Culture of "buy to choose the things"

The other day,"Agriculture" feature articleFor, in the Jingumae"Kurkku (Crook)"I went to the interview. "Kurkku" is a kitchen, cafe, design, green, five departments of the library, "through the products and ingredients with a different story, respectively, to become a create opportunities to think about the environment," shop that is the goal. By Takeshi Kobayashi and Kazutoshi Sakurai"Ap bank"Of the project generated from the activity, seems pretty shop name, such as the singing of the birds he means "cucumber" in Finnish.


"Kurkku cafe" is the cafe sector in a good cafe vaulted ceiling is impressive feelings, there is a small roof garden on the roof, the audience can anyone come and go freely. Here, have vegetables such as various herbs and cherry tomatoes are grown, is little if seems good to eat or Tsu on the spot. Although I thought that "a space surrounded by this kind of green there in Shibuya is really valuable", referred to as the same this time interviewed the Shibuya ward office,"Community Harajuku hill"And good, it's a surprisingly some things to look.




Of the shop department "kurkku design" "In the interior goods and accessories, day have also sold such as crockery from supplies, as well as fun to look at the pleasant design to the eye, makes for even reading a commentary by persons of staff you. Recently, the was good buying in this shop, was a detergent called a "bird whistle (bird calls)," "Agro Natura Bio leaves". But full-scale that has been used for hunting, "bird whistle" Originally, when I sounded toward the sparrow, apparently reaction is or there, because the fun is to become feel could somehow conversation you is recommended.

Speaking towards the detergent and, when you wash the dishes in the type used diluted with water, and try to use diluted in the street, the first does not feel washed because of the weak foaming, I wonder if good in this? It states that. But dirt is to have fallen properly, there is no particular problem even to the next meal. So floating he is, I think that "I was not wash so much bubbling up to now, or really the kind was necessary no". Usually, daily necessities, such as, but had bought a casually near the things, that will be considered with the question a little even now wonder if important. In "kurkku" is of workshops have done on a regular basis, I feel that convinced even the there is a course called "Select and buy."

However, mass production is difficult commodity market price rises in order to deviate from the distribution channels of large (but there is also such as the higher price of the material itself), the fact even knew in my head also hard to the hand from such reasons . But is a contribution to the "environment" quite difficult to run, it is not surprisingly good feelings that seem to also as "I wonder if that can contribute a little bit" while extremely modest. Including the government, also, might Shibuya of the charm of the many such conscious high shops and community.
