Under the company\u2019s philosophy \u201cto create something before anyone else does that will be helpful to the world,\u201d OREC Co., Ltd., an agricultural-machinery producer based in Yame City of Fukuoka Prefecture, will open the facility as a branding base. Located on the northwest corner of the Akasaka Intersection, the four-story building will have cafe spaces on the first three floors. The cafe floors will have a unique concept to connect guests with agriculture and food, as well as a showroom for the company\u2019s products, a library with 250 books about agriculture, food and manufacturing, and an open space for events. The kitchen will serve okome-latte (rice latte), an original beverage made with Fukuoka-sourced organic rice, and seven more organic beverages without added sugar, preservatives or food colorings. The alternative sweeteners are rice and sweet-rice malt (<em>amazake<\/em>; made of fermented rice,) and there will also be organic domestic tea leaves such as sencha and hojicha. Cups of Japanese-traditional <em>yomogi<\/em> herbal tea and organic, fair-trade coffee will also be served. OREC, a brand that supports organic farming with its weeding machines, will demonstrate its concept of &#8220;living with plants&#8221; by holding workshops such as wild-grass tea making and herbal soap making at its event space too. <\/p>\n<p><strong>OREC Greens Lab Fukuoka<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/oGNqSYEXQLRuYWBr6\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">1-13-1 Akasaka, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka <\/a><br \/>\n\u2022 10:00~19:00<br \/>\n\u2022 Closed: Sun., Mon. and hol.<br \/>\n\u2022 Menu: okome-latte \u00a5500, okome-latte <em>sencha<\/em> (green tea) \u00a5550, okome-latte <em>aojiru<\/em> (green juice) \u00a5550, <em>hojicha<\/em> (roasted green tea) \u00a5400, <em>yomogi<\/em> tea \u00a5400, coffee \u00a5400 *tax not included<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/orec-drink.jpg?resize=1400%2C934&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"934\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-127207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/orec-drink.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/orec-drink.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/orec-drink.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/orec-drink.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/orec-fn-1.jpg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-127208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/orec-fn-1.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/orec-fn-1.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/orec-fn-1.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/orec-fn-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/orec-fn-2.jpg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-127209\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/orec-fn-2.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/orec-fn-2.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/orec-fn-2.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/orec-fn-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/orec-fn-3.jpg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-127210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/orec-fn-3.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/orec-fn-3.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/orec-fn-3.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/orec-fn-3.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OREC Greens Lab Fukuoka will soon open in Akasaka as a new hub to connect people, goods and experiences related to agriculture and food.
