Miyagi


↑ Sake lees
 
Seems that fishes are back to the sea of Miyagi.
Miyagi fishermen have been giving away around 7,000 grilled sauries
 to the public at Meguro Sunma Festival every year, except 2011. 
Meguro Sunma (saury) Fest is supported by Shinagawa so
locals here waited for, prayed for Miyagi fishermen's return.


 ↓ pickled in Sake lees.
 Eyeballs tasted good, ... means Fresh!
 
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.
