On November 28th, a tasting party for "Towada's burdock burdock dressing" was held at "Fresh Farm foret" in the basement of the shopping mall "Hiroro" (Ekimaemachi, Hirosaki City).

This product uses 100% burdock from Towada and has no preservatives or chemical seasonings. Aomori Prefecture boasts the largest production of burdock nationwide, and Towada is one of the main producing areas.

Yoko Nakazawa, representative of the NPO Children's Center Hapi Tano (Inabu Town, Towada City) who developed the product said, "The cold wind that blows in the summer, "Yamase, creates an environment suitable for cultivation, and in the prefecture it is an advanced land" The soil of Towada City is making good burdock."

According to Mr. Nakamura, the NPO, which develops businesses such as child-rearing support and improvement of the environment in which children can play, is doing cafe sales and product development to become independent, and dressing is a new product that uses locally produced products. Was born in 2012.

The production is requested to Yamaichi Brewery in Aichi (Handa City, Aichi Prefecture), and it is made only twice in spring and autumn when the burdock is harvested. Immediately after harvesting, the burdock that arrives the next day is processed. Nakazawa says, "We are particular about the freshness of the burdock after processing it one month after harvesting, but the dressing turned white and failed."

The tasting party will be held for the first time in Hirosaki. Mr. Nakazawa and Mr. Ryoko Nakamura, a vegetable sommelier, stood at the shop and suggested recipes that could be used while recommending customers to taste dressed salads. Mr. Nakazawa smiled, "I heard a voice from a pregnant woman who cares about chemical seasoning that she loves it and saw a two-year-old child eating a salad deliciously," she said with a smile. ..

The price is 300 ml = 800 yen, 180 ml = 600 yen.
