Charms of Minamiboso (13) Jiroemu

じろえむ

Inaba family, also known as the Jiroemu by locals, have been farmers for generations in Miyoshi, Minamiboso. Today, the family grows and produces organic rice, vegetables, and free-range fertilized eggs. In 1997, Yoshikazu Inaba, a 14th generation descendant, started a farmer’s restaurant at his house. Visitors are invited into their 300-year-old farmhouse, where they are served a variety of country style dishes, using ingredients sourced from their farm. Surrounded by the gentle forest, this is a perfect spot to experience the rustic simplicity of the Japanese countryside. Reservations required.
