Cooking Local Food And Enjoying The Farm Life In Tono, Iwate

After we experienced the exciting rice harvesting (last article https://authentic-visit.jp/locations/tono/20160823190343), we walked back to the farmhouse. On our way home we rambled around the family’s Buddhist shrine, the river that is used for swimming and fishing, and the water well that mothers and grandmas spend time at. Kominka, the long-lasting timber houses were undamaged even after the Great East Japan Earthquake. I was so hungry after the walk. At around 11 am, we started cooking for lunch. We had the traditional local food called hittsumi (dumplings in a miso-based soup) and salad that was made from the vegetables that were picked up in the morning. When I was cooking, I recalled my memory from my childhood to help grandma cook at her house.

Tono has a peaceful, safe and relaxing atmosphere. People are warm and friendly. Please come to Tono to experience the authentic Japanese lifestyle.
