Kakunodate is a historical castle town that has thrived since the Edo period. Akita was ruled by the Satake clan, and the Kakunodate of today is the domain of Satake Yoshichika who was the first deputy of the Satake Clan of Kakunodate, and his birthplace still retains its former appearance. The history of Kakunodate as a cherry blossom site began when the feudal lord of the Satake domain who loved cherry blossoms brought in a weeping cherry from Kyoto and planted in his garden.

What Is Kiritanpo? Yanagida Kiritanpo Shop- An Introduction to One of Akita's Traditional Menu Items This video titled "Nippon Teshigotokan × Yanagida Kiritanpo shop (ニッポン手仕事図鑑 × 柳田きりたんぽ店)" was created by "Nippon Teshigotozukan." It summarizes how Kiritanpo, a specialty of Akita Prefecture in Japan's Tohoku region, is made. Kiritanpo is an old and historical Japanese food using rice. It is similar to Mochi (Japanese rice cakes) in some ways. It is shown at 0:23 in the video. Kazuno city in Akita Prefecture is known as the birthplace of Kiritanpo. In the city, there are many old shops where Kiritanpo is handmade and a lot of Kiritanpo artisans make superb Kiritanpo.

The Masterful Skill of Yanagida Kiritanpo Shop Source :YouTube screenshot Yanagida Kiritanpo shop, shown in the video, is an old shop established in 1969 (Showa 44). It makes Kiritanpo using a blend of “Menkoina” and “Kazuno no moeminori,” both of which are local Akita rice varieties. These days most Kiritanpo is made by machine, but Yanagida Kiritanpo shop has continued to hand-make them, and so they retain the taste of home cooking. The artisans of Yanagida Kiritanpo shop shape Kiritanpo so that the grains stay in tact but still allow the flavors to seep into the rice. It is shown from 1:49. In the interview from 1:19, an artisan says, “I like Kiritanpo because it is airy between grains and absorbs soup well.” This is where hand-making overshadows what a machine can do. The trick to great tasting Kiritanpo is grilling it to a golden brown color (3:13). The artisan continues at 2:05 saying, "Kiritanpo was a pioneer in conveying Japanese food culture abroad." Enjoy the Amazing Kiritanpo of Akita Prefecture! Photo： Miso Kiritanpo When you visit Akita Prefecture, a hidden gem of traditional Japanese culture, don’t forget to enjoy Kiritanpo nabe, a local specialty.

Summary of "Yanagida Kiritanpo Shop" Photo：Kiritanpo hot pot This article’s 4-minute-long video introduces how to make Akita’s kiritanpo in detail. According to the artisan (from 2:46), it may look easy, but it is hard to stick rice evenly onto the skewers. The food we eat today is thanks to the art and of accomplished artisans.

It is the only large dog among the six types of dogs native to Japan and stands about 61-67 cm tall, with a life span of 10-13 years, which is the average for large dogs.

The Akita dog's ancestors lived in the city of Odate, Akita Prefecture, in the Tohoku region of Japan. After dogfighting became popular in Japan, the Akita was crossed with the Tosa Inu and Mastiffs and became larger, which led to their current form today. Since they are large dogs, they need to be trained from when they are puppies and need to be walked regularly, as they were originally hunting dogs.

His loyalty is still praised today. The original Akita dog was bred as the Akita Matagi (a hunting dog), but the number of Akita dogs has declined dramatically in recent years due to the growing popularity of small, easy-to-keep dogs and other indoor breeds. However, in recent years, the Akita has begun to attract attention again! There was a news that an Akita dog was sent as a gift to the Russian figure skater gold medalist Alina Zagitova, and she named it "Masaru." In addition to Zagitova, many foreigners have become fascinated by the Akita, and more and more people are adopting them as pets.
