In Yufu City, Oita Prefecture, a "Beef Eating Screaming Tournament" was held to shout out words of gratitude for daily thoughts and family by eating locally produced beef.
This event is held every year at this time of year by tourist associations in Yufuin Town, Yufu City, etc. to enliven local tourism.
More than 800 people visit the ranch at the venue every year, and after eating Japanese black beef, which is a local specialty, the participants competed by measuring the loudness of their voices with a machine.
As a countermeasure against the infection of the new coronavirus, this year, the number of visitors was limited to about 100, the loudness of the voice was stopped from being measured by a machine, and the content of the story was examined.
34 people participated in the tournament on the 4th, wearing a face shield and standing in front of the microphone, words of gratitude to the family and school events being canceled one after another due to the influence of the new coronavirus. When I talked about my dissatisfaction with the virus, my voice naturally became louder.
The man who participated said, "While I couldn't go out for a long time, I was able to make a loud voice for the first time in a while and it was refreshing."
Kiichi Tominaga, the head of the Yufuin Onsen Ryokan Association, who serves as an executive committee member, said, "Although it has changed from the usual year, I am happy to be able to hold the tournament safely. I want you to know that. "
