About this event

Held at Kuzumaki Plateau Farm in Kuzumaki Town, Iwate Prefecture, the "Early Winter Log-Grown Shiitake Mushroom Festival" is an event where visitors can fully enjoy log-grown shiitake mushrooms on the plateau in late autumn. As limited gourmet items made with log-grown shiitake mushrooms produced on the farm, visitors can enjoy "Superb Gratin of Jumbo Log-Grown Shiitake Mushrooms," topped with mozzarella cheese and thoroughly baked in the oven, and the warm "Kuzumaki Nabe," a specialty dish of Kuzumaki Town packed with shiitake mushrooms, beef, cheese, and more. In addition, Pan House will sell freshly baked bread and limited sweets that can only be bought here, including limited-time apple pies. As for events, rare "jumbo shiitake mushrooms" will appear at the "Log-Grown Shiitake Mushroom Special Sale," which sells farm-produced log-grown shiitake at special prices. Furthermore, the "Dried Shiitake Weighing Challenge," where visitors can take dried shiitake mushrooms home for free if they weigh exactly 50g on the scale, and the "All-You-Can-Stuff Firewood Challenge" (participation fee: 500 yen per try), where participants can stuff as much miscellaneous wood ideal for wood stoves as they can, will also be held. Please visit Kuzumaki Plateau in late autumn with your family and friends.
