Hashimoto Farm in the Mihota-district of Koriyama City has an orchard for grapes, apples, and more. It is the only grape-farm that offers grape-picking experiences. During the time of this edition of FoodCamp, the Azuma-Shizuku (a species of grapes developed originally by Fukushima Prefecture) are in season, and ready to be freshly picked from the vines. The farm is located near the Oya Aquaduct of the Asaka Canal, a symbol of the development of Koriyama City. Learn more about this story, while also enjoying the tale of culinary storyteller Chef Matsuoka, through a maginificent French-style summer lunch.
