A cafe restaurant "Farmer's Dining Vegefru" (Farmer's Dining Vegefru) (Hirosaki City, Dote Town, TEL 0172-88-6886), which is directly managed by farmers, opened on May 10. We offer dishes made with carefully selected local vegetables grown in the nature of Aomori Prefecture.

The owner, Jun Akaishi, is an apple farmer. Restaurants run by apple farmers are rare in the city. "I want to provide menus from the producer's perspective," he said. The staff also aims to obtain a qualification as a natural food coordinator, and aims to propose various ways of eating vegetables.

“I would like to create a space where people can easily come to their friends' houses to eat and drink,” says Akaishi. In the future, we plan to increase the number of dessert menus and make menus for children as well, so I hope that parents and children will also be able to visit with their children.

Rice, which uses less pesticides at restaurants, will also be sold online, and from June, we will start producing vegetables from local farmers on regular holidays at restaurants. "I want to convey the deliciousness of local vegetables and ingredients from this place to not only children and locals but also customers from outside the prefecture," says Akaishi.
