough grass to fill a light truck.

But the grass has amazing vitality.

I weed like this dozens of times a year.

The 2nd Ofukuichi Market was a huge success

The second Ofukuichi Market was held on Wednesday, March 19th.

Anyway, I'm grateful that so many people came.

At 9:10, those who started lining up were at the front,

A line formed before the store even opened.
