| Under the festival food stands at the Senmaida light-up, one woman was wielding a blow torch. Turns out she was making crème brûlée. But not just any kind - it was pumpkin crème brûlée! And you got to keep the little cat-and-pumpkin ceramic bowl it came in. Of course I had two. |

| Udon, before and after. People from Nanao's Japanese sister-city were also down Ipponsugi for the festival, cooking specialty udon under large tents. It was my first time to eat the "soup" without broth. |
 |
| A winter staple food: nabe. Nabe is a soup made of fresh vegetables and meat, boiled in a broth at your table. This massive amount of vegetables soon dissolved into the pot, and we split the soup four-ways. It was perfect after exploring Ipponsugi, watching a sumo match, and walking out in the cold rain. |
