Unseen Japan trip Don’t miss out on visiting

编者寄语 Imagine, if you will, the Shinkansen bullet train cutting swift progress through a snow storm on its way from Tokyo to Honshu. I sit here now, reminiscing, recollecting my March 17th visit, of the pure snow blanket which could be seen out of both left and right sides of the train. Snowy layers in a traveller’s dream location, a place with so much to offer, so much to see, do and experience. This place I speak of is Akita prefecture within the Tohoku region of northern Honshu, the main island of Japan. When travelers have visited the major cities in Japan and are looking for new experiences, I suggest that Akita would be a fine choice. The prefecture of Akita has immense natural beauty, pine forests, mountains ranges, lakes, and cherry blossom trees which when in full splendor are second to none. Akita also has a rich history of the Samurai, ancient villages, and is known for its fine Sake and delicious Soba noodles. The cultivation of rice is an important economic activity for this prefecture and when the weather turns colder, Akita can offer relaxing Onsen, a traditional and world famous Japanese hot mineral bath. Within this special 25th edition of 24life our team is immensely proud to recommend Akita prefecture which is a location of beauty in each of its four seasons and is ready to welcome visitors all year round. Please allow me to give my sincere thanks to Ms. Parichat Suntararak, Mr. Hiroshi Susaki and all the residents of Akita prefecture for their hospitable welcome. Thank you to Pinrada Pitikornthanakul from Air Macau for facilitating the trouble free passage to Japan, allowing us to share our experiences and the joys which Akita has to offer.
当列车高速行驶在风雪之中，正从 东京出发一路向北前往本州岛。在刚刚 过去的2017年3月，有幸前往了白雪公主 的世界，道路两岸的景色美不胜收。这 就是此次日本北部东北省秋田之旅。 如果您已经对厌倦了日本的大城 市，正在寻找新的旅行目的地，那么我 觉得秋田是一个不错的选择。这里有着 美丽的自然风光，广阔的松树林、泻 湖、还有春天美丽的樱花，绝不逊色于 其他地方。这里还充满着有关武士的故 事，以酿造清酒和种植水稻为主产业村 庄。当然，如果天气寒冷，还可以去秋
田的温泉池泡泡温泉，别有一番滋味。 24life第十五期隆重推出关于秋田的 四季美景。在这里要特别感谢Parichat Suntararak先生和Hiroshi Susaki先生， 以及秋田每一位慷慨好客的朋友。感谢 澳门航空Pinrada Pitikornthanakul先生 的热情款待和为此次日本之行提供最舒 适的出行方式，让我们将全新的秋田体 验分享给大家。 希望读者能和我们一样感受到秋田 的无限魅力，并且祝愿大家旅途愉快！
I sincerely hope that our readers will be as amazed as I was with Akita and wish everybody happy travels as you broaden your horizons with your journeys.

Furthermore, in this garden there is the Daimyo Satake monument, and at the Shinto shrine there is a beautiful red Torii arch.

anto Festival in Akita City is the biggest and most beautiful lantern festival in Japan. The festival goes from the 3rd to the 6th of August, and this festival is one in six big festivals of Tohoku. The festival is held to bring good luck for the harvest season because Akita is a farming region. All the lanterns in the parade are attached to sticks
that are tied crossways onto a pole that can be from two to six metres long, and swings and waves like the wind blowing ears of rice. The person who holds a lantern pole must be a professional to be able to balance the lanterns together and not drop the pole. It is a colourful and fun festival time.
秋田市一年一度的花灯 节是当地特别隆重的节日， 在每年的八月三号-六号举 行，这也是东北地区六大节 日之一。由于当地以农业为 主，所以花灯节也是在为收 获的季节祈福。 展出的花灯则栓在长为 2-6米的竹竿，随风东摇西晃 的。所以手持竹竿的人要有 一定经验，才能不使灯笼掉 下来。这也是花灯节上最精 彩的一幕。 24 LIFE M a g a z i n e l 23

O

The Namahage story inspires the Tohoku people in their beliefs. There are many stories about the origin of Namahage and some believe 24 l 24 LIFE M a g a z i n e
that Namahage comes from China. One belief is that Namahage is a god or the giant of the lofty mountain, and he appears in winter in the end of the year, and goes to houses to find children who tell lies and are lazy. No matter where people are in Akita, they can see Namahage.
矗立的道路的两旁，这 反映了当地人民对于鬼神的 传说。对于Namahage的传 说有很多种，一部分人认 为Namahage是从中国传入 的，是天神或者山鬼在最冷 的时候出来，进入农家来抓 偷懒和爱说谎的小孩。在这 里无论走到哪里都能看到 Namahage。

There are a hundred Namahage puppets and every one of them has a beautiful and different mask. In addition, there is a huge Namahage costume to try on. Before going home, there is a souvenir shop where tourists can buy Namahage products.

Furthermore, the weather here is frosty and the yeast ferments slowly in the rice, so that the Sake is not bitter like Sake from other

清酒对于日本人来说是最 古老的饮品，这里也是清酒最 大的生产基地。当地特有的水 质、土壤种出高品质的水稻， 再加上温度的适中，所以在生 产清酒过程中，水稻会慢慢的 发酵，不会像其他地方的清酒 带有苦味。 Suzuki Shuzoten是日本 最老的清酒厂之一，它们的清 酒也是秋田地区最好喝清酒。 这个酒厂建于1689年，已经 传承了19代，现如今还在使 用古老的方式来生产清酒，还 可以去酒厂参观一番。

It brings together the professionals who make the best fireworks in Japan, so that they can compete with each other and showcase their skills.

Sakura Souvenir DIY, Semboku 仙北市的手工樱花纪念品
T
here is a fun activity in Semboku for the tourist, and this activity is just for exclusive groups to book in advance. The activity is bringing the bark from Yamasakura that is growing up on the top of the hill, and is very hard to find in Kakunodate town. After tourists bring the bark down, they make words or shapes by using a hot iron to burn their designs onto
the bark. These are kept by the tourists as their unique self-made souvenir.
在这里还有为提前预定 的游客准备的有趣的活动， 利用山樱花树皮来制作纪念 品，这种原材料在当地也是 非常难找的。将树皮制作成 想要的形状或字母，然后粘 在木板上，然后用烧红的铁
器来熨烫木板，将做好的纪 念品留个纪念。

这个手工也是从古代流 传下来的，以前是用来制作 盛放东西的盒子，比如：便 当盒等等。

It’s important to note that this speciality restaurant is only open when the local red snapper are available. The red snapper must be large and fresh, weighing at least six or seven kilograms. The chef personally selects the best and finest fish for diners,
to ensure an exquisite gourmet experience. Red snapper in pumice soup (Ishiyaki nabe) This special dish uses a pumice stone that is heated in a fire. When it is very hot, it is placed in a soup bowl with the freshest red snapper, rice, seaweed and sashimi. This combination of ingredients is cooked with the heated pumice, making a very delicious and hearty soup of the finest flavour. 只是听到这个名字就 想去尝尝了，这家店已经有 着60年的历史。餐厅的营业 时间也很特别，餐厅只在有 红笛鲷的当天营业，红笛鲷 每个大约在6-7千克。这里 的红笛鲷非常新鲜，每条都 是直接从渔船上运到店里。 而且餐厅也特别远，要从秋 田市开车前往男鹿市。
Another speciality of this restaurant is the original Japanese sushi, made by combining Haba fish with steamed rice. This dish of quality fish and rice has a sour and delightfully flavoursome taste. It’s an absolute pleasure to eat, and it is well worth the effort of seeking out this rare treat. The exclusive and intimate Minoko restaurant is staffed

Takeshi是一家精致的日式 餐厅，我从来没有来过这样的 餐厅。我的朋友Hiroshi告诉我 这里是秋田最好的餐厅之一。 接下来我们介绍这家店的 特色。从点菜开始，我们让服 务员全程推荐，不用为要吃什 么发愁，请看详细介绍 。
Kinai jitori and Tofu mousse. (Akita Chicken on top of Tofu)
基纳吉司和豆腐慕斯 A tofu made from a combination of soy milk and evaporated milk, topped with Akita chicken. The mousse -like texture of the tofu, when eaten, gives the aroma of fresh milk. A sprinkling of strongly -aromatic herbs combined with the finely minced chicken gives an incredible flavour that is almost indescribable. 光是名字就让人耳目一 新，将豆腐和牛奶混合，有着 一股鲜牛奶的香味。我也是第 一次尝试这种美食，其中还有 一种特殊的苦味草本，这种草 本只有雪融化这个时期才有。 鸡肉加上调味品后，根本看不 出是鸡肉。这道菜的味道简直 无法用言语形容。

Akita meat (Akita Ushi) 秋田牛肉 This item is known as Akita Ushi or Akita meat. it’s a refreshingly simple slow-grilled dish of meat, mushrooms and other ingredients. Regardless of whether the meat is rare or well-done this meal is tender and full of flavour, even without the addition of a sauce. 这里的牛肉被切成方 块，没有一丁点脂肪，这也 是在日本才特有的。将牛肉 烤后，香味十足，无论是全 熟还是半熟，牛肉会在嘴里 慢慢的融化，不需要添加任 何辅料。
Makuro Sashimi
(tuna belly sushi) 野生生鱼片
Tuna belly sushi, prepared by using the belly of a large tuna that is rich in omega three. Every bite melts in the mouth. The texture of the fresh fish is firm and crunchy to the bite, and it melts in the mouth. The tuna flesh is so exquisitely flavoursome that it can be enjoyed on its own, without a sauce. 金枪鱼的肚子含有丰 富的脂肪酸，将鱼肉放进嘴 里，新鲜度，香气和味道扑 鼻而来，几乎不需要使用任 何调料。
Kibasa tempura with macha salt Kibasa天麸罗和抹茶盐 This special tempura is made from seaweed. The meat has a delightful chewy texture and is very juicy. It makes for enjoyable eating when dipped in green tea mixed with salt. It tastes a little bit salty and bitter, with an excellent aroma, and is served with shrimp tempura in a beautiful basket. 天麸罗使用秋田海域特有的 海带制成。有点黏黏的，外 加上抹茶盐，将咸、苦、香 三味完美的融合在一起。盛 放在豪华的篮子中，再加上 虾肉，完美极了！所以这里 的确是日本的精品餐厅
