Everyone who enjoyed the festival to their heart's content this summer. Have the holes in your heart been filled with the arrival of autumn? The author has just begun to get used to the chilly outside air while organizing the memories of the summer festival.


By the way, this time, I would like to take a look back at the exquisite menus I met at various summer festival venues under the title of "2015 Summer-Fests, Music and Us". Don't be afraid, every festival venue offers a high-quality menu every year that you wouldn't think it was cooked in a special kitchen. Please refer to it next year!

● JAPAN JAM BEACH 2015-"Tom Yum Kung Ramen"

"JAPAN JAM BEACH 2015" was held in Makuhari, Chiba for three days during Golden Week, when the footsteps of summer are approaching. As the name suggests, it is a festival where you can relax on the beach (= sandy beach), there is little movement between stages, and above all, the romantic situation where you can listen to your favorite music while watching the sunset is attractive.

While there was a long line in the food booth and there were a lot of stores waiting for more than 60 minutes, I was impressed by the deliciousness of Thai food Platoon "Tom Yum Kung Ramen" (700). Circle).


Tom Yum Kung soup has a super authentic taste with coriander and coconut. I tried to avoid the fact that it was so delicious that I almost drank only the soup, and when I sipped the noodles, it had an exquisite texture and throat. It was a hearty dish with crispy bean sprouts and plenty of shrimp. If there is no waiting time with this, there is nothing to say!

● ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2015-"Pork Kakuni Don"

Japan's largest outdoor rock festival "ROCK IN JAPAN FESTIVAL 2015". The venue was Hitachinaka City, Ibaraki Prefecture, and this year it was held for a total of four days, using two weeks of Saturday and Sunday. I was blessed with the weather. Or rather, it was really hot.

By the way, while many shops are lined up, the shop "Sakurai Shokudo" of Dragon Ash drummer Makoto Sakurai opened for the first time in "Forest Kitchen" near LAKE STAGE. I have no choice but to eat this! That's why I got the "pork kakuni rice bowl" (800 yen), which had a high reputation before. It is a menu with pork stew and boiled egg on top of rice.


Kakuni pork has a texture that melts the moment you put it in your mouth. It is soft enough to make you think that it has been simmered for a long time. Kakuni, which has a sweet and spicy taste, is as familiar as it appears on the table at home, but it is delicious that you can never make yourself. I've repeated this three times because it's so delicious ... but I don't regret it.

● SUMMER SONIC 2015-"Exquisite Addictive Tofu Burger"

Urban rock festival "SUMMER SONIC 2015" to be held in Chiba and Osaka. Since many artists from overseas come to Japan, it is a festival with a rich international flavor for both performers and customers. There is some information that I witnessed a celebrity who came to play in private.

HOPEHOPE's "Exquisite Addictive Tofu Burger" (800 yen) was eaten side by side for more than 30 minutes at Summer Sonic. Actually, I was aiming for the "best avocado tofu burger" (1,000 yen), but unfortunately the avocado was sold out, so I gave up crying.


Thickly cut tofu is sandwiched in buns with a crispy texture and aroma. Above and below the tofu are lettuce and sliced cheese.

The tofu is fluffy and fluffy, but it's also firm and hard, just like cheese! It stays firmly in your stomach. At festivals where you eat too much, this healthy thing is what makes you happy. If you have a chance to eat it again, I definitely want to try it with avocado!

● RISING SUN ROCK FESTIVAL 2015 in EZO-"Hokkaido Ezo Deer Curry"

"RISING SUN ROCK FESTIVAL 2015 in EZO" was held in Ishikari Bay, Hokkaido. Since I went to the far north, I want to eat a local menu that I can't usually eat! That's why I chose the "Hokkaie Zoshika Curry" (800 yen) from Suikuya, which has a shop in Sapporo.


A delicious curry that combines Hokkaido carrots and onions with ripe tomatoes from Niki-cho Ito Farm and "Ezo venison". I don't have many chances to eat venison, but I'm addicted to the peculiar habit of deer, which seems to be similar to lamb and is a bit different.

● SWEET LOVE SHOWER 2015-"Stamina Don"

The other day, "SWEET LOVE SHOWER 2015 " introduced the artist collaboration menu of Special Kitchen. Of course, in addition to the collaboration menu, there are many shops offering exquisite menus at the venue.

Hotel Mount Fuji's "Koshu Shingen Pork Stamina Bowl" (700 yen) found at the World Food Court. It seems that cheese, kinpira, and kimchi can be topped with each, but for the time being, I wanted to taste Shingen pork straight, so I ordered a normal bowl.


Pork that hides rice is topped with plenty of bean sprouts and green onions. The gap between the fluffy and tender meat and the crispy texture of the bean sprouts further accelerates your appetite. Pork is tightly entwined with sweet and sour sauce and has a rich taste that goes well with beer. It is a highly satisfying dish that is both delicious and tasty.


――Looking back at the menus in each area, morale has already risen for next year's event. We look forward to seeing you again next summer at the festival venue filled with love, music and delicious food!
