Back in Fukushima city they were holding the Yakitori (Japanese satay)
Olympics. Yakitori cooks from all over Japan lotsa beer and good cheer.
Yakitori should always be charcoal grilled, sadly its getting harder to
find these days. These sort of food festivals and regional get-togethers
are something Japan does really well. Next week they are having the
Dumpling Olympics, wish I could go back.
Luckily there was no problem parking as there was the other parking.
Finally, strange fruit: This is Akebi which we bought in the mountains where it grows wild. The colour is a lurid luminous mauve, most unusual for any food. The flavour is a bit like dragon fruit and apparently you can cook the, incredibly bitter, pods as well. Haven't done this yet having had an unfortunate experience with a seafood once that looked like a bright orange rubber glove and tasted worse.
