It is a great time of year in Snow Country. The new rice is just around the corner - it is already starting to change color in the fields - and that means the round of harvest festivals will shortly follow. Harvest festivals involve food so are some of our favorite places to be. New rice, cooked in the traditional way, is something that everyone should taste, and having it cooked by the proud farmers who produced it is one of the best ways to sample it.
The
Nakazato Harverst Festival is on Saturday October 6th. There'll be the ubiquitous freshly cooked rice and mushroom soup on offer, as well as other entertainment. There is also the chance to get out in the field, scythe in hand and learn how to harvest rice in the traditional manner. This is an amazing way to experience traditional Japan. There are only a limited number of spaces so you need to register in advance.
