AOYAMA FARMERS MARKET TOKYO JULY FESTIVAL

Come enjoy the AOYAMA FARMERS MARKET TOKYO. Every week there are farmers arriving from Tokyo area and far beyond. Each specialize in specific fruit or vegetables that represent best in class tastes and aromas. Unlike grocery stores, farmers pick their produce just before they arrive which ensures the freshest possible tastes and textures. Chefs from the Aoyama area arrive every weekend because they know the best seasonal produce can be sourced here. One farmer Mikan Hiroshi dries over 9 hours from Wakayama to deliver the best oranges in Japan to his Tokyo customers. The tastes are amazing.

This weekend the monthly Antique market returns. It is an excellent chance to find rare and out of production items like tableware, clothing and posters. Usually there are a few extra vendors with unique items as well. The quality tends to be higher than other typical markets so come check it out!

Stop by the Kikusumi Tokyo Knife Shop booth and say hello 🙂 Every week we bring the best Japanese knives to the market many of which bear our original design. This week we have 2 special ocean salts for cooking. One is roasted sea salt harvested from the Japan Sea. When added to food it boosts umami thanks to its mineral content and roasted taste. An easy way to boost flavors and enjoy your meals more. We also have a sea salt blended with kombu for the eastern ocean of Japan. It has a distinct sea flavor that goes particularly well with raw, steamed or fried vegetables.

Knife collections featuring Japanese woods are in stock. Kashi is Japanese oak, Sakura is Japanese cherry tree wood and Enju – or pagoda wood – coated in FUKI URUSHI by our craftman in Echizen. We have launched our original FURU series of Japanese wood handle knives. We started this series to address the growing concern over sustainability of our resources. Black Ghost series we have a Kyoto style nakiri and santoku that utilize kiso hinoki. Kiso hinoki has special oils that we now up-cycle into Kiflora aroma products. The future is bright when we consider our impact and value every part of the resources we consume.
