Wajima Crab Festival

Oh my! two posts in one day? This is a combination of avoiding work and instead of beening lazy do something with it....but still beening lazy in a sense :P

Yesterday out of the blue Taku, one of resident advisor of my dorm and a guy who did an exchange year at Liverpool John Moores asked me whether i wanted to go to this crab festival that was going to be held in Noto Penisula in Wajima city.  I of course said yes!!! Crabs yum yum!!!

We set off at about 9am and it took us about three hours to get there, the weather today has been bad and it has been raining for most of the day.  Also i'm glad that i thought about us going to the coast would mean COLD! I'm glad i wrapped up warm and I wasn't one of the people who kept complaining about the cold :P

Basically it was an eating festival which it my kind of thing! We weren't sure what to eat but headed for the Osyter, most of the food sold were expensive but you kinda expect it at these kind of festivals and you would have thought it would be fresh.

 It was really windy and raining but everything was under this big tent thing

These were quite expensive, about £5 for four, i shared two with Taku so £2.50 but they were really good and tasted really fresh!

 I would say the main attraction! Luckily I managed to get the last bowl of crab soup! With a little of gajin smash used but Taku only got soup :P but all of us managed to give him some crab

Fishing crabs, alot of kids were really interested in this, i heard it was £5 for a minute go! So expensive!

 MEAT STICK!!! It was really really tasty!!!! The beef was really tasty!

You could buy your own seafood and cooked it BBQ style, i regret i didn't heat up my scallops :( these were Irina's. So spent a little bit on the seafood but it was nice!!!! The scallops were probably the best deal as they were big and only £3.50

After finishing eating we tried to walk around, Wajima is famous for lacquer wear but it was really really expensive..... it got too cold for people so we decided to head back. The weather is rain, rain and more rain...i may have to invest in some wellies, it is insane, worst than Manchester i think! I presume when the temperature drops, that rain would then turn into snow....
