The rainy season has begun in Iwate Prefecture, but this year there have been fewer rainy days than usual.
The weather has been pleasant lately.

Meanwhile, the early-ripening blueberries are starting to turn color.
The harvest season has finally arrived.

An annual event is the "first come, first served" competition with the wild birds.
"Who will find it first, us or the birds?"
It seems we got a head start on harvesting this year!

The harvested blueberries are processed into homemade blueberry sauce for shaved ice.

A delicious blueberry sauce, made with careful attention to each and every berry, will soon be ready.

Please wait just a little longer until the product goes on sale. We hope you enjoy it!
