Store in Nihonbashi, Tokyo during Feb. 25-March 3, 2014. On March 2 (Sun.), we checked out some of Shiga&#8217;s trademark products including funazushi fermented fish, Omi beef, Biwa pearls, <a href=\"https:\/\/shiga-ken.com\/blog\/2015\/10\/otsu-e-paintings-now-and-then\/\">Otsu-e paintings<\/a>, and the latest book from Sunrise Shuppan.&nbsp;Hiko-nyan also made an appearance on the rooftop stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We bought quite a bit of food, but found no place to sit and eat inside the dept. store. The food section had&nbsp;a tiny dining area, but it was too crowded. There was the rooftop, but it was too cold. We ended up having an &#8220;Omi picnic&#8221; while sitting on a few chairs (no tables) near the staircase. The Omi Fair is held annually at Takashimaya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those of you who use a Mac, start up the built-in Dictionary and type &#8220;\u7269\u7523&#8221; (bussan) under the Japanese-English dictionary. Interesting to see the example given for &#8220;\u7269\u7523\u5c55.&#8221; That&#8217;s how famous products from Shiga are.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"627\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/shiga-ken.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DictionaryBussanShiga.png\" alt=\"Mac's Dictionary result.\" class=\"wp-image-2956\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shiga-ken.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DictionaryBussanShiga.png 627w, https:\/\/shiga-ken.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DictionaryBussanShiga-150x67.png 150w, https:\/\/shiga-ken.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/DictionaryBussanShiga-500x224.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video link:&nbsp;http:\/\/youtu.be\/aYVMeAMgaW8 My short video of the Omi-ten Shiga Prefecture Food and Crafts Fair (\u7b2c26\u56de \u7435\u7436\u6e56\u5922\u8857\u9053\u5927\u8fd1\u6c5f\u5c55) held at Takashimaya Dept.
