From the website: "Magonote Travel is a travel operator rooted in Koriyama, best known for its project known as ‘FoodCamp’. Winner of the Ministry of Environment’s Good Life Award in 2019, FoodCamp is not just about bringing the farm to the table by using local produce, but also bringing the table to the farm. Excellent chefs from around Fukushima are linked to local farmers and producers, to present a unique, one-time, outdoor dining experience, custom-made around high-quality local products right at the place where they are produced. We provide a food truck for the chefs to prepare the meals on-site, as well as door-to-door transportation from anywhere in Koriyama City. Come taste Fukushima produce the way its meant to be tasted!"
