So I would like to share about foods and products of Tottori with you.

Monster cookie (Manzyu)

















Sakai port is the home of Japanese monster animation ’GeGeGe no Kitaro’.
So there are many products related to monster things.

Among them, Monster Manzyu is very popular.
Product is wrapped in ‘Monster paper’ in the picture above.
It can work in two ways that you can buy Manzyu and monster paper also!

















Monster Manzyu look three-dimensional.  :)

But you can taste a lot of crab foods for people who can’t visit Tottori during these season.

Kani Miso-shiru(Crab soup)
























This is instant Japanese traditional soup.
It is convenient and delicious!
This food is really good when you are busy in the morning.
It is instant food but not so cheap because it is made of crab.

Put Crab soup in a bowl then stir with hot water!

Boil the Zosui and rice then put a well-stirred egg lastly.
When it is cold, this food is easy to take and tastes great.
