Stick19 Strolling through Michi-no-Eki Shitara 5th Anniversary Festival: The Tomato Farmer Who Hates Tomatoes!? and a Report from the Okumikawa Folk Museum by the Kashi-mashi Girls
The regional development platform 'matchbox' from Shitara Town, Aichi Prefecture, shares the experience of attending the Michi-no-Eki Shitara 5th Anniversary Festival. Despite setting up a stall with bonfire candles and a podcasting experience, the unexpected foot traffic provides a glimpse into the raw, real-time atmosphere of the event.
We had an unexpected encounter with a tomato farmer who dislikes tomatoes.
We interviewed the couple from 'Nabe-san Farm' at the venue. Surprisingly, the husband isn't fond of tomatoes, yet we learned all about his dedication to the tomatoes he grows and the behind-the-scenes stories of his product development. The unique motivation behind why he started growing tomatoes he doesn't like and the unforeseen secrets are truly fascinating.
The conversation heats up as one surprising product after another appears.
Furthermore, the topic shifts to other vendors and a report from the Okumikawa Folk Museum. Along the way, there’s a moment where we sample 'Age-Bae,' a fried bagel. Find out how it tasted and feel the excitement of the event by listening to the full episode.
