The 34th edition of Japan’s largest Imoni Festival will be held for the first time in three years.

Imoni is a taro and beef stew that is considered Yamagata’s soul food.
During the Imoni Festival, ingredients will be stewed in a large pot of 6.5 meters in circumference to result in approximately 30,000 servings.

In addition to imoni, delicious food stalls from inside and outside the prefecture will gather at the venue, and charcoal-grilled saury will be sold too.

There are also stage events, exhibitions, and introduction corners.

Let’s eat delicious imoni while feeling the pleasant autumn breeze.
