This event is held every year as part of the "Ishigaki Island Festival" held at this time, and about 200 people including octopus fried lovers gathered at the venue.



We brought in octopus with the youkai "Amabie", which is said to protect people from the plague, and octopus with the words "End of Corona Wish", and fried them hoping for the end of infection with the new coronavirus.



In addition, the children who visited the venue were presented with a mini octopus with "Amabie" drawn on it, and the children immediately enjoyed fried octopus.



A man who visited with the child said, "I participated to entertain the child, but I was more absorbed in it. I hope that I will return to my previous life as soon as possible."
