Tsukinami Journey: Tasting Newly Harvested Miyama Rice and Ariake Nori Seaweed

About this event

An event celebrating this year's harvest by savoring newly harvested rice grown in Miyama City and seaweed (nori) nurtured by the Ariake Sea. The Niinamesai is a day to offer newly harvested grains of the year to the deities, partake together, and give thanks for nature's blessings, and this event is held in line with that purpose. On the day, participants can learn how to cook delicious new rice and how to identify high-quality seaweed. Furthermore, you can experience a seaweed taste-testing comparison and tsukudani (simmered seaweed) making, as well as enjoy tastings of three types of prepared rice and tsukudani. It will be a valuable opportunity to appreciate nature's blessings and rediscover the charms of the region through food.
