About this event

"Iitate Village's Village Diner" is a dining hall where grandmothers from Iitate Village and Fukushima University Daikoku Seminar students take on new challenges while preserving the food traditions of Iitate. An "ichiju-issai" (one soup, one dish) set packed with the wisdom and care of the village grandmothers is served, featuring miso soup made using handmade miso produced every year, three kinds of handmade pickles, and the popular gomoku okowa (seasoned steamed sticky rice). Fifteen years after the earthquake and tsunami disaster, it embodies the wish that the familiar flavors and connections between people of the past will continue to be a part of the village's daily life into the future. Opening about once a month at venues such as "Madeina-ya" and "Nagadoro Community Center," it is bustling with villagers and visitors gathering together. It is an opportunity to casually enjoy "the food of Iitate."
