Broadcast every Thursday at 10 PM on BS Nittele, 'Naomi Noen' is a program closely following the real rural life practiced by actress Naomi Zaizen. In the broadcast at 10 PM on Thursday, April 23, we will fully enjoy the taste of spring harvested at the farm!
Spring has arrived! April has suddenly become warmer. Lots of strong greenery has grown in the Zaizen family's fields as well. Among them, the takana (mustard greens) shone exceptionally green! Previously on the program, we planted two types: Kuju takana and Miike takana. Do you all remember? First, we will harvest these two types of takana. They are both called takana, but what are the differences? When you think of takana, pickles are familiar, but they are actually delicious in salads too...!
Furthermore, another spring delicacy makes an appearance this time! Fatsia sprouts, which can only be eaten during this season. Speaking of fatsia sprouts... tempura! The tastes of spring that can only be enjoyed during this season lined the dining table. Eating seasonal foods in season! This is exactly the charm of country living.
In the second half of the program, the Oita Native Species Project 2026 begins!
Last year, what Naomi Noen put effort into was the cultivation of Oita native species such as Sorin pumpkins and white eggplants. They grew splendidly, were harvested, eaten, and new seeds were saved... Finally, this time we will plant those seeds. The Oita Native Species Project begins this year too!
■ What is Naomi Noen...

Actress Naomi Zaizen has been practicing such a lifestyle in her hometown of Oita for over 15 years and has been attracting attention. The program closely follows the Zaizen family! With no script and no planned scenarios, what kind of life is the 'unvarnished Zaizen life'?
