The Japan festival 2014 "Akimatsuri"


 

 The Japan Autumn Festival was held by the Japan Club of Guam at YpaoPark on November 22.The visitors seemed to enjoy Japanese traditional festival such as Bon-odori, Mikoshi or carrying a portable shrine, the goldfish hunt and so on.

 The booth of the Consulate-General of Japan provided the visitors with an opportunity to experience Mochi-tsuki (glutinous rice pounding) and treat them to freshly pounded rice-cake with two different seasoning, one with homemade sweet red-bean paste and the other with soy bean flour. The Mochi was such a great hit that people were linign up the hundreds during each serving.
