[Rakkyo - Comparing the height of rakkyo] Kochi Prefecture is long from east to west, and the coastline from Cape Muroto to Cape Ashizuri is several hundred kilometers long. It is grown in Kuroshio Town, Konan City, Tosashimizu City, Muroto City, and other areas along the coast with good drainage, taking advantage of the warm climate. Rakkyo... It may not be the number one in the country in terms of shipping volume, but it is harvested early and is the earliest shipping area among all the production areas in the country! The main varieties grown in Kochi are the large "Rakuda" and "Yabuse", and the small "Tama Rakkyo". When you buy rakkyo, sprinkle salt on them to roughly pickle them, add chili pepper, and pour boiled sweet vinegar over them while they are still hot to prevent the color from changing and keep them crisp. All you have to do is wait for them to pickle, and you can live a leisurely life. In the fall, you can enjoy viewing the cute purple-red rakkyo flowers.
[Strawberry - First Love Berry] As the name suggests, Kochi's sweet and sour strawberries are mainly available from December to May. They are grown in greenhouses, taking advantage of the long hours of sunlight. In Kochi, the brand strawberry "Yume no Ka" from Sakawa Town, as well as other carefully selected strawberries are grown in the Reihoku and Hata regions. "White strawberries" are also becoming more and more popular. Strawberries are so cute. Even just a single strawberry on a cake makes me feel happy. Just having one on a dessert makes me feel excited...wait, is this really...?!
[Green peppers - shiny, glossy, Tosa beauty] Kochi green peppers are thick, sweet and delicious. Green peppers are in season from summer to autumn, but in Kochi they are grown in open fields and greenhouses all year round. They do not do well in the cold, so Kochi is the perfect place to grow them. Winter and spring green peppers, which are shipped from winter to spring, are also popular. Children used to dislike these vegetables because of their unique smell and bitterness, but recently they have been improved to have a more mellow flavor. Kochi also grows red green peppers and colorful paprika. (We support the farmers' spirit of challenge with Tosa Tenugui!) If you want to bring out the sweetness of green peppers, we recommend cutting them vertically, and if you want to add a spicy flavor to your pizza or other dishes, we recommend cutting them into rings.
It's cute when hung on a basket. It also neatly hides the contents that you put away carelessly.
When you go out, you can hide the contents of your basket bag from view...this is also a convenient way to use it.
The ends are left unfinished, as is the original method of using Japanese tenugui. When you first start using it, it will fray, but it will settle down after a few rows of weft threads are removed. Use it to dry dishes and your hands, and wash it thoroughly. As you use it, it will become loose and the color will settle a little... and you will grow to love it even more.
[Tosa Tabifuku] The main item is tenugui hand towels dyed with patterns of vegetables and fruits that are famous in Takamatsu using the traditional method called "Chū-sen dyeing."
A postcard with the same pattern as the tenugui. "How are you? Let's go to Kochi to eat some delicious food sometime." It's nice to send a postcard by mail every once in a while.
[Social Good! ... Things and events that have a positive impact on the global environment and society] LOVE Local, LOVE Story ... Let's love everyone's hometown, everyone's culture, and the stories behind the things. It's not just "your hometown" that's important. Traditional techniques, specialty products, local love, etc. I want to know more about the stories surrounding the good things and events that come from "everyone's hometowns" all over Japan. And I want to use them and enjoy them, and protect them together in the future. While thinking about this, I came across "Tosa Tabifuku". Every single piece of tenugui is filled with the local love and pride of all the people of Kochi Prefecture, which is nice. Social Good! ... At Who's Note, we would like to introduce and support more and more projects and products that are [Social Good!]. Look forward to it!
