Even into April, mornings are still chilly.

The other day, on April 1st, a pre-event for the National Herb Summit was held here at Ark Ranch.

Many participants seemed to be enthusiastic about learning how to use herbs to make them delicious.

​This time, at Restaurant Til's, we will of course have a tasting of herbal tea,

We provided several dishes for tasting to everyone who attended the event.

Perilla, cherry blossoms, mugwort, shiso, hakobe, sagebrush, etc.

By participating in this event, I learned that Japanese herbs have various medicinal properties.

The more I know, the more I am surprised, and the more I study, the more I incorporate the goodness of Western and Japanese herbs into my cooking.

We would like to prepare for the Herb Summit to be held on June 24th and 25th.
