Japan's Biggest Imoni Festival (Yamagata City)

September is the month of imoni (taro potato stew) parties called imonikai in Yamagata Prefecture. This month, people in Yamagata love to sit around a pot of delicious imoni while having a fun time with their family members, friends, or colleagues at the riverside or on the beach. It all starts with Japan’s Biggest Imoni Festival on September 3 in Yamagata City, your first chance of the year to experience the taste of autumn. Eating imoni under a beautiful autumn sky can’t be missed. We hope that you are able to come and enjoy imoni as well as all the other delicious foods and exciting events this September in Yamagata.
We are happy to continue to provide you with information about Yamagata Prefecture throughout the year.
