Tokyo Harvest Festival at Roppongi Hills November 12th/13th

11.November.2016 | FOOD

The Tokyo Harvest Festival will span across two days on Saturday November 12th, 2016 and Sunday November 13th, 2016. This is an event held to show gratitude to all of the producers that help maintain Japan’s food culture while enjoying all different kinds of harvested crops that autumn has to offer around Japan.

“Tokyo Harvest” (http://www.tokyoharvest.com/) began in 2013. The event held last year was its third huge run, attracting around 35,000 people. Farmers and creators from various industries will be participating in a variety of ways this year at the festival’s fourth run. There have been a lot of natural disasters to hit Japan this year including typhoons and earthquakes. There will be support and aid for the areas that were hit by the disasters at the event.

 

The ingredients that were collected at the “Fruit & Vegetables Relay” that was held in places including the Tohoku area, Kumamoto-ken and Tottori-ken were made into an oyster chowder and will be handed out to 100 people (only 100 available).

You’ll even get the chance to try out farming yourself. However, due to standard shipping procedures, processed foods such as mini potatoes and vegetables will be used. You will be get involved with harvesting small Hokkaido produced potatoes for a small price, and of course eat them (or take them home)! Enjoy your autumn this week over in Roppongi.
