Kemononight
On what I thought was the Mid-Autumn Full Moon (though it turned out to be the next day)
Kemononight returned after several years.

Centered on Nishiokoppe dairy farmer Minami and the guesthouse GA.KOPPER,
a handful of Nishiokoppe locals and chefs from nearby areas,
with cooperation from musicians, came together for a feast.

Eating what was alive
and thus carrying life forward

Around a fire-lit gathering
a night to give thanks for life and for the producers.

Before I knew it, what had been just a plywood board
became a place where deer and bear appeared and warmed themselves.

Chilly but wrapped in clear air,
the warm, well-seasoned soup was exquisite.

Deer, bear, sheep, cattle, with vegetables and cheese

We savored the blessing of tasting locally caught and gathered ingredients,
and the luxury of those ingredients transformed into delicious dishes
by the chefs’ wisdom and skill.

Food that also creates encounters.
Will the people gathered this night meet again somewhere else?

Thanks to the producers and everyone who came together.

[Autumn-Sky Market] Autumn markets often bring rain and chilly winds. This year was rare: the sun watched over us on both days. The market took place on September 22 and 23, and many people attended on the 22nd, the middle day of the three-day holiday. The soba and udon noodles sold out mostly on the first day alone, wiping out two days' worth of noodles. The chiffon cakes sold only at the event were so popular that they sold out by midmorning on both days. The piping-hot Ezo deer meatballs and venison braised in red wine were comfortingly warm and delicious. Vegetable stalls came from Seiryu no Sato, with rows of green onions, daikon radishes, and potatoes, and many people bought them as souvenirs. The children's festival booths were mobile on the first day and set up next to the Ezo deer meatballs on the second day, adding to the market's lively atmosphere. For 100 yen, kids could try the candy-fishing game three times, and a little expert who had the knack appeared, catching four sweets in one go. There was also a sales corner for ume and tea, making the market even livelier. Thank you to everyone who came! #Nishiokoppe Village #Market #Autumn #Roadside Station #Kamu #three-day holiday #Ezo deer meatballs #venison braised in red wine #Yume-mura Mori no Garden #soba and udon #chiffon cake #Setoushi-kun-yaki #Seiryu no Sato #vegetable sales #Puppet Theater Circle Doremi #children's festival booths

The Variety Show Returns Nishiokoppe Village’s variety show was held for the first time in five years. A huge, huge, huge success!!!! Why it stopped They say there were many reasons: the infectious disease, budget cuts, a shortage of performers… and more. Thanks to a lot of cooperation, they managed to overcome those obstacles and held the event safely. The show opened with the revival of Uenshiri Daiko, returning after 20 years. Though their performance lasted only five minutes, it was full of power and perfectly suited to open the event. There were many other acts covering a wide range of genres, from children to adults, and seeing friends and acquaintances happily take the stage warmed everyone’s hearts. Some intense performances even made little children cry! In the second half, the karaoke section livened things up. You could get lost in beautiful voices, or join in with call-and-response and enjoy it together. The finale closed with everyone in the venue singing the village festival song together and a lucky-money toss. Thanks to everyone who came, everyone who performed, and everyone who supported us from afar— we’re grateful to you all. Thank you very much! #Nishiokoppe Village #Variety Show #Performance Showcase #Karaoke #Uenshiri Daiko #Chase the Nut Thief #Ritz Pritz Khao Man Gai #Rissa♡ #Kazu Asano #The generous tipping culture was amazing
