Full description

This property is in the Funagatamada district of Funagata Town, adjacent to the Funagatamada district of Okura Village. The site overlooks where the Mogami River flows gently below. / Built in Showa 44 and somewhat renovated since. The number of rooms is neither particularly many nor few. With a shed in front of the house, you can envision a well-functioning lifestyle. / But most importantly, this property's greatest selling point is the expansive land with diverse food crops planted on it. A major strength is the large attached field. These include 3 persimmon trees, a chestnut tree, a pear tree, Japanese aralia, akebia, bracken fern, Japanese ginger, and even a weeping cherry. Let's imagine a countryside life drawing on these field crops. / In spring when snow melts and the weeping cherry shifts to leaf-only stages, bracken fern shoots emerge from dead grass. After soaking overnight to remove bitterness, serve as bracken-fern pasta over rice. Satisfied, you glance up at the clear May sky to find Japanese aralia buds smiling at you. That rich, natural flavor, crispy fried in tempura, piping hot. Early summer still brings bracken. In the sweltering depths of summer, you crave cold noodles. Oh, there's Japanese ginger! Hearty cold broth with abundant seasonings nourishes body and soul. By late summer, it's fun to watch akebia fruits swell. In autumn, enjoy both the split-open flesh and the bitter skin stuffed with miso, that subtle bitterness becomes addictive. And autumn's bounty is at its peak: persimmons, chestnuts, pears all await. Gaze at the full moon in evening gratitude. / A house where the owner's refinement is palpable.
