Bien sûr mais tout d’abord de quoi s’agit-il? Le ‘Namahage’ (なまはげ) est une coutume pratiquée lors du nouvel an dans la péninsule d’Oga, non loin de la préfecture d’Akita. Vêtus de costumes de démon ils visitent les maisons une par une pour menacer les enfants désobéissants et paresseux. Le but n’est pas d’effrayer les enfants mais plutôt de débarrasser les lieux de la mauvaise fortune et des esprits malins. Nous vous présentons pour l’occasion un ‘Izakaya’ (居酒屋, bistrot typique japonais) totalement dédié à ce rituel : Bienvenue au Akita Dining Namahage!
Vous pourrez goûter aux plaisirs d’Akita sous toutes ses formes :
❶ Découvrez des spectacles de Namahage chaque jour
❷ Goûtez au kiritanpo et aux autres plats locaux
❸ Dégustez les différents saké de la préfecture d’Akita.
Ce restaurant très spécial vous attend au 9ème étage du Nakajima Shouji Building à Ginza.
Le bâtiment de l’extérieur est tout à fait classique mais dès l’entrée du restaurant vous plongez dans un univers complètement nouveau. Et soyez sages, saluez le Namahage qui vous attend à l’entrée!
Des Espaces à l’Ambiance Particulière
Entrons dans l’univers d’Akita

⑧ Glace Babahera
La glace 'Babahera' est populaire à Akita! Les mamies en vendent au coin de rue vêtues de tabliers jaunes et rouges et portant un foulard rouge sur la tête. Elles arboreront toujours un large sourire, c’est aussi ça le charme d’Akita. Le nom de cette glace vient justement de là, ‘Baba’ ババ signifie grand-mère/personne âgée et ‘Hera’ ヘラ désigne la cuillère à glace.
