Dear readers, do you like rice suddenly? This time, we would like to introduce an event that many Japanese people who like rice should pay attention to. Its name is "Okome Matsuri 2012"! It's a really straightforward naming.


The purpose of this event is to promote the rediscovery of the value of traditional Japanese food culture with the concept of "Let's remember the food culture of Japan with rice in the middle". As the title suggests, it's a rice festival! It will be held at Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse for 3 days from November 16th to 18th.


Visitors pay an admission fee of 1,000 yen (including side dishes and 400 yen meal tickets), select their favorite "rice" from about 10 types, and gather about 50 stores (planned) from all over the country. From the selected stores, you can choose "side dishes" that match the rice and enjoy it. In addition to "rice", I am also very interested in "side dishes"! It seems that the rice varieties and store information to be developed will be updated sequentially on the homepage, so check it out!


In addition, it seems that there will be a lot of experience content that visitors can enjoy while learning about "rice" and "Japanese food culture", so this is a premonition of an event that can be enjoyed all day long.
