Fukuchiyama’s “FARMERS TABLES” This seasonal food event, held in Fukuchiyama City, Kyoto Prefecture, features local ingredients from Fukuchiyama and Tamba. It’s a hugely popular local event, featuring restaurants, sweets, and cafes from Fukuchiyama City, as well as booths selling seasonal vegetables and fruit from farmers. It’s a food festival where everyone can enjoy their beloved town. The organizers’ desire to spread awareness of Fukuchiyama’s charm and Nishida Kogyo’s desire to contribute to the local community came together, making the Farmers Tables event in Nakatsu a reality. It’s starting to become a trend for visitors to Nakatsu to travel from Osaka to Fukuchiyama and try the food at our brick-and-mortar store.
