[Gion Shrine Autumn Festival "Okunchi"]

Today, October 9 (Wednesday), the autumn festival "Okunchi" was held in 🤗 at Gion Shrine in the Kuraoka area

As if yesterday's rain was a lie, the power of a pleasant autumn sunny ☀️ day is still amazing 👏✨

Held in on a weekday this year, the ceremony also attracted people from outside the prefecture and local children 😊

I was allowed to enter the Main Shrine and was able to see the "Urayasu Dance", which is 🥹 a beautiful dance that feels traditional ✨

I was able 🤩 to enjoy Gion Kagura more with careful explanations such as the differences from other Kagura

The Usu Drum Dance was also fun with the participation of everyone including the general public, and the exchange of questions and answers between the Yamahoshi was comical and soothing 🤣

When it comes to traditional events, it There are have a somewhat rigid image, but that's not the case at all ... It was 💫 an interesting festival

Restrooms available after the Usu Drum dance, and it was a lively kunchi from start to finish, with 🤗🎉 the Dedication of Gion Kagura

10/3 (Thu) G class ~ Kama-roasted tea experience 🍵 at Miyazaki Tea House ~ Today, third-grade students from four elementary schools in Gokase In the town gathered at Miyazaki Chabo for a G class ✍️💡... So, I was 👀✨ allowed to Visiting the site I was able 👏👏👏 to do a little bit of tea picking experience, which I had thought about quitting due to light rain, because I recovered enough to have a sunny period with the power of elementary school students While chanting "One core and two leaves!", everyone was happily hand-picking 🌿 Tea leaves After that, the participants were divided into three groups: (1) Visiting the site of the factory, (2) Roasting of kettles, and (3) Tasting ✍️✨ (1) There are many opportunities to see the inside of the factory for the first time! Aroma of various Tea came and I was healed 🤤💕 just by visiting the site When I explained that a single Tea leaf can make green tea→ oolong tea, → black tea, the children reacted with astonishment 😳 💮💮💮, saying, "What~~~!?" (2) When I Visiting the site of the factory, I heard that it was roasted at 200~300 degrees Celsius with a machine, so it was fun 🤩 to try it for children 🤣 who were scared, saying, "Isn't it hot!?" I was very interested in the Tea leaves, which are roasted and turn into a nice Aroma, and I learned 😊 about the manufacturing process of kama-roasted tea while exchanging impressions such as "I like the smell!" and "But it's tiring~💦" (3) Types of tea utensils, how to use them, tips for brewing delicious Tea at the temperature of the water to be brewed, etc. Tasting 🍵✨ the tea by actually brewing it yourself while learning various things It smells like corn soup! There is a child who says, eh!? I thought so, but it is said that kamaricha often tastes similar to corn, and I 😮💡 am always 👏 surprised by the sensibilities of children We compared four types of Tea and had a tasting where they had to guess which one of them was roasted tea, oolong tea, roasted tea, or black tea, but the children 🤣 struggled to be confused by the colors and Aroma they usually knew Did you know? Oolong tea from Taiwan and Gokase has a color 😏✏️ close to green tea instead of brown At the end of the session, we asked the producers sharp questions in the question corner and summarized ✍️💫 what they had learned I hope that the children who have been touched by the charm of Gokase's kama-roasted tea and the thoughts of the producers will take 😌 pride in the Local Specialty Products and weave the future of Gokase Towns ✨
