While enjoying local cuisine including Akita specialty Inaniya Udon noodle comparison, I went to see the local character event "Joi Rock Festival 2014"

The local character participates in various local events and carries out activities to appeal his own local, but as deep as the interaction between the characters is deep, you can see the fun stage with breath. "Events held at Fukuchiyama in Kyoto"Gathered in Akita this time, I summarized the appearance of the local character event" Yogi Rock Festival 2014 "held at Nakaichi Festival 2.

As lunch came near here, Akita specialty稲 玉 UdonWhen it came down to the shop of the store, there was a product called taste comparison of raw noodles and dried noodles so I ordered it.


This is raw noodles. The cross section is round and thin udon and there is stiffness.


This raw noodle is thinly stretched and dried, which becomes dry noodles. The dry noodle feels light and has a thin, flat cross section and has it with chopsticks. Although Kosi does not exist, it is easy to eat, and the amount is likely to get much more.


There are few shops offering raw noodles. It was a valuable experience unique to local people.


When I go to the stage againScop warrior Jami Serion(Yuzawa City, Akita Prefecture) has appeared.


First of allScoop ShamisenTuning.


I play "Tan Tanta Katan, Tata Tang Tan" with a bee.

When you are checking outNamahagePassed by behind and went.


In this shop, you can see Namahage which invites you.


When walking while thinking that the lobby of the returning Akita Airport port is "regrettable, regrettable", "Rice gruel"I discovered. This is prepared by the airport to allow people to leave at the airport and those who watch for them to have conversation even if they are separated by thick glass. However, it was not useful because there was no one to see off alone on a single trip.


There is the power that you can attract each other 's fans to each local event through the interaction between the characters in your local character. Although you can only work in that region, there are many characters that show a very interesting performance, so you can taste the delicious food of the land if you stay at the expedition destination. Why do not you follow chasers that you are interested in as a trigger to your journey.
