At the beginning of June the wheat fields that were still green turn golden, and harvest is about to begin.
Otofuke, Japan’s top wheat-producing town.
After the harvest, straw rolls rise up in the fields to become beds for cows.
The harvested wheat is reborn as delicious bread and udon.
Tokachi is full of excellent bakeries and pastry shops.
Prices are very reasonable, with bread in the 100-yen range and cakes in the 200-yen range.
Seeing the crops being grown like this naturally brings a feeling of gratitude for the food we eat.
