投稿の詳細: ふるさとフェア　 Suzaka Furusato Fair in Tokyo

10月10日（金）、11日（土）と
二日間にわたり東京大山商店街
で開かれた「信州須坂ふるさとフェア」
に参加してきました。

庶民の町の、活気のあるアーケード
の商店街で須坂の農産物の販売
と須坂のPRをしてきたのです。

ほんの10平米ほどのスペースですが、
地方の市町村が物産展を開催する
常設のフェアスペースで、この後
長野市なども予定されていました。

こういう場所では私の様な無名の
ワインなど飛ぶように売れる訳も
なく、もっぱら野菜や果物（りんご
に葡萄）の売り子としての時間の
方が多かったですね。

定番のおやきはもちろん
アケビやイガつきの栗、
サトイモにいんげん豆や
ごぼうが売れ筋です。

それでも葡萄の荷造りの毎日
の日常から離れて、自分たちの
作ったものを都会で売るのは楽しい
もので、新たな発見もあります。

麻布では余り売れなかったジュース類
が売れたり（となりで生のりんごを
売っているにも関わらず）、全く
期待していなかった巨峰アイスワインが
何気なく買われていったり。他での
売れ筋だったシードルが結局1本も
売れなかったり。

それにしても、直前のお知らせににも
関わらず訪ねてきてくれた友人知人の
皆さんには感謝します。今度
ゆっくり飲みたいものです。

I participated in Shinshu Suzaka Bringing
Hometown to town Fair held at Oyama Shopping
Street in Tokyo on the 10th and 11th.

Agricultural produces were sold and
Suzaka Tourist Information were introduced
to the people at the roofed animated shopping street
in the downtown residential area.

The shop has only 10square meters but offered as
the event shop and rural towns were eager to
use the space to sell its products and introduce
themselves. Nagano city was to visit there in the
same month of October.

In such a daily life area, my wines
were not exptected to be sold well and
I sold vegesm apples and grapes most of
the time.

Oyaki sold well as always and moutnain
fruit, shelled chestnuts, sticky potatoes,
beans were popular.

Despite of the poor sales of wines,
it was fun to join such an event apart
from every day routin work of packing
grapes, especially to sell our own produce
in big city like Tokyo and there were new
findings, too.

Even though apples were sold, my juices
were sold rather quickly which had not been
sold well at Azabu in summer. The most expensive
Kyoho Ice wines were purchased by just passers by.
Cidres were not sold at all which had been sold
well eleswhere.

In any case, I thank you very much
for my friends who
visited me with very short notice.
Let's have a drink at next time I see
you.
