Today we’re off to one of my favorite autumn events in Itoshima. It’s called Beer Farm, but it’s really more about beans – edamame! You can pick your own beans and then eat them right by the field. More details below.
At this annual event you can knock back beer while enjoying your freshly picked and boiled edamame. Ticket price includes all-you-can-pick/eat edamame. Stalls selling Kirin beer made from Itoshima-grown barley and local foods will be there, too. At the venue, food from Itoshima will also be on sale, including gibier skewers, prepared dishes from Sozai Batake Ganko, grilled sausages from Ikisan Farm, asparagus rolls, strawberry smoothies, hot sandwiches, edamame gelato, and more. Take-out edamame is also available for an extra fee. If you plan to pick edamame, wear clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty in, boots, towel, hat, etc. There will also be a trailer ride around the farm village, a chance to meet a calf, and roast a whole wild boar. To register, click ‘Going’ on the event’s Facebook page and then pay at the gate.

Loved it all. My kind of event, my kind of people, my kind of eats! Looking forward to your Obi town stream (our backyard). Thanks a bunch!
Love these videos. So real…showing the weather and the surroundings. Very reminiscent of my earlier times in northern Kyushu. I wish I had lived in that area for more than one year. Five years in the Tokyo area. I loved my time near Fukuoka at Itazuke Air Base Administrative Annex as a high school student reveling in the Japan culture with a solo trip to Expo ‘70.
Thanks to John Tanaka for the super chat,,,, enjoyed the beer!!!
Nice event to connect kids to agriculture. I wish you had tried the slack line. The amao strawberry growers seem more "up to date" but mostly Japanese agriculture seems stuck in the early 20th century. There is a boom in edamame (green soybeans) varsities of soybeans in North America.
