Chimachi Market held on June 8
I was concerned about the rain that had been continued for days, but Chimachi Market was held actively on the day.
On the day, another local events as well as sports day in school were held, which were postponed because of rain, and some shop owner also cancelled their participation at the market because of rain, so that the market was held at a reduced scale.
The specialty on the day was this!! Many customers and shop owners were so curious.
Soap bubbles of big and small.
Both kids and adults were so excited!
Also a group “Wakku Wakku” held an event “Building green dorm” in the yard.
Kids painted a picture on the plant pots and put them underneath the green dorm.
It is interested how this green dorm is going to be change in the future.
Also, “Chimachi cooking lesson” was held by “Kyarabuki (butterbur stalks boiled in soy sauce) Promotion Group”.
They made “milk kuzumochi (mill arrowroot cake)”, “milk yokan (milk jelly using agar made of seaweed)”, plus “milk bavarois.” These are all easy to make.
These are sweets in which lots of wisdom of local moms and grandmas are contained.
Even I will be able to make them at home.
Shop owners and customers are loosely connected in the market.
It was such a nice day.
The next market is on July 13 2014.
