At this special event, visitors will be able to get their fill of Iwate’s food and local sake while viewing traditional local arts that have been passed down from generation to generation.

• Wanko soba is a traditional specialty dish representative of Iwate Prefecture. The waiter will fill the bowls with one bite-size serving of soba after another, and the bowls will stack up higher the more you eat. Take your shot at the first World Wanko Soba Championship!
