This event showcases the specialty products of Kurotaki Village, particularly products created through collaboration across the primary, secondary and tertiary industries, such as Kurotaki white cucumber, a traditional Yamato vegetable, pickles, and cookies made by the “Nes” who live in this forested village. It also introduces visitors to the wonders of living in a mountain village and the charismatic villagers (Kurotaki-bito). * “Ne” is a term of endearment used in Kurotaki Village with a girl/woman that is older than yourself, while “gottsuo” means treating someone to a meal in the local dialect, so “Ne-no-gottsuo” means “Ne’s treats.”
Summer is here! In Niigata, that means snacking on edamame beans! You can find Niigata’s delicious chamame-variety edamame – great with a beer – here at N’ESPACE. Also available is pleasantly light and refreshing amazake that some refer to as a “drinkable IV drip” and is perfect for the summer heat. If you’re looking for traditional crafts, how about a Murakami carved lacquerware (tsuishu) sake cup or accessory?
