About this event
A special experiential workshop to enjoy harvesting and cooking wood ear mushrooms (kikurage) will be held in Kitanakagusuku Village, Okinawa Prefecture. Unique to Kitanakagusuku Village, which declared itself a "Town of Kikurage," this event pairs the popular mushroom harvesting experience visited by 7,000 people annually with a cooking experience featuring "Kikurage Komachi." The venue is "Kitanaka Farm" in Higa, Kitanakagusuku Village. While enjoying the springy texture unique to fresh, living wood ear mushrooms, participants will prepare three dishes themselves: "Wood Ear Mushroom and Cucumber Salad," "Wood Ear Mushroom Steak," and "Chinese Stir-fry of Wood Ear Mushrooms and EM Eggs." With recipes that can be enjoyed at home, you will discover new delicious ways to prepare wood ear mushrooms. You can take home the wood ear mushrooms you harvest yourself. Why not fully savor the charms of Kitanakagusuku Village through this unique experience?
