#74 What is Matsuri? Japanese Summer Festival -Hoshi Kudari

[xniquilador]

Very interesting and exciting cultural video! Nice work!!

[neginodoka23]

There's also a star festival where the two stars vega and Altair meet. :) I've always wanted to go.

[Elfenzorn87]

"of course"? i asked 'cause i didn't know...

i couldn't imagine 'cause they are pretty small fish and you need really a lot of them^^"

[Elfenzorn87]

what does everyone do with the fish, after catching them? i think not everyone of them has got an aquarium at home^^

do some people really eat them?^^

[hanzimaster]

@Elfenzorn87 you eat them with dashi, benishoga, negi, daikon and hiyashi chuka of course.

[noxure]

Can I watch you eat one right now? ^^

[MATTCOSSIN]

Love this video!! I love seeing different Japanese cultural events like this! Its seems that there is so many different kinds all over Japan. THanks for showing this one. That girl at the fish tank was a character. I like her sense of humor.

[waider]

From the first stare she gave, then the thing she said, she's obviously drunk!=)

[weeknightingale]

Poor little gold fish!

[helpmefindparents]

[phillipcraig1]

[klynik]

Looks awesome. I really want to try some takoyaki. It seems like a common food at matsuris.

Good video. Cheers Ken!

[DEATHISTHEMASTER]

Man This Is COol

[IamBratacus]

I have to ask , did You try the goldfishes with soysauce and or wasabi and ginger ? I am very adventurous with food but not sure id go that far with a goldfish .. now the grilled squid seemed yummy! heheh was there any new foods you tried ? if so . what was it?as always (((HUGGS)))

[lmcdowall]

私はとても気に入っこの動画の投稿のおかげで

[AlucardsQuest]

Squid & octopus, somehow I can't imagine myself eating them. Yes my tastes are sure western. But when my nephew and I plan to travel to Japan, we'll have to try almost everything.

[lmcdowall]

Squid and octopus both have mild flavors .Not fishy at all and with a little soya they are great ! =D

[CupcakeAndTea]

hahah the girl with the goldfish was really nice and playfully funny ^^

[sithia45]

So it's true that the Japanese are only trying to trick us Americans into believeing that they eat RAW fish. Thank you Ken Tanaka for this. No more goldfish for me.

[nbwulf]

Enjoyed it Ken...

Cheers... J.

[Kordoc5]

Wow that looks like so much fun!
