Mayor Sasaki of Hokuryu Town and Ide Tomoki, CEO of Idean
The connection between Ide Tomoki, the representative of Kitchen Car Idean (Tokachi Genki Village), and Hokuryu Town began when he visited Honbetsu Town during a "Visit to Himawari Rice Users" event held in mid-July.
It all started with a meeting between Ide Tomoki, deputy director of the Honbetsu Town Chamber of Commerce and Industry Youth Division, and Sasaki Yasuhiro, mayor of Hokuryu Town.
Ide Tomoki sells Shihoro beef curry from a food truck. When we visited, we discovered that the rice used in the curry is "Nanatsuboshi" produced in Hokuryu Town!
When Mayor Sasaki heard about this, he invited them to "please come and visit Hokuryu Town with your food truck!", which led to this visit.
A talk by Tokachi Genki Village representative Tomoki Ide
"We have been selling Shihoro beef curry for 40 years. We also use Hokuryu Town sunflower rice.
Another curry we sell is "Tomato Gyu Curry," which uses pesticide-free tomatoes and onions from Honbetsu Town.
"Imo Mochi" has been in business for 50 years, and I am the third generation owner. We make our products by hand using "Tokachi potatoes" that have been aged for two years. Please give them a try!
The rice from Hokuryu Town is very popular among our regular customers and is highly acclaimed for its delicious taste!
"Previously, when we switched to rice grown in Hokuryu Town, our customers said to us, 'Has the rice changed? It's tastier!'" Ide-san said with a smile, expressing his joy at the words.
