【無職143日目】
では、食レポです( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
今日は軽井沢の川上庵に行ってきました！
会社員時代は
お盆の前後で長期休暇を取ることが多くて
ここ2-3年、夏は家族で軽井沢の川上庵で蕎麦を食べるのがルーティンになってます
今年は無職子供部屋なので、早め(７月)に行くことになりました🥺
で、ここの蕎麦が本当に美味しいんですよ！
僕の人生においてナンバー1の座に君臨してます( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
そもそも、蕎麦って若い人が好き好んで食べないじゃないですか？🥺
(僕の中では年配の人が食べるイメージです)
でもこの蕎麦屋は若い人にも人気です。
蕎麦はコシがあって食べごたえ抜群
つゆも味がしっかりしているけど、濃すぎず
絶妙
天ぷらはサクサクで素材の旨味も感じれます。
内装は開放感もあってオシャレかつ
テラス席もあり、テラス席はワンちゃんも連れ込み可能という神スペックです🥺
老若男女、つまりカップル、ファミリー、お爺ちゃんお婆ちゃん、みんな楽しめる究極の蕎麦屋になってます(笑)
軽井沢に訪問した際は、軽井沢アウトレットのついでにぜひ立ち寄ってみてください( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
ではでは今日はこのへんで！
[143rd day of unemployment]
Now, here is the food report ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
Today I went to Kawakami-an in Karuizawa!
When I was a company employee
I often take long vacations around Obon.
For the past 2-3 years, my family and I have made it a routine in the summer to eat soba at Kawakami-an in Karuizawa.
This year I am an unemployed man who is living in the children’s room in the parent’s house ,so called “children’s room’s adult” so I decided to go early (July)🥺
And the soba here is really delicious!
It reigns as number one in my life ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
In the first place, young people don’t really like eating soba, do they? 🥺
(In my mind, I imagine older people eating this)
However, this soba restaurant is also popular with young people.
Soba noodles are chewy and very filling.
The soup has a strong flavor, but it’s not too strong.
Exquisite
The tempura is crispy and you can taste the flavor of the ingredients.
The interior has an open feel and is stylish.
There is also a terrace seat, and the terrace seat is a divine spec that you can bring your dog too🥺
It has become the ultimate soba restaurant that everyone can enjoy, young and old, couples, families, grandparents, etc. (lol)
When you visit Karuizawa, be sure to stop by while you are at Karuizawa Outlet ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
Well then, that’s it for today!

*What is Obon?
Obon (お盆) is a traditional Japanese Buddhist event that commemorates one’s ancestors. It is a significant and widely observed festival in Japan and other parts of East Asia. The festival typically takes place in mid-August and involves various rituals, customs, and festivities.
Here are key aspects of Obon:
- Origin and Significance:
- Obon has its roots in Buddhism and is based on the story of Mokuren (Maudgalyayana), one of Buddha’s disciples who had a vision of his deceased mother during the seventh month of the lunar calendar. He discovered that she was suffering in the afterlife and sought Buddha’s guidance to help her. Buddha advised him to make offerings to the monks, which relieved his mother’s suffering. Thus, Obon became a time to honor ancestors and alleviate their suffering in the afterlife.
- Duration:
- Obon typically lasts for three days, known as “Obon-san” or “Obon period.” The specific dates can vary depending on the region in Japan, but it usually falls between August 13 to 16.
- Rituals and Customs:
- During Obon, families visit gravesites to clean and decorate the graves of their ancestors. Offerings of food, flowers, and incense are made to honor and remember the deceased.
- Bon Odori, traditional Japanese folk dances, are performed during Obon festivals. People dance in groups to traditional music to welcome the spirits of their ancestors.
- Floating lanterns or “toro nagashi” are set afloat on rivers, symbolizing the guidance of spirits back to the afterlife at the end of the festival.
- Community Celebrations:
- Obon festivals are held across Japan, and many communities organize various events such as taiko drum performances, street parades, games, food stalls, and more.
- These festivals often bring communities together and provide an opportunity for socializing and enjoying traditional festivities.
- Modern Observance:
- In modern times, Obon is not only a religious event but also a time for family reunions and vacations. Many people take time off work to return to their hometowns and spend time with their families.
Obon holds deep cultural and spiritual significance in Japan, honoring ancestors and promoting a sense of community and family bonds. It’s a time for reflection, remembrance, and togetherness.
