We also saw people enjoying comparing Nada Gogo’s sake, which can be tasted for as low as 100 yen per glass, and people looking for their own pairings that would bring out the deliciousness. Visitors commented, “It was fun walking around the venue while wondering what to eat,” and “Living in Kobe, I don’t have the chance to eat Kobe’s unique gourmet food, so it was nice to get to know the deliciousness of Kobe gourmet food once again. “I was happy to be able to eat delicious food under the blue sky during the day with a glass of Japanese sake in hand.” A shopping experience where you can choose ingredients while talking directly with producers

Exhibitor lineup. The fresh vegetables lined up at the booth were a big hit. Producers and visitors could be seen happily chatting while shopping, saying things like, “This vegetable is really cheap!” and “This vegetable is delicious if you eat it this way.” When we spoke to the person who purchased the product, he said, “I came here for the gourmet food, but I was happy to be able to buy safe and secure vegetables delivered directly from the farm at a reasonable price.” Workshops unique to Kobe that can only be experienced here

In addition to an “original coloring badge making workshop” in collaboration with Kobe’s theatrical aquarium “AQUARIUM x ART atoa”, a panel exhibition to learn about “the importance of the future of the ocean” and a quiz competition, there will also be a fish doctor event. There is a “Creature Contact Corner” where you can touch sea creatures while listening to explanations. In conjunction with this event, we have developed special projects such as “Complete coloring book!! Encyclopedia of all 183 types of fish in the Kobe sea”. Also appearing is the Kansai-based theater unit “Kobe Sailor Boys,” all of whom are teenagers! The booth was filled with lots of fun, including helping with coloring and the animal interaction corner, participating in a quiz competition, and reading a picture story of sea creatures. Risto Sakimoto of Kobe Sailor Boys (pictured on the right, left), who appeared on the 3rd, said, “It was an event that I thought would be interesting no matter what I did, and I was very happy to be able to play with you all!Every single one brings back memories.” I’m really happy to see it on badges and pictures!” The expressions on the faces of the children participating in the workshop are very serious! They were engrossed in their work while talking with their parents. When Dr. Fish’s explanation started, the reaction was full of “huh~” and “oh~”! At the popular “Creature Contact Corner”, I was impressed by the sight of curious children, with some children timidly touching the animals even though they were scared, and others smiling and saying, “It’s so cute!” In addition, the special project “Complete with coloring pages! Encyclopedia of all 183 types of Kobe’s sea fish” has been successfully completed! The panels will be on display at atoa from November 9th (Sat) to November 17th (Sun). In addition, we will hold workshops that will let you experience the charm of Kobe, which is rich in nature, such as “making colored pencils using raw wood,” “making coffee jute bags,” “eco-printing experience using handmade paper and herbs,” and “experience group planting.” One person who actually tried out the planting experience commented, “The flowers that are unique to this time of year were very soothing.I would like to carefully grow them at home.” Organizer’s comment We were able to successfully complete the first event of “Kobe Gourmet Discovery,” which was launched with the idea that “I want more people to know about the charm of Kobe’s food and to visit Kobe.” There are many hidden gems of Kobe’s food, including meat, alcohol, and agricultural products. We were able to introduce only a few of them at this event, but we hope that through this event you will rediscover the
deliciousness of Kobe and that you will want to visit Kobe again. . Thank you very much to everyone who came to visit us and everyone who cooperated with the event.
