About this event
Held for the first time in Yuza Town, Yamagata Prefecture, "Gani Fes" is an autumn festival where visitors can taste "gani-jiru," a local dish made with Japanese mitten crabs caught in the Gekko River. Gani-jiru features a rich umami flavor made from an extract of crushed whole mitten crabs, and only 100 bowls will be sold. A single bowl is 800 yen, and a set with boiled crab is 1,000 yen. The event runs from 10:00 to 14:00, with gani-jiru sales starting at 11:00. In addition, a river crab catching experience is planned at the venue, allowing adults and children alike to connect with the nature of the Gekko River. On the same day and at the same facility, the "1st Yuza Fes" will be held concurrently, featuring food stalls and a music stage. Admission is free and no reservation is required.
