◆About the original song "Unconcave Ohagi

Song written and composed by Mariko Yoshino, illustrated by Pirika, produced by Izu Ohagami's Ohagi

This song was created in order to make "ohagi", a traditional food, more familiar to children, and to help many children become interested in "ohagi" and "ingredients" (= the starting point of food education).

The questions include: "What is the bean paste and soybean flour made of? How is ground sesame made? Why do we eat o-hagi on the far shore? We hope that nursery school and kindergarten teachers and other adults who are close to children will communicate with children about these simple questions.

We believe that the first step in nutrition education is to embody the interest in "food" and the "joy of listening and knowing" in conversations with children, using this song as a starting point.

We hope that many of you will sing along with us with a smile.
