大分みのりフェスタ Oita harvest festival


On Saturday I'd say one thousand Japanese packed to one park in Beppu to take part in Oita harvest festival. The mass event promoted regional seasonal products.

Why it was great festival? For two reasons. Firstly, fresh fruits, vegetables and fish with half of the price of that in supermarkets, and secondly, lots and lots of tasting-spots to try out new foods! There we've got to know Dango-jiru(だんご汁), a tasteful but quite vegetableish broth soup that is typical to Kyushu.

On the way to Beppu. We met a chipper fisher man, who taught us phrases of Oita dialect. Many of them I don't remember, but these two I do:

どげんしちょんのかえ。- How are you?
よだき。- I'm tired
