●I want to eat deliciously this winter! Enjoy Echizen Crab in Echizen Town

Echizen Crab was lifted in November. Echizen Crab is one of the specialties of Fukui Prefecture.
It is also featured in brochures for tourists. Fishing starts on November 6 and is in season until mid-March.
It's for a limited time, so I want people I know outside the prefecture and outside of Japan to taste it.

This time, we will introduce Echizen Crab Spots that you can enjoy even on a day trip Drive.
There is also advice for foreign visitors when they come.

How would you answer if someone asked, "What is Echizen Crab?"

Echizen Crab calls snow crab Landings in Fukui Prefecture. In the San'in region, pine needles are called ni, and in Noto and Kaga, they are called kanoga.

There are three points to keep in mind when introducing Echizen Crab

1. Echizen Crab is a male snow crab. Females are called seikogani
2. A yellow tag with the name of the fishing port is attached as proof of Landings in Fukui Prefecture
3. Echizen Crab is the No.1 in Japan in terms of fishing and quality. It is also presented to the Imperial Family

The facility where you can learn about crabs is the Echizen Crab Museum. It is Located in Roadside Station Echizen. This time, I went to hang out with my Chinese friends. When I asked, "Do you want to join?" he said, "I definitely want to join!" I didn't expect people to be so interested.

At the Echizen Crab Museum, you can compare Echizen Crab and various types of crabs. There are also aquariums where real crabs are bred. It is highly recommended because it is easier to convey because it can be explained by actually seeing it with the eyes.

You can actually see the tools used for crab fishing, and there are plenty of Documents, so you can learn a lot.

There is also a coloring book and game corner for children, so it is fun to go with the family.

There was a row of freshly boiled Echizen crab. Echizen Crab, Seikogani, Red Snow Crab, etc. This is my first time buying Echizen Crab in Echizen Town. I was surprised that it was more reasonable than I expected.

●Do foreigners like crabs?

Speaking of Fukui, Echizen Crab, and speaking of Echizen Town, delicious seafood. I would like foreign customers to eat it as well.

However, depending on the country or region, there is no custom of eating seafood, or it is not edible. Squid is not good for some people, so be sure to check well in advance. Of course, there are foreigners who come to Fukui to see Echizen Crab.

Here are the favorites of the people I've met by country and region. Please refer to it.

・United States
Many people on the Saikai coast of the United States had the opportunity to eat lobster, so there was not much resistance. Sushi is a widespread part of Japan culture, so many people like raw fish.

・China
Even in China, it is a small yellowtail, but they eat crab, so Echizen Crab was happy to eat it. Crab miso and uchiko are also my favorite foods.

・Asia
Tastes change depending on which region of Asia you are in. The image is that shrimp are eaten, but raw fish depends on the person. Bangladeshi children were not in the habit of eating seafood, and sashimi and fish dishes in general were not favorite.

・Australia
Australia is a multi-ethnic country, and they are familiar with various food cultures on a regular basis. There are many people who like Japan sushi. Echizen Crab was also happy to eat.

・Europe
There are many countries in Europe that do not have the habit of eating fish, so be sure to check carefully.
Inland Australians didn't even like the smell of soup stock. Danes, who have a habit of eating salmon, also have sashimi depending on the person. If you are used to it on a regular basis, you will be desensitized to the smell of fish and the taste of dashi, so be careful when you go to the fish market.

・Israel
Judaism forbids eating seafood without scales. Shrimp and crabs fall under this category, so check with Jewish people in advance. Some sects of Islam do not eat seafood such as shrimp and crabs in the same way. The food varies greatly depending on the religion, so be sure to check carefully.

Let's enjoy the delicious Echizen Crab with your family and friends this winter.

\ 2 special Soba noodles restaurants in Echizen Town, Fukui Prefecture /

When you come to Fukui Prefecture, the dish you want to eat is Soba noodles.
In February 2021, the online media "Netorabo" conducted a "prefecture ranking where Soba (buckwheat noodles) is delicious", and Fukui Prefecture was by far the first place.

This time, we would like to introduce two Soba noodles restaurants in Echizen Town where you can eat delicious Soba noodles.

◎Enjoy Echizen pottery, gentle Soba noodles|Juwari Soba Daikonsha

Soba noodles shop in Echizen Pottery Village "Juwari Soba Daikonsha".
You can taste 100% Soba noodles, which are made from 100% genSoba from Fukui, and are made with stone-ground homemade flour.
Utsuwa is, of course, "Echizen pottery".

The Soba noodles served in a Echizen Pottery bowl in a tasteful Japan house makes you feel very elegant.

One of the popular Soba noodles at Daikonsha is "Kurumi Soba noodles"
Soba noodles that do not use any animal products in the soup stock and can be enjoyed even by vegans.
Since it was cold, I received a warm "warm walnut".
The fluffy walnut-flavored soup goes well with Soba noodles.
I thought it would be sweeter, but it was easy to eat.
"Pure chicken Soba noodles" is a combination of delicious pure chicken and firm broth and is very delicious.

For dessert, I also received the restaurant's mother's recommended "Black Honey Soba Dango" and "Soba Scraping Zenzai".
It is much softer and chewier than the Soba noodles I know.
And it was as satisfying as a child's fist.
But since it is Soba noodles, you can eat it easily.
It is a Soba noodles restaurant that is very gentle on the body and mind.

◎ Founded, Showa 29 (Showa 29), Soba noodles with full volume|Menbo Shingetsutei

Founded in 1954 (Showa 29), the smiling staff welcomes you cheerfully.

"Noodles" using Local spring water and buckwheat noodles
"Dashi" using katsuto from Kochi Prefecture and Rishiri kelp from Hokkaido
"Ingredients" that are particular about condiments

Because it is a restaurant that has been around for a long time, you can enjoy delicious Soba noodles that you are particular about.

I received a limited quantity of "Jumbo shrimp ten grated daikon soba"
Because it is called jumbo, it is too big to fit in a bowl of Soba noodles.
The batter is crispy and this alone is very satisfying.
Soba noodles are also firm and aroma.
Both zaru Soba (buckwheat noodles) and warm Soba noodles are really delicious.

"Shrimp Tempura Egg Toji Soba (Buckwheat Noodles)" is also full of volume. The shrimp heaven is also large and there are plenty of eggs.
In addition, the Soba (buckwheat noodles) menu is very substantial.
All of them seem and be satisfying.

There are many small size Soba noodles for children and side menus, so it is a restaurant that you want to come to with your family and friends.

I also tried the staff's recommended "cold guy with sesame seeds".
It is as soft as regular tofu and has a lot of sesame seeds in it, which is very flavorful. The children were flattened in no time.

It is a homely Soba noodles restaurant where cheerful staff welcomes you.

Soba noodles and warm people
This time, I went around two Soba noodles restaurants in Echizen Town with my husband and family.

All of the Soba noodles restaurants are attractive and delicious in their own way.
Ingredients, well-thought-out recipes, and an atmosphere that suits each of them.
But more than that, I and something that makes the Soba noodles delicious.
The desire to entertain the guests who come to visit.
The desire to convey the charm and taste of Fukui and Echizen Town.
The "feelings" of the people in the restaurant were conveyed through the Soba noodles.

To feel the delicious Soba noodles and the warmth of the people involved in the Soba noodles, please visit the charming Soba noodles restaurant in Echizen Town.

We are looking for entries for the Winter Triathlon to be Held in in Shinano Town, Nagano Prefecture in March 2025! ⛷️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♀️
Today, I'm going to tell you what to wear for winter triathlon cross-country skiing! There are many people who want to participate in competitions but are wondering what kind of clothes to wear. You may be wondering how it differs from going to a ski resort.
When cross-country skiing, it's best to wear lighter clothes than when skiing at the ski resort! It is a good idea to choose clothing that is easy to move around and easy to put on and take off. When I participated for the first time, I went in ski clothes, but as soon as I moved, I got hot and my clothes got wet with sweat. Therefore, it is essential to wear quick-drying innerwear so that you don't sweat cold! ✨ (The third photo is from when I went in ski clothes (laughs))
Details are also included in the photo, so please refer to it! Please prepare well before the competition and enjoy 🏅💪 it comfortably
Whether you want to give it a try or are still unsure, why not experience the charm of winter triathlon and dive into a new world of sports? 🏅

Today, new Spring wolf smoke was held in various parts of Kiso.
Smoke is smoke that is raised high using firewood or gunpowder, and in the past, it was used as a signal or landmark during wartime / emergency. In other words, it was a means of transmitting Information.

The New Spring Wolf Smoke Festival, Held in every year on January 4 in Kiso, began in 2007 with the call of the Tsumagoro Love Association to strengthen the sense of solidarity in Kiso Valley and revitalize Kiso.
