「Catch&Eat」開催レポート “Catch & Eat” Recap
川と山と海が周りにそろう、山口県長門市。
2025年7月、長門の自然をまるごと味わう1泊2日の「Catch&Eat 親子で育てる、ひと夏の食体験」を開催いたしました。
Nestled in Nagato City, Yamaguchi—where rivers, mountains, and the sea come together—
we hosted “Catch & Eat: A Summer Food Experience for Families,” a one-night, two-day program in July 2025, designed to immerse participants in the region’s natural bounty.
自力で取って食べるまでの最高の野遊び体験
The ultimate nature experience — catching and eating with your own hands.
SOIL Nagatoyumotoから車で10分。到着した川の前で、まずはじめたのは竹を使った竿の製作。 最初は少し恥ずかしそうにしていた子どもたちも、自分の竿を手にして、川に糸を垂らすうちに表情が変わり、真剣な眼差しに。
大人も子供も自然に夢中になる時間。
釣り上げた瞬間の歓声と、親も子も見せる笑顔があふれ、温かい空気に包まれました。
はじめは魚も触りたくないと言っていた子も、後半になると「触ってみたい！」との声。
夜はSOIL Nagatoyumotoの1Fにあるイタリアン「TARU」へ。自分たちで捕まえた魚やエビをピザにしてみんなで食べる、シンプルだけど特別な時間がそこにありました。
参加者の方からは「数時間で子どもの成長を感じることのできる素晴らしい体験でした」といった声をいただき、これからもこのまちだからできる自然体験を作り続けていきます。
イベントの様子はこちら
Just a 10-minute drive from SOIL Nagatoyumoto, the experience began by the riverside, where participants first crafted their own fishing rods using bamboo.
At first, the children seemed a little shy, but as they held their handmade rods and cast their lines into the water, their expressions quickly changed—turning into focused, intent gazes.
It was a moment where both adults and children became fully immersed in nature.
Cheers echoed as fish were caught, and warm smiles spread across faces, creating a gentle and joyful atmosphere.
Some children who were hesitant to even touch the fish at the beginning later found themselves saying, “I want to try!”—a small but meaningful shift.
In the evening, everyone gathered at TARU, the Italian restaurant on the first floor of SOIL Nagatoyumoto.
Using the fish and shrimp they had caught, participants made their own pizzas and shared a simple yet truly special meal together.
One participant shared, “It was an incredible experience where I could see my child grow in just a few hours.”
We will continue creating nature-based experiences that can only be found in this town.
Take a look at moments from the event.
