Mr. Shimaji took Saturday, October 19th and Sunday, October 20th off for his annual rice harvest. He called to let us know that he had once again ridden the rice harvesting machine and harvested the new rice crop.


Shimaji : "I've finished harvesting the rice again this year. It looks like it's going to be a good harvest this year too. I'm really looking forward to it. I can't wait to eat the new rice. Of course, I'll write all the details in my newsletter, so look forward to it."

I received a phone call from her, and she sounded so happy and excited. Please come and see Shimaji-san, who will be refreshed, on Saturday, October 26th and Sunday, October 27th.


Shimaji: "Every time, I'm reminded that life is a matter of luck, connections, and favoritism. Let's cherish our encounters with people and enjoy life."
