Come enjoy the FARMERS MARKET TOKYO AUTUMN FESTIVAL for the first time.

Perfect for those who enjoy farm fresh vegetables, fruit and vegan food outdoors under the autumn sky. Every week there are top farmers and enterprising businesses gathering in front of the UNU Building offering some of the freshest and highest quality ingredients in Japan. Each vendor is an expert in their specialty so learning is always possible here. This week a few special guests:

Hokkaido’s Hilltop Herbs on Sunday

Located atop a hill in Ishikari, Hokkaido, Hilltop Herbs cultivates around 40 varieties of herbs. Without relying on pesticides, they carefully research and grow herbs suited to the local climate, handling nearly every step of the process by hand.

At this week’s market, they’ll be offering a wide selection of herbs, including their original herb tea blends, about 10 types of single herbs, cooking herb mixes, spiced herb salts, and bath herbs.

Yamagata’s Ari’s Fruit Orchard on Saturday

Mr. Ito, the orchard owner, believes that growing apples without relying on fertilizers or excessive watering is the key to achieving the delicious flavor he strives for. While cultivating fruit without pesticides is a significant challenge, he continues to refine his apple-growing methods year after year, gradually reducing the use of pesticides.

Although they only participate in the farmers’ market once a year, this week’s highlights are the seasonal Fuji apples, along with dried apples and 100% pure apple juice made from them.

While Fuji apples are also grown in places like Aomori, Nagano, and Iwate, Mr. Ito proudly states, “These apples reflect the unique environment of Sagae City, Yamagata Prefecture, this year.”

TOKYO KNIFE SHOP

Stop by the Kikusumi Tokyo Knife Shop booth and check out the new tools and kitchen knives to enhance your cooking. Every week we bring the best Japanese knives to the market – many of which bear our original design. We also have a carefully curated selection of finely crafted tools and wares. We love it when beauty and function exist together.
