In the Kanto region, the winter cherry blossoms and plum blossoms are blooming, which is unbelievable in Iwate's current climate!
Today was warmer than usual and it started raining in the afternoon. I hope the roads are not slippery and icy from tonight to morning.
​ There are things I look forward to every year in this cold weather. It boasts the sweetness of vegetables.
There are many interesting ways to ripen it, such as exposing it to the cold or aging it under snow, don't you think?
The vegetables grown on the farm are kept in the field in the cold until just before they are fenced off for the winter.
Some types of vegetables may be kept in the field.
Among them, carrots grown in cold weather have a completely different sweetness.
​It is sold as ingredients at the farm, at markets, and even on Yamabato flights.
Try comparing it with carrots from the supermarket. You'll see the difference!
