[WONDER HOPPER Vol.3] Announcement of the Event

WONDER HOPPER vol.3

There are beautiful landscapes that can only be found in that particular place.

There are nature's blessings born from that climate.

And there are chefs who are deeply rooted in that land.

“WONDER HOPPER “

It is a day to see the land with your own eyes, taste it,

feel the breeze, bask in the light, and enjoy a meal.

Let’s gather around the table together.

Let’s pause to enjoy the scenery.

And to feel the landscapes we have yet to see,

let’s start pedaling our bicycles.


Meals, rides, beautiful scenery, and simple conversations. We want to share all of this with the many friends we love. The event called WONDER HOPPER is what happens when that desire takes shape.


This year, in early spring, we held the event in Tenryu, Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, with the cooperation of our old friends Happy&Slappy, using their shop as our starting point. Although it was early spring and still February, and we were worried about the cold, we were blessed with good weather and were able to have a pleasant and fulfilling day.

During the ride, we were able to experience the great outdoors nurtured by the Tenryu River, and for dinner, we were able to enjoy sushi made with not just fish, but also vegetables and gibier, prepared by Maru-san.

This opportunity also brought new encounters between people, and we were able to see the scenery develop into new connections.

The second WONDER HOPPER of 2024 will be held in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture. The date is Wednesday, June 19th, and like the last one, a river will be a key theme. However, while it is still a river, the scenery is completely different, and you will be able to enjoy the nature and culture of the Nagara River basin.
