From Organic Farm to Table with Chef Tashi (Cooking Session)
Hello nature lovers!
Another well-spent day with nature lovers,
Once again, we had the pleasure of experiencing ENOWA's successfully implemented model of circular bio-economy through harvesting fresh vegetables from organic farm to the healthy plate. The thriving organic farm, unique skills in framing and cooking, and hospitality of warm-hearted staff made our day very special.
Many Thanks to Chief Tashi Gyamtso and the amazing people in
Yufuin Enowa. We are looking forward to more collaborations in the near future.
