Snow Country A-Kyuu Gourmet and Local Produce

SnowCountry is well known for the quality of its food. Part of the reason for this is the use of fresh, local ingredients. The Koshihikari rice gets a lot of the press but there is a thriving agricultural tradition in Snow Country that ensures the chefs of the region are well supplied with seasonal goodies.

The people living here benefit as well, as there are an abundance of small holders selling direct to the public. Drive along any main road in SnowCountry and there is a good chance you will see a stall selling the freshest fruit and vegetables.

Many of the supermarkets support the local farmers by having sections of locally grown, fresh foods alongside their usual produce. Buying local is good for the environment, good for the local community and great for the consumer. Next time you head past a little stall, make sure to drop in and get the freshest, tastiest food SnowCountry has to offer usually at a bargain price.
