2012.8.10

It seems today is the day of Yosakoi Festival (よさこい祭り:yosakoi matsuri) in Kochi (高知) where is very famous for the home town of Sakamoto Ryoma (坂本龍馬) who is a hero of the late Edo period.
I have happened to be in the izakaya (居酒屋) of Tosa (土佐) food tonight.  Tosa is the old name of Kochi area.  Izakaya is the place you can drink and eat.  Their special dish was warayaki (わらやき).  Wara is straw, yaki is grill.  They barbecue bonito or chicken by straw and eat them with salt and fresh condiment.  They were tasty with sake (酒).
