First of all, trying to eat from Imabari 's B class gourmet which is also the venue, baked pigeon egg rice is a bowl of rice bowls with baked pigs and half-baked fried eggs on rice.


Break fried eggs and mix.


When we mix well together and eaten with baked pigs and rice together, the compatibility with baked pigs with sweet sauce taste and rich taste yellow is outstanding. It is an item that has been evaluated as "delicious among B grade gourmets". This time it is easy to make for stalls, but in shops in Imabari cityFull-grain pork cutlet eggsYou can eat.

It is a feature of Fuchuaki after Bingo bowl, which tossed bean sprouts from okonomiyaki in Hiroshima and changed roses to mince.


The surface of buckwheat is fragrant and fragrant with the fat from mince, and compatibility with sauce is also perfect. It was a feeling like Hiroshima's Okonomiyaki which is easy to eat, with its volume feeling and its belly swollen.


A table is prepared in the shopping district, and you can also eat the items purchased at the B-1 Grand Prix venue.


A group dances dance with onlookers also appears ......


We were able to taste the atmosphere unique to the festival besides the local character and local gourmets, such as the street performances are done.


Toru FuruyaThere was also a happening due to the weather, such as Mr. Talk show was canceled on the first day due to the influence of the snow, but a 2 day event where many people gathered yet. At the end, all the characters gather and close the curtain with a memorial shoot.


It is difficult to call a person to an event, but a person who visited the B-1 Grand Prix for the first time seems interested in the local character and the person who visited the local character event went to the B-1 Grand Prix We saw the scene where each event was helping each other, such as heading to the venue. Not only at Imabari ABC Festival but also when such local events are held, not only events of interest but also other events held at the same time may have new discoveries.
