A barbecue event was held in which Hirosaki and Tokyo were connected by Skype, and the agricultural products made by young farmers were eaten together.

The event, entitled “Let's Cook & Eat with Young Farmers in Hirosaki City in Garada Kitchen,” was conceived by Akane Kubo, a fourth-year student at Hirosaki University and from Gunma prefecture. "During job hunting, I learned about a project called" Karakuda Kobo, "which aims to create local fans and connect Tokyo with the region to activate them," says Kubo. It was said that the idea for the event came up when I visited Bono (Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo), who started the exchange via email and started the exchange.

From Hirosaki, a voluntary group of young farmers "Hirosaki 4H Club" participated. 11 farmers participated. Pig farming and farmers who mainly produce apples such as tomatoes, rice and blueberries sent pork hormones, tomatoes, rice (Tsugaru Roman) and root bent bamboo to Tokyo. A wild vegetable such as Nemaguri Bamboo told the episode that he went to harvest at 3 am in the morning, saying, "There are many competing competitors to get up early and go to harvest."

Mr. Takafumi Miura, the representative of the group, showed a satisfying expression, saying, "There were times when I couldn't talk enough because of my first challenge, but I was able to convey what I wanted to convey." "During the exchange, there was a voice from the Tokyo side that I wanted to buy agricultural products, and the challenge was to create a system that could meet that demand."

Boe no Chie Sawa says, “For us living in Tokyo, we have almost no experience surrounding the same dining table as the producers who are far away, and just listening to the food made us feel many times better than usual”. Among the participants was the Aomori Wagemonokai in Tokyo, a group in their 20s from Aomori Prefecture, who said, "I would like to do another project this time," while feeling nostalgic for the hometown ingredients.

Mr. Kubo is enthusiastic about "I want to continue." "We want to connect with people outside Tokyo by sending seasonal ingredients to Tokyo throughout the year, having farmers who did not have the opportunity to explain their agricultural products, and so on."
