First post of 2025, we want to say “明けましておめでとうございます〜” to all of you!
Did you already dream this year? In Japan, the first dream of the year called “Hatsuyume”, and it is said that dreams of Mt.Fuji is the best, a hawk is the second, and an eggplant is the third good omens of the year.
Go back to the New Year, the Japanese people visit a shrine or temple during January, and it is called “Hatsumoude”. People also draw a paper fortune “Omikuji” which tells their fortune of the new year.
After asking my Japanese colleague, here are the most popular shrines/temples in Tochigi for “Hatsumoude”!

Utsunomiya Futaarayama Jinja Shrine: This shrine is centrally located in Utsunomiya City, is the most popular place in Central Area of Tochigi Pref.
Nikko Toshogu Shrine: As an UNESO World Heritage Site, this shrine is very populated by visitors who come to Nikko City.

Japanese sake-brewing joins UNESCO Cultural Heritage list!

The UNESCO just recognized the “Japanese Sake-brewing” as an “Intangible Cultural Heritage” on December 4.

Tochigi Prefecture has long been an important producer of Japanese sake, and the various kinds of famous sake produced in the prefecture's sake brewery have been popular overseas.
There are more than 30 traditional and new-generation’s sake breweries in various areas of Tochigi Prefecture that continue to produce and offer the most flavorful sake with a passion for making top-quality sake.

Tochigi Prefecture's sake is delicious because of the clear spring water flowing from Nikko and Nasu mountains, the Shojinzawa Spring Water and the Izuruhara Benten Pond Spring Water, which have been selected as one of the nation’s clearest water sources in Japan. “Yumesasara,” a good sake rice variety originally developed by Tochigi Prefecture, is also the secret of the deliciousness of sake produced in Tochigi!

While enjoying Tochigi Prefecture's sights, don't forget to taste Tochigi's sake! We wish to see you soon!

Taking the stress out of this year ~ Ashikaga Akutai Festival

Have you ever thought that you can hear profanity in a Japanese traditional festival like “Bakayaro”? 😺
I believe that we all have accumulated a lot of grievances in our lives due to work and interpersonal relationships. So why don't you try this activity that even surprise Japanese people?
Mt.Oiwa Bishamonten in Ashikaga City, Tochigi, holds “Akutai (saying something bad) Festival” New Year’s Eve every year. This event started at late Edo period, and there is a wish that everyone can greet the refreshed new year by relieving everyone’s pent-up feelings and misfortune that have accumulated in a year. ✨
After Shugensha (monk) plays the conch shell loudly late at night, visitors look up at the sky and curse the words in their hearts as they walk up to the shrine on the top of the mountain. After climbing to the top of the mountain, you can taste the sweet sake prepared by the shrine!

Sano Ramen, A classic Japanese food that brings back memories. 🍜

Sano City, which is located in Southern of Tochigi Pref., has long been known as a region with many ramen shops. In the early Showa period, the populations of Sano City was about 50,000, yet it is said that there were around 160 ramen shops in the city. 🤯
Sano’s main industry was textile, so after a busy day, hard-working laborers needed to enjoy quick, convenient, and tasty food, and ramen became an important pillar in the daily lives of the people of Sano. 🥡

The specialty of Sano ramen is the clear, refreshing soy sauce-based soup, and many Sano ramen stores work hard to develop their own soup so that their customers never get tired of eating it! 😋
Also, Sano Ramen is made with water of the 100 best spring waters in Japan, and high-quality wheat. Beaten by green bamboo stems, these noodles are aerated for good thermal conductivity. As a result, they are cooked in a second and maintain a chewy but smooth texture. 🥢

If you love Japanese food, you must try the classic Sano Ramen when you visit Tochigi!
