It was a nice day.
I could eat the special product in Kofu (甲府) today. That is Kofu torimotsuni (甲府鳥もつ煮), cooked chicken gizzard, hearts, liver, pre-born eggs with soy sauce seasoning. Tori (鳥) means chicken, motsu (もつ) means offal, and ni (煮) means boiled. But torimotsu (取り持つ) also means to act as an agent. They mediate between lovers, families, areas, and so on.
There was B-1 Grand Prix contest of gourmet in September. And this Kofu torimotsuni became the No.1. There were 46 entries and 4,350,000 people joined and voted the contest.
Since that time many people outside of Kofu come to eat torimotsuni all the way and now there is even a map which shows the restaurants where you can taste this local food.
You can eat torimotsuni at the soba noodle house there.
