Bakeries gathered at Panstock and Stock for the "Mugi Fest" which always drew long lines

Wheat is the main ingredient in bread. Just like new rice and new buckwheat, wheat also has a seasonal flavor called "new wheat."

The "Barley Festival" is a nationwide event that was started to allow people to enjoy the unique taste of new wheat.

This is a harvest festival organized by the NPO Shinmai Collection, to give thanks for the unique flavor of new wheat and the blessings of nature.

In Fukuoka, the Wheat Festival is held in August when the harvest season for new wheat begins. Every year, bakeries that support the new wheat collection gather at "Pan Stock" in Hakozaki and "Stock" in Nishinakasu.

An exhibition and sale of special bread made with new wheat was held and was a huge success, with long lines forming every time.

The online "Barley Festival 2020" will be held on Monday, August 10th at 10 am. I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of bread menus will be available using new barley from Kyushu.

With so many popular stores gathering, we expect to be inundated with orders, but for those who are lucky enough to get some, we hope you enjoy the taste of freshly harvested wheat, the aroma of freshly ground wheat, and the deliciousness of this seasonal bread! (Text by Furugo Daisuke)
