I went to the opening game of Tokushima Gambaroos (Asty Tokushima). Their opponent was Yokohama Excellence. It was an important matchup against a strong opponent who finished third in the postseason last year. I was really fired up for this historic match. First of all, I left my house before 2:00 p.m. on October 6 to be the first one to enter the Gambaroos' game. When I arrived at the Asty Tokushima parking lot an hour later, I couldn't help but say, "Huh?" I said to myself. My expectation was that the parking lot would still be empty, but about ...

October 31, 2023 For the residents of Tokushima Prefecture, it was not a day for Halloween. It was the day Kawada Manjyu "Chokudo" closed its doors for the last time in its 151-year history. I was really surprised when I heard on the news that the store was closing due to the aging of the store, the aging of the craftsmen, and the rising cost of living. Rumor had it that for about a month leading up to the closing, the store had been packed with customers lining up day after day and selling out within two or three hours ...

On October 1, a Pokémon card event was held at the Shikoku University Exchange Plaza. The event was limited to 200 people, and I was lucky enough to win the lottery when I applied for the event. This time, I would like to write about the event. First of all, after completing the reception on the first floor, I saw a glittering light-up display. There were two cards that looked awesome and a big trophy with a cute Pikachu on it. I immediately took a picture. Apparently, it is a commemorative card for being the strongest in Japan. I can't ...

After enjoying a solitary liver test contest and a canned food party for the evening, I stood up with a bit of enthusiasm and said, "Okay! I stood up with a bit of enthusiasm. I stumbled out into the hallway feeling tipsy, grabbed some coins, and staggered down to the reception desk. I called out to the innkeeper, "Excuse me," and he came out and said, "Yes. Ginger ale, please," I said, handing him a hokey 200 yen. Bottled drinks (cola, ginger ale, orange juice) cost 200 yen. If you don't have your own bottle opener, don't worry. They will ...

I went to the Nishi-Awa fireworks. The Nishi-Awa Fireworks is a large-scale fireworks event in which pyrotechnicians from all over Japan gather in Miyoshi City to compete in their respective skills. Unlike most fireworks shows, this is a fireworks "competition". Since this is the first time the event has been held in four years since the previous one in 2019, the battle for tickets was quite fierce. Moreover, it was not only tickets for viewing seats that were up for grabs. We also needed tickets for the parking lot. I managed to obtain two types of tickets and went to ...

Kawada Manjyu I got the other day. I bought a box of 30 pieces and divided half of them among my family members on the same day. I kept the other half. As I have mentioned before, Kawada manjyu goes very well with alcohol. Personally, I love to pair it with distilled spirits such as whiskey and shochu, which I learned from my senpai. Last time, however, we paired it with a Western whiskey that had nothing to do with Tokushima Prefecture. We wanted to prepare a sake with a connection to Tokushima Prefecture. The first thing that came to ...

Tokushima Gambaroos VS Kagoshima Rebunays This time, I decided to be first in line to watch the race at the Nihon Funen Civic Plaza in Yoshinogawa City, my hometown. It had been a whole month since I had watched the opening game of the season last month (October 07, 2023). So it had been a whole month. I wonder if the people I was able to meet that day are coming back. My brother Ma, who was unable to come to the last season opener due to work, was also able to watch the Gambaroos live for the first time ...
