My hometown


My hometown is Yamagata. Yamagata is far from Aomori, so it takes about half a day to go home by the Tohoku Shinkansen although both of them are in Tohoku.
Yamagata is famous for various foods such as cherries, apples, beef, and so on.
However, the most famous and traditional food is "imoni"! Do you know "imoni"? In autumn, many people hold big events called "imonikai" and eat "imoni" in riverside areas or parks.By the way, the biggest "imonikai" is held in September and people make "imoni" for thirty thousands people, using a large pot that is six meters in diameter!!
If you have time, please come to Yamagata!
