Hello.

Thank you for always visiting the Azin blog.

Well, today we would like to introduce you to "A!TTEMIRU WAKASA", a monitor tour that takes you around the places associated with the people who support the food and traditional crafts of Obama City!

The tour will take place over two days and one night starting on March 3th, and there are two courses that will allow you to enjoy the charms of the traditional food "Heshiko" and the manufacturing site of Wakasa lacquerware.

The first course, "Fermentation Culture Course," will take you to Tadori in Obama City.

You can enjoy the fermentation culture of Wakasa by observing the production methods of two masters at the "Minshuku Sasuke" which continues to make Heshiko using the traditional method, and at the "Uchitomi Kitchen" which is a facility for revitalizing the city's fishing industry and is housed in the former Tadori Elementary School.

The second course, "Traditional Crafts Wakasa Lacquer Course," will take you to GOSHOEN (Kitashioya), which features a museum and other facilities, where you will learn about the history and other aspects of the area, and visit the workshop of craftsman Furukawa Katsuhiko.

The course includes the opportunity to taste Japanese sweets made by Hiroto Ueda, the owner of the confectionery shop "Iseya" in the city, using tools decorated with Wakasa lacquer.

We are accepting applications until today, March 3nd, with each course limited to 2 participants (a lottery will be held if there are many applicants).

Why don't you all try participating?
