Summer’s highlight in Japan – awa odori

To visit Japan in summer might not be everyone’s cup of tea due to the high humidity and the sweltering heat. But don’t let the heat keep you away. Summer’s highlight, “Awao odori”, a very famous festival in Japan, took place in summer.

“Awa odori” is a traditional dance festival that is believed to originate from Tokushima around 400 years ago. And now, it became a big annual event that takes place throughout Japan during summer.

Depending on locations, streets will be closed to cars. For 2.5 hrs, you get to see performers in fanciful traditional costumes, dance, chant and sing while parading through the streets in groups. And you enjoy them for FREE (*^-^*)

The chant has a certain rhythmic beat that sounds funny but pleasant to the ears.

But with the end of of awa odori festival each year, it sets me that autumn is on its way and that somehow brought about a tinge of loneliness…

Note:- The schedule of the event varies on location. If you are thinking of joining one, next time, do ensure to confirm the performance date in advance.

It was new to see an entire group of elderly. The dance was slow motion, but creative in the sense that they held musical tools making sounds to align to their dancing steps.

And of course without the music… So the efforts of musical instruments players should not be forgotten. The drums, sure looks heavy enough!

Pearl milk tea

I couldn’t believe my luck! I ran into a bubble tea stall in Japan (@o@)
Just as I was wondering if I would ever one find here…
They called it “TAPIOCA drink” in Japan.

The stall is tucked away at a corner just near to the exit of department store. They were about to close for the day and I ran to it and roamed over the menu, hinting that they still have a customer. I opted for strawberry milk pearl tea (2nd in popularity after Pearl milk tea).

So what’s so special about it?
Its definitely tapioca for me! Simply love the squishy taste (@^-^@)
Of course, strawberry milk deserves the credit too. Without it, tapioca will be just tapioca…

By the way, I will have to say the puppy looks a bit ugly but cute (*^-^*)

Anti-aging Blue Ramen this summer

Most people knows that Ramen is a famous Japanese noodle dish.
But have you heard about “blue ramen”?

“Blue Ramen” is a new creation by a Ramen shop in Nihonbashi. It will be available only for a limted period of time during summer. Its base is shio Ramen and can you image? As cool as it looks with the blue coloring, it is served cold too.

Frankly, I can’t imagine how the taste will be, because never had I in my life, tasted a Ramen that comes with cold soup (・_・?)

However, I wouldn’t think twice about trying it because it was said to contain phycocyanin that aids in anti-aging and anti-oxidation.
Wow! Doesn’t that sound like a “high-tech” Ramen? o(^-^)o

And what is the response of netizens towards “Blue Ramen”?
“It just looks like poison to me”, “The coloring makes me lose my appetite” were some of the negative remarks.

Well, I will reserve my opinion until I had tried it.
