At the Naka Towns Tourist Information Center in Kawagoe City, a birthday festival is sometimes held in, so I went there. Tokimo is the mascot character of Kawagoe City, which was born from the bell of time and Sweet Potato 🍠. His birthday is October 13 (Sweet Potato Day). His motto is Time is momey . (Time rings bells). On October 12th, Tokimo-chan will come to the Naka Towns Tourist Information Center.

A garden with a refreshing autumn breeze. In a spacious ~ space surrounded by Nature It was a day filled with all kinds of sounds. Band & Dance for Elementary School Students, Fascination with original songs, Idol Goichi who delivered an hour full of cuteness and fun. A boy who shows off mysterious sounds and mysterious stories Someone who reads (and memorizes!) an essay in a nice voice. ）、 A person who reads a Picture book to the sound of the koto. I'm really grateful to all the performers. It was a wonderful stage that I couldn't take my eyes off of every performance! ＊＊＊ For those who visit a roadside station during their journey I want you to enjoy the attached garden. Then you'll want to go into the garden. Let's do an Events! It was a live performance that I planned with the idea. In preparing the venue, the gardener prepared the path and stage area On the day of the event, the staff and performers set up from early in the morning. Children's fairs fly out of the markets venue, They livened up the Events with mobile Gacha Gacha and candy fishing. ＊＊＊ Where can you enjoy the flower park? Until Sunday, October 20.

Shanofu Shinshu Hand-Baked Rice Crackers Honpo On this day, Shokushinbo Kasai visited Shinshu Hand-Baked Senbei Honpo. It is a hand-baked rice cracker shop that has been open here for about 35 years. On the day of the event, we were guided by President Hiroko Kitahara, who also bakes rice crackers. When I entered the store, the first thing I thought of was the variety of products. Really, there were 🍘 so many types that Kawanishi, who likes rice crackers, could get lost Among them, there were really Many types and, including stained rice crackers and rakkasen. Popularity No,1 is glue No. 2 is doubled No. 3 is apple crackers Next, Nozawana wasabi Nozawana wasabi is rare, isn't it? Nozawana is often seen in Souvenirs shops in the prefecture, but "Nozawana wasabi" is hard to find! Apples, Nozawana, and wasabi are all Nagano specialties. Karin is a specialty of Suwa. Apricots, matcha, white sugar, brown sugar, shichimi, ichimi, miso, green onion miso, walnut miso, garlic, etc. Even in Nagano Prefecture, there is the largest type of rice cracker. I think so. Kasai's recommendations are "garlic" and "twice". Garlic is a gastronomical delicacies with a slight garlic flavor. The second rice cracker has a strong flavor, so you can enjoy the mellow taste of soy sauce. After all, it is hand-baked, so the crunch is the best, and if you like hard rice crackers, this is a recommended store. Among them, the most noteworthy product is "Fukutoku!! Some of you may understand it when you hear "Fukutoku". President Kitahara's grandfather made "Fukutoku". Unlike fortune cookies, fortune cookies have good luck charms inside!! Somehow, I wanted to revive it, and it seems that I was able to reprint it in the generation of President Kitahara. And after all, Shinshu hand-baked rice crackers are hand-baked & Taisha-mae!! It may be sold by hand, but when you visit Suwa Grand Shrine Main Shrine, the Soba (buckwheat noodles) ⛩ of Taisha Main Shrine's Torii (shrine gate), why don't you take a walk around the northern approach to the temple by all means, looking for your favorite flavor 🍘 and Souvenirs at the Shinshu hand-baked rice cracker honpo? ◎ Shinshu hand-baked rice crackers honpo 📍 〒392-0015 201 Nakasu, Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture (Suwa Grand Shrine Kita approach to the temple) ☎0266-58-1235 Business hours : Weekdays 9:30~16:30 (subject to change) : Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays 9:00~17:00 ◎Regular holiday : Open open all year

Thursday, October 3 — G Class: Tea Pan-Frying Experience at Miyazaki Sabou🍵 Today, third graders from four elementary schools across Gokase Town gathered at Miyazaki Sabou for a G class✍️💡…so I was able to observe their visit👀✨ We had considered skipping the tea-picking experience because of light rain, but the kids’ energy cleared the sky enough for a short session, so we did a little picking👏👏👏 Chanting “one bud, two leaves!” everyone happily hand-picked tea leaves🌿 After that, the group split into three teams to do 1) a factory tour, 2) a pan-frying experience, and 3) a tasting session✍️✨ 1) The factory was full of first-time sights! Different tea aromas drifted through the air, and just watching the tour felt soothing🤤💕 When told that a single tea leaf can become green tea, oolong tea, or black tea, the kids gasped “Whaaaat!?” with perfect reactions😳💮💮💮 lol 2) The pan-frying experience stemmed from what they heard on the tour: machines roast leaves at 200–300°C, so the kids nervously asked, “Is it hot!?”🤣 But trying it turned out to be fun🤩 They watched, fascinated, as the leaves dried and released a pleasant aroma, commenting “I like this smell!” and “But it’s tiring~💦” while learning the pan-fried tea production process😊 3) They learned about types of tea utensils and how to use them, the ideal water temperature for brewing, and other tips for making tasty tea, then each brewed and tasted pan-fried tea themselves🍵✨ One child said it smelled like corn soup, which surprised me, but apparently pan-fried tea is often said to have a corn-like flavor😮💡 The children’s sensitivities never cease to amaze me👏 They compared four teas by taste and tried to identify which was pan-fried tea, oolong, hojicha, or black tea. Many struggled, confused by the familiar colors and aromas🤣 Did you know? Taiwanese and Gokase oolong teas are closer in color to green tea rather than brown😏✏️ At the end, during the Q&A, the children asked sharp questions to the producers and summarized what they had learned✍️💫 The kids experienced the full charm of Gokase’s pan-fried tea and felt the producers’ passion😌 I hope they take pride in this local specialty and help weave the future of Gokase Town✨

UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage "Ara Odori" on Sunday, September 29 Ara Odori took place on Sunday, September 29 🐵💫 The sunny weather was almost hot and great for photos, but I imagine it was truly tough for everyone who spent the whole day dancing in costume. Well done to all of you 👏 I was amazed to see so many people each memorizing their roles, dances, and songs to perform a single dance together 😳✨ Elementary school students joined in and danced Ara Odori partway through, and it moved me to see this tradition being passed down to people of all ages 🥹 I heard that Ara Odori used to ban women long ago, but even as the form has changed with the times, I felt a strong community spirit to protect the tradition together 💪✨ Today, students from Gokase Junior High School, who hope to share more of Gokase Town’s charm and traditions and make the town more vibrant, spent the whole day filming the Ara Odori on video for us 📸💡 We should be able to share that video soon, so look forward to it 🤗💕
