September 23, 1999.
"Oratche" Dairy Kingdom. The memorial event for the second year anniversary of the Kingdom's founding. Tanna, Kannamicho, Shizuoka Prefecture.


From September 23 to 26, the memorial event for the second anniversary of the "Oratche" Dairy Kingdom takes place in Tanna, Kannamicho. There are many events such as the flute concert, hands on milking, and potato treasure hunt. Although it was cloudy for the most part on the 23rd, many people gathered together. The potato treasure hunt is a sack full of potatoes and a guaranteed treasure (Tanna milk) for 200 yen. It is quite the bargain. There are also factories of homemade beer, ice cream, cake etc., and you can watch each factory through a glass wall. The soft ice cream made straight from a cow's milk is excellent in its rich taste. I recommend you try it.
