An event was held to promote sardines, a specialty of Kanonji City in Kagawa Prefecture. The dried sardine is also used in udon soup stock, and the event was crowded with people.
This event is held every year at this time by a council formed by the city's tourism association. The children had fun learning while having fun, and there was also a cafeteria at the venue that served rice cooked with sardiner and tempura.. Masakiyo Fujiwara, secretary general of the Kanonjin City Tourism Association, said, ''I would be happy if people use it for various ingredients and lead to increased consumption.''
