It was really delicious! "Japan's best Bon Odori"

[Hanes] August 11, 2018 18:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
For the first time this year, I went to the Tsukiji Honganji Noryo Bon Dance Festival, which was held from August 1st to 4th, "Japan's Delicious Bon Dance".

First of all, because it was selected as one of the Eight Views of the Night Views of Chuo-ku, I was excited to see how impressive the night view was.
It was already crowded with so many people, and I was surprised!
For those who want to enjoy eating and drinking slowly while watching Bon Odori, the stairs leading to main hall seem to be popular.

If you want to stop by temporarily, do Bon Odori, or eat a variety of things.
The table and chair placed under the stairs for this Bon Dance period are perfect.

Tsukiji Honganji is always fine, and I want to take pictures without fail.
During this period, it was a special night view with the addition of Bon Odori decorations.

At the costume dance festival on the 3rd, you can wear the glittering appearance of ancient Egyptian pharaao.
Wearing famous drinks, costumes of famous characters, and full-body tights
People in really unique costumes gathered!

The light of lanterns illuminate the darkness, the sound of drums echoing in the summer sky, and the many ondos that blow off the heat.
Scent of exquisite gourmet that floats softly...This is the summer of Chuo-ku, isn't it?

And about "delicious" that I am worried about,
Tsukiji Kyotomi, Torito, Foxes, Sushi Fresh, etc. introduced earlier
There are a lot of Tsukiji shops that you can see as "delicious" just by listening to the name!

There are only high-level stalls that have never been seen at the fireworks festival or the Summer Festival.
After a while, I lost my eyes for a while, I chose the stewed beef of Tsukiji foxya.
(*Nanami pepper can be served as you like. Don't worry because it doesn't take so much!)

It tastes good, so it's rich, and I'm convinced that there is a line!
Even though it is a dish of a famous restaurant, it is reasonable compared to a regular stall with one coin or less.
Yes, all the delicious food here can be enjoyed at a reasonable price than expected.

After that, I had a tuna menchikatsu that can be easily eaten.
I don't have gravy because it's tuna, but it's still quite juicy.
The taste of tuna was generously clogged inside the clothes.

You can use the sauce as you like, but if you don't need it, you can use it for a reasonable salt content.
You should groan unintentionally, "Tsukiji has delicious food!"

"What is the best Bon Odori in Japan?"
"Isn't the delicious thing of Tsukiji really expensive?"
Tsukiji Honganji Bon Dance Festival, which I visited for the first time with such a question....
Rather than betraying expectations, there was more delicious and impressive than expected.
Even if you haven't been to this Bon Odori yet, we can recommend it with confidence!
Why don't you enjoy summer while eating delicious food at Tsukiji next year?
