Golden-week Omiyage (Souvenir) 23

tokyo   ☁  26-32C
4 August, Saturday - Saturn day, moon in Pisces,
the 17th day of the 7th lunar month.


I’m still doing the Golden Week Omiyage series!

 Akita Miso.

 Koji - Mould rice.
It is used for making Sake or Miso normally.
 Of course Koji has become a popular flavouring in Japan.  


 Akita is here!


Golden week the longest vacation period of the year in Japan,
which starts from the end of April, and last around 5th of May.
People go back to their hometown or travel abroad in this period.
Oddly, Golden week never ends without Omiyage (souvenirs) here.
We exchange Omiyage with friends, siblings, colleagues,
and neighbours, piling up foods in the kitchen afterwards..
Omiyage let us know or taste popular products in each region.
Interesting.
