“Tokyo Harvest” (http://www.tokyoharvest.com/) began in 2013. The event held last year was its third huge run, attracting around 35,000 people. Farmers and creators from various industries will be participating in a variety of ways this year at the festival’s fourth run. There have been a lot of natural disasters to hit Japan this year including typhoons and earthquakes. There will be support and aid for the areas that were hit by the disasters at the event.

 

The ingredients that were collected at the “Fruit & Vegetables Relay” that was held in places including the Tohoku area, Kumamoto-ken and Tottori-ken were made into an oyster chowder and will be handed out to 100 people (only 100 available).
