This winter, which was said to be mild, is still getting colder as the season approaches.

However, here in the southern part of Iwate Prefecture, the amount of snow is much less than usual, so it's a waste to use studless tires.

The road is easy to drive on.

Now, the "National Herb Summit", which we have already announced on our blog and latest information, will be held in Ichinoseki City in June of this year.

Prior to the release, the first pre-event was held today at "Seki no Ichi Sake Brewery" in Ichinoseki City.

Approximately 150 people interested in herbs gathered at the venue, making it a very lively event.

Of course, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who came from both inside and outside of Iwate Prefecture, and said, ``We must make this event a great success.''

``Bah...'' I thought.

The herb tasting event held between the keynote speeches was also a great success.

The venue was so crowded that I couldn't take photos of the tasting dishes...

And we, Ark Farm, also offer our proud dishes! !

As expected, there were so many people that we ran out of sample food in no time.

Today is the first pre-event.

The second event is Sunday, March 19th at Hana and Izumi Park, Hanaizumi-cho, Ichinoseki City.

The third event will be held on Saturday, April 1st at Tategamori Ark Farm in Fujisawa-cho, Ichinoseki City.

We will do our best to get as many people as possible aware of and interested in herbs through this pre-event.

I'm coming, so please wake me up at the venue.
