“Neighborhood product exhibition 5th seafood large HIT fair” held-Saving surplus ingredients with corona

2021.02.26

Hoshino Resorts OMO7 Asahikawa, a city sightseeing hotel that enjoys Asahikawa, will hold the “Neighborhood Product Exhibition 5th Seafood Large HIT Fair” from February 15th to March 12th, 2021. I will. At the participation event of the “#Energetic Masu Project” promoted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, you can enjoy the neighborhood gourmet of 7 stores using luxurious ingredients at once while staying at the hotel.
Initially, it was scheduled to end on January 31, 2021, but the first beef fair, the second tuna scallop fair, the third sea urchin salmon roe fair, and the fourth crab have been held so far. Since the shrimp fair was well received, we decided to hold an additional 5th edition. This time, we will hold a fair using seafood centered on Hokke, Ika, and Octopus.

Due to the refraining from going out and the stagnation of exports due to the spread of corona infection, surplus foodstuffs are increasing and the price is falling. Agriculture, forestry and fishery products grown by producers with time and effort lose their value if the proper shipping time is missed. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has launched this project to promote the sale of high-impact items. OMO7 Asahikawa supports this project as a hotel that connects travelers and locals, and will participate by involving neighbors. Travelers can eat delicious food and help save producers.

"Neighborhood product exhibition" where local gourmets gather You can enjoy Asahikawa's delicious food at once in the hotel

At the neighborhood product exhibition, 7 restaurants around OMO7 Asahikawa will participate and serve dishes using ingredients that cannot be missed in season. In addition to cooking, “Washoku Kakuuchi Ue Countryside” will sell sake, and “-Freehouse- THE YEAST” will sell craft beer! OMO is a “city sightseeing hotel that raises the excitement of travel, not just sleeping.” Even those who are concerned about eating out at Corona Sorrow can purchase and enjoy Asahikawa’s unique dishes at the neighborhood product exhibition without going out of the hotel.

In addition, you can eat the purchased dishes not only in the completely private guest rooms, but also in the “OMO Cafe & Bar”, which has entrances and exits on all sides and excellent ventilation. As the demand for meals and take-out in the hotel is increasing in Corona, as a hotel that connects travelers and locals, we will work as a team with our neighbors to support food consumption and make travelers enjoy traveling. I would like you to enjoy one of the gourmet foods.

Due to the popularity of the neighborhood product exhibition, the "Neighborhood Product Exhibition 5th Seafood University HIT Fair" was additionally held.

From November 11, 2020 to January 31, 2021, the 1st to 4th neighborhood product exhibitions will be held. We were able to sell a total of 2,556 meals in about three and a half months. We have received favorable feedback from our customers and neighbors, and we have decided to hold the 5th “Seafood Dai HIT Fair” additionally. Using seafood centered on Hokke, Ika, and Octopus, you can enjoy delicious dishes that your neighbors have used, such as sushi that is carefully selected from the ingredients and aqua pazza that has a gentle taste. You can enjoy it.

Voices from customers in the past implementation

・ I am very glad that I have a neighborhood product exhibition and I was able to eat dinner without going outside! !!
・ Good product exhibition, easy because you don’t have to go outside.

Voice from neighbors

・ This project was a business in this Corona disaster and became a major pillar of sales. It was a good opportunity for various people to know the existence of our restaurant, as we were able to taste the ingredients produced in Hokkaido using our special cooking method. In some cases, we actually visit the store and deliver it through neighborhood product exhibitions and accommodations, which makes us very happy. After delivery, we leave everything to the staff of OMO7 Asahikawa, but we have a track record of selling out every day. I’m really grateful. (ENOTECA IL GENTILE)

・ It was good to have such a place where tourists could get to know the shop and enjoy local sake while it was difficult for tourists to come to the shop due to the corona virus. (Japanese sake Kakuuchi Ue countryside)

・ Invited this time, I offered a spice curry that uses abundantly rare onions called Sapporoki in the spirit of trying anything. We have not provided it at the main store yet, so we provided it as a demonstration test, but it was very well received and we decided to provide it at the main store from next month. Thank you for the opportunity to take on a new challenge! (Fukuyoshi Cafe)
