The husband's sudden declaration of "becoming a farmer" arrived as a natural eater in the 29th year of Kumamoto.

Kumamoto Prefecture Asu County South Asu Village built 70 years of ancient houses. In 1994, Mr. Karubekai, a natural cuisine, and her husband and photographer, Mr. Nonaka, moved here from Fukuoka Prefecture with the goal of self-sufficiency. Cultivate the fields, grow rice and vegetables, cook rice in the stove, and heal the body with a five-right door bath boiled with firewood. Living with nature and eating nature ushered in the 29th year. Now, their dinner tables are filled with dishes that use home-grown vegetables.

　The sweetness of rice cooked in the flame of firewood takes a good flavor of the soup and a good salted plum vegetable side dish. The table of Mr. Karubeko, the natural cuisine, is rich and somewhat nostalgic. The vegetables in this season are widely used. They are planted by her husband and photographer Nobuyuan.

　Karabe was born in Fukuoka prefecture. When I went to a university in Fukuoka City, I met Mr. Nonaka, who was appointed to work as a takeout restaurant. Free and unrestrained, brave students and warm, down-to-earth, calm students in the wild. Because the common ground that they like to eat has changed for the better, so they got married. One day about half a year after the wedding, Mr. Nonaka made a fuss and announced that he "became a farmer." For unexpected things, of course, such things will happen, "even if I suddenly say this, I can't keep up with it."... I didn't say. Seeing that Nonaka said eagerly, "I want to create my own food without using pesticides and fertilizers, and aim to be self-sufficient," and agreed with a big smile on the grounds that "I can have a delicious day," so Karabe is not free. Find a place to move from there. Karube, 26, moved to the village of Nanasu at the age of 24.

　Having said that, two people with no experience in agriculture. The knowledge of 50 agricultural books that Mr. Nonaka crammed into his head in the library was useless once he stood in the fields and fields. What is the original "rice" in order to cultivate rice? "status. Unable to tell whether weeds or vegetables even sprout and sow, solve the problem of whether to stand forward or backward, or even grab a hoe. But it seems to be two people, even so will not feel pessimistic. "the first agricultural life between loved ones was a new experience every day, just like an adventure," Nonaka recalled. "

　Follow the example of previous farmers, do not use pesticides and fertilizers, while confirming the state of the soil and the growth of seedlings, while feeling that it is necessary to cultivate each time, or give compost. Sometimes vegetables that can survive and grow in nature even if full of holes. While being moved by its vitality, enjoy every day of life. "even if there is failure, there are joys such as crop growth and shantytown harvest. I cherished the accumulation of a little happiness, "said Nonaka.

　Now, 4 inverse fields each year about 30 varieties of vegetables, home in front of about 100 ping of paddy rice cultivation. The harvested things are not sold and sent to the kitchen, and the daily meals are also enjoyed with processed products such as cut dried radishes and pickles. Perhaps because of his gratitude for "living and growing up in nature", Mr Karabe treats ingredients like treasures. Use without discarding potato skins, onion cores and mushroom shafts. The reason, says Mr Karabe, is that "naturally grown vegetables are full of the energy of the sun and the earth, and even small fragments have a deep taste". Once upon a time, when I was with me, I put the peeled taro into something fried on the dinner table. His blunt appearance said confusingly, "what on earth can I eat?" but it was unexpected or unexpected. This is stronger than the fruit flavor, even now think of it will drool, very delicious. )

　Mr. Karabe's cuisine, with home-grown vegetables as the protagonist, leads to the characteristics of vegetables in this season with minimal seasoning and cooking wisdom. Dopamine spewed out "yummy!" And "a little different, say affectionately" delicious. "the feeling of speaking. Although there is a sense of satisfaction in health, the stomach will not get heavier when you are full. It's more like getting lighter. It's incredible.

　When I watch the situation standing in the kitchen, you can see that you are doing a full sensory cooking. The texture of vegetables, the feel of putting a kitchen knife in the moment and the fragrance of standing up. Even for the same vegetables and seasonings, the taste will change depending on the temperature and physical condition, so the seasoning and cooking depends on that day. "the ingredients right in front of us now" do not rely on measurement, believe in your own feelings, and cook.

　The best fan of such a small dish is Mr. Nonaka. After emigration, as a lifelong career, he took pictures of his life in Nanasu village and Xiaobai's cooking. In 2003, he was a private photo album that copied daily life, and won the award of "Photography in the New Century" for young photographers. My job as a photographer has increased, wearing two pairs of straw sandals with farmers. Then, in 2008, Karabe published a book, "Nature gives me Love Rice" (Anonymous Studio), which was filmed by Yonaka. Although it was an unusual cookbook at the time with no weight, it attracted the support of many readers and reprinted it repeatedly.

　The two men take the ancient houses in Nanasu Village as their strongholds, and are closely related to the city through the joint work of cooking and photos. While working as a lecturer in the cooking classroom as a natural cuisine, Mr. Karabe is busy producing biscuits and agro-processed products ordered from all over the country every day. "from the beginning of parenting, the fields were almost handed over to the wild," he shrugs, but the foundation of living with nature and eating nature has not changed.

　In this book, Mr. Karabe's sentence is written.
