RE: Kore Kara Noka これから農家 blog post: From farm to fork in Tokyo: We are The Farm Part 1
first of all great post, secondly great concept of restaurant for Japan i liked the presentations of the plates a lot, in the last dish i liked the plate and cup as well :P
now judging by this ''all supplied (and run) by a small organic farm in Chiba Prefecture called Zairai Nojo'' and they are suppliers for 4-5 restaurants so you can see your idea has a lot potentials ;) i bet that experience inspired you even more
Hi @filotasriza3 ! Thanks for the feedback! I actually started off tried to write about the entire operation in one post, and then gave up because it was too long! The whole thing was indeed inspiring, but I really can't see myself doing the same thing: running a farm is hard to begin with, so trying to run restaurants and shops on top of that is, I think, well beyond my capabilities!
i dont meant running restaurants but being a supplier for them with your organic makings ;)
just for the sake of knowledge or discussion what are those things that making the running of a farm hard? for example are there any goverment regulations that make it hard or the general soil, others things or many different things together. I know this is a big conversation so i dont want to make you write a lot you can say it in a few words and as an idea it would be a future post that you can explaining the hardships someone can have or the ''goods and the bads'' etc etc :)
Hi again @filotasriza3 ! OK, sorry, wasn't paying attention! One of the brilliant things about Japan - and this is something I will be covering in future articles, both on my blog and on Voluntary Japan for @kafkanarchy84 - is that many things are actually much freer, much more "anarchist" here in Japan than in either the EU or the US. For example, official catalogues of authorised seeds and vegetable varieties, mandatory insurance schemes, and licenses needed to actually sell the food you grow etc. are either virtually or totally non-existent. I guess it's just one of the many "contradictions" that make Japan so unique, but I was very happy when I found out about these freedoms, increasingly absent everywhere else.
wow great!! and these freedoms make you and everyone pay a lot more attention to their products in general their job and passion instead of have to search for all of things and how they work resulting in wasting time or have an anxiety about the ''new rules'' and how to learn everything etc etc. According to this its like Japan says if you love it i make sure at least you give a try without you have too worry too much about the licenses and responsibilities!
