Taking advantage of the goodness of Local ingredients, the "Bran Pickling Workshop" was 💡 held in in the hope that it would lead to new ideas for processing
Under the guidance of Rieko Temple from Gokase Town, we first tasted 🥢 the bran pickle prepared yesterday
There are 18 types in total!
Traditional Japanese straw raincoat such as cucumbers, carrots, and radishes were also discovered, as well as new flavors 👀✨ such as dried shiitake mushrooms, konjac, and Japanese ginger
After that Temple you will actually watch the Scene of the bran floor prepared in front of you, and learn 📝 the amount of Water
Then, we asked them to share the bran bed that could already be pickled, and we immediately pickled 😊 the vegetables that we had brought
It seems that it is ready to eat in about 12 hours, and everyone was looking forward to eating and took home the bran bed 🥰

【Climbing 👟 Shiraiwa for the first time in a long yellowtail】
From the 13th ~ 17th, the town road Honyashiki / Namiki Line became passable for both general cars, so I left my Car at the Gokase Highland Skiing Resort Skiing Center and climbed 💪 up to ShiraIwayama (rocky mountain)
The management road to the Skiing Resort is not passable for general cars, so we first aimed ✨ for the Burdockhata Trailhead on foot
After about 30 minutes of walking, we arrived at 💡 the Burdockhata Trailhead
From there, I climbed 😊 Shiraiwa for the yellowtail time in a long time
The Mountain Trail was bumpy at first, and but it was easy to walk and the weather was cool, so I was able ✨ to climb without much load
At the summit, we were able to exchange valuable Information and learn about 👍 the situation of neighboring mountains
The photo shows the chestnut tiger and wildflowers 🥰 that I encountered along the way
I was able to walk on the white Iwayama (rocky mountain) for the first time in a long yellowtail, and it was 😆 refreshing

🌇 Sunset Village Sculpture Symposium 🌇
This year, the work of Yoichi OkuVillage, who lives in Miyazaki City, came to ✨ Gokase Town
Gentle works 😊 that show Mr. OkuVillage's personality
While there is an image that stone = hard, it is possible 😲 to express it so softly
When I look at the works, I feel that 🥰 my heart warms up
There was ⛄ also a Picture book of Snow Dharma to make it a little cooler
Scenes 👀 of production
The brilliance of the stone is different before and after, isn't it? (It may be the skill of the photographer, but ... 😅)
It seems that ✨ about 7 works have already been made after entering Gokase Town
I am 🎵 looking forward to the Dedication of the work to Furutono Shrine again this year
The Scene of the exhibition and Mr. Oku Village's work can be 💡 seen at the bottom of the Furutono Shrine
He is scheduled to be in Gokase until 9/3, but there is also cleanup, so it may 😊 be Squid to go see it in August
* It seems that Mr. Oku Village is absent on 8/7.

[Summer Production 🌻]
Last week, there were many rainy and cloudy days in Gokase Town, but this week the weather is like The ☆ Summer ✨ and the sun is dazzling 😎 every day
I went 🚗 to Shirataki to look for "coolness" as much as possible
I felt 😊 comfortable just looking at the water falling from a drop of about 20 meters
Also, on the way, there is 🌻 a sunflower field that is in best time to visit.
It was the first Spot I knew about, so I felt 🎵 like I had gained a lot
There is a strong image that "Miyazaki Prefecture = hot", but Gokase Town is Located in ⛰ a place surrounded by mountains at high elevation
Therefore, even in summer, the average temperature is a few degrees Celsius lower than in other areas of the prefecture, and it is chilly in the mornings and evenings, and there are many 😉 days when you can sleep soundly without air conditioning (in fact, it was cool last night and I was 😅 wearing a blanket)
To escape the summer heat and refresh your mind and body, please come ✨ and visit Gokase this summer

【Gion Shrine Summer Annual Grand Festival】
July 15 was the Annual Grand Festival ⛩ of Gion Shrine
I covered 📷 the "Morimaki Shinto ritual" before the ceremony
We will 💪 make the makaya that we picked that morning into the shape of Yamata no Orochi
The thatch is hard, and it is 😅 very difficult to twist the amount of many at once
However, the members of the Morimaki Shinto ritual preservation society finished it with ✨ their Mackerel
It seems 😆 that the amazake made overnight was also exceptionally delicious this year
This year, there were many galleries, which made me 😁 happy
"Gion-san" cherished by local people
It will 🥰 continue to work with the community in the future
