The 21st Hiroka Market Festival was held on November 29 at Hirosaki Chuo Seika (Suehiro, Hirosaki City).

The company, which is Japan's largest food wholesale market for apples, trades agricultural and marine products from within the prefecture and other regions of the country. The event is held every year to make the market more accessible to the public. It is said that more than 20,000 people visit each year.

The main event is a crab pot that cooks and behaves in a pot with a diameter of 2.5 meters from 1 am to 5 hours or more. For the pot, use 420 kg of red king crab, 180 kg of blue crab, and 230 kg of pickles. For this reason, the sight of more than 4000 people forming a line more than 1 hour before 7:30, is a feature of the year.

Atsushi Tanto, an office worker living in the city, who lined up with his family for nearly an hour and ate crab hotpots said, `` I said for the first time, but the simple crab soup and green onion were entwined with the rich crab stock. I regret that I didn't bring it. I definitely want to eat next year next year. "

On the day of the event, there was a show of dismantling Oma tuna over 100 kilometers and a simulated auction where you could experience the market. Akihiro Kishimoto, general affairs department of the company, said, "By experiencing the atmosphere of our market, which is the core of Tsugaru's food, it would be an opportunity for visitors to look back on their normal eating habits."
