Hirosaki's town development organization "Youth Summit Hirosaki" held the "Hirosaki Ale Summit" on July 1st, proposing a "new lifestyle" banquet.

A group of young people involved in Hirosaki's industry and university students in the city working for the purpose of town development. The Hirosaki Ale Summit was held in cooperation with the Hirosaki Ale Rice Project Executive Committee, which was launched in April of this year to support local restaurants with SNS tools.

Initially, the purpose of "Hirosaki Ale Rice" was to share take-out information (take-away information) at restaurants during infection prevention and self-restraint, but in Aomori prefecture, the situation has not occurred for more than a month. Since there are currently no infected people around Hirosaki, we have set the goal of “searching for resumption of economic activity in the region” and propose a new way of living at banquets and restaurants. It came to hold as a place.

At the summit venue “Faultuna” (Watoku-cho, Hirosaki City), the hall with a capacity of 250 only had 56 participants and a round table of 6 for 10 people. At the time of admission, in addition to thorough alcohol disinfection and body temperature inspection by thermography, the receptionist checked the travel history of all visitors and contact information in case of emergency.

Food is provided by each person and it is recommended to order a glass or a glass. During the conversation, he covered his mouth with a “splash etiquette stick”, exchanged business cards at a distance of 1 meter or more, placed business cards on the table, and called for refraining from direct exchange. At the time of the toast, the greetings that the glass was applied to were abolished, and vocalization was prohibited. Holding time is 90 minutes. Consideration was also given to ventilation, such as leaving the door open inside the venue.

The project executive committee member, Suichi Akimoto, said, "The event was held with the utmost efforts to prevent infections, taking into account the guidelines published by the national, prefectural, and municipal governments. In the post-corona society called after corona and with corona, Although I was rude because it was different from my life, I think Hirosaki was able to send a proposal as a new standard."
