I went to YONAGO ! (3)
July 14, 2014
Hello, this is the office Tanabe.
Continuing from last week.
Finally, the second day of YONAGO
Of the Yamazaki director YONAGO rare journey continues.
************************
Good morning!
It's cloudy today, but it's not raining.
(It was a rain mark in the weather forecast!)
As expected, it's super powerful (not Gouriki ...)
Super powerful sunny man !? Yamazaki power explodes! !! Is.
YONAGO station seen from the hotel ...
The Kitaro train is running on the upper left!
Let's stop by.
Hmmm, very cute! !!
(I can't get on the train because I'm moving by car ... sorry)
************************
Mr. Tozaki is at the hotel
He came to pick me up.
Tosaki-san, today ... where are you? ??
20 minutes by car, near Nakaumi,
YONAGO passing Yonago Waterbird Park, we arrived at Swan Farm.
Waterbird Park is famous for swans flying in
A waterfowl sanctuary (protected area) boasting an area of about 28 ha
It's one of the most important places for waterfowl to live.
In response to that
Mr. Kikawa said that he named it Shiratori Farm.
Mr. Kikawa is a classmate (!) Of Mr. Tozaki.
It's been a friend of mine for ten years now.
As far as the eye can see ... fields, hatake, hatake.
All of this is Kikawa-san's field!
saw it for the first time!
What a tobacco leaf.
I'll bother you!
It's a cucumber greenhouse.
Freshly caught!
Such a fresh thorny cucumber,
You can hardly see it at a supermarket in Tokyo.
It is a cucumber flower.
cute! Baby cucumber ... (laughs)
You can do it like this.
I tried to bite it!
Even if it's such a small one, it's a cucumber ♪
I'm surprised at the freshness!
There are also peppers!
Everyone has glittering eyes like children (laughs).
I'm surprised at the size!
Tomato!
Komatsuna!
Oh, excuse me.
This is Mr. Kikawa.
We went there on our own,
I got a bright red tomato!
It has a little sourness and a nostalgic taste ♪
Finally ... take a commemorative photo!
From the left, Mr. Tozaki, Mr. Kikawa, and Mr. Yamazaki.
************************
For Mr. Kikawa, in making agricultural products
I heard various stories about hardships.
About non-standard vegetables
If you do not go through a brokerage, you can shorten the distribution time
It will be possible to deliver fresher products,
What I used to take for granted
Not at all! I was noticed.
Even in the last few years, consumers have
What you can put in your mouth at your own will and judgment
I'm starting to be able to make a choice,
There are still few opportunities to see the faces of producers,
It's almost impossible to hear the voices of producers directly.
More and more each other know each other
I wish I could interact with them with compassion! !!
... I feel like I got a lot of hints.
Mr. Kikawa, I'm sorry to bother you.
Thank you for your valuable experience!
