Atsugi Food Festival and Billiards

Time for some catch up of what happened over golden week.

I went out with my friend that was visiting from America and a couple of Japanese friends from work to a local food festival in Atsugi. Unfortunately it was raining pretty hard so we all had to huddle under an umbrella the entire time. The festival was held in a local Atsugi park. There were tons of food stands set up and also a stage where local dance groups from local high schools were performing. Besides the rain it was a great environment.

The lines for one stand were really really long, so we decided to try one of the shorter ones. It was called a Zerry Fry (ゼリーフライ) and was kind of like a breaded fried potato. It was from Saitama, a nearby prefecture.

There were a lot of people dressed up in animal uniforms promoting all of their stand's food. Chuck was kidpapped by a cow and extorted into buying some fried potatos which were actually pretty nice.


Afterwards we all went to play billiards. It was Kozasa-san's first time playing billiards but despite this everyone seemed to have a lot of fun.
