On September 23rd, a gourmet event "Tsugaru Hirakawa Nigu Festival" will be held at Karankoron Onsen in Hirakawa, Aomori.

The same event where you can eat and compare the hormones of a butcher shop in Hirakawa city. Three stores are open: “Mizuki Butcher Shop” (Hirakawa Machii Minanda), “Meat Pork Kin (Kasai Butcher Shop)” (Honmachi Kita Yanagita), and “Hormonya” (Honmachi Plain). Each store provides 100 grams for each person.

Six sets of stage performances are scheduled on the same day, and bands that are active mainly in the local area will perform and perform, and a food booth will be set up. Sakurano Department Store Hirosaki (Tohoku, Hirosaki, Tohoku) Pakistani restaurant "SANA" on the 4th floor, cafe dining "FAVORITE THINGS" (station square) newly opened in front of Hirosaki station, cafe in Odate, Akita prefecture " Zero second” etc. will open.

Kenji Ichinohe, a citizen group sponsored by Asobo! Hirakawa, said, "This group was launched in February of this year with the aim of enjoying both adults and children locally in Hirakawa City, which is said to have nothing. This event is the first pay It's a project, and it's also the largest."

According to Ichinohe, "nigu" is Tsugaru dialect and means meat, which is synonymous with hormones and roasted meat. "In the Tsugaru region, "niguyaru" is an outdoor barbecue and grilled meat. Although I often do it with my family and friends, I often buy it from familiar butchers, and I do not know the meat of other stores unexpectedly. There are many things."

At first, I thought about bringing in events like "Meat x Expo" and "Meat Festival", but I gave up early because of the size and budget. “It was planned to be “nigu” with the Tsugaru dialect,” says Ichinohe, with a smile. "On the day, you can come out empty-handed and eat yakiniku, and you can get a bath ticket, so it's a good deal," he said. "I would like to continue to send plans that can be enjoyed locally with a niche target."

Holding time is from 11:00 to 15:30. Advance ticket is 2,000 yen (includes Karakoron hot spring bathing ticket). Handled at Karonkoron Onsen, Kura Cafe Kura Kobo (Kanaya Nakamatsumoto, Hirakawa City), and Hirakawa City Tourism Association (Sarugananda).
