November 23, 2024 - The New Year's Tasting Ceremony Part2 [3] Traditional rituals of the Niinamesai Ceremony A ritual to celebrate a good harvest The rituals of #Ninamesai are unique to each region of Japan, and are centered on giving thanks for the harvest of five grains: rice, barley, millet, beans, and millet. At #shrines in each area, the new harvest is offered to the gods, and traditional events such as hashtag #prayer and #kagura (Shinto music and dance) are held. The rituals are tailored to the #climate and characteristics of the crops in each region, and are linked with thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest and prayers for a bountiful harvest in the following year. How is the ritual of #Ninamesai held in the local area? In rural areas, the custom of celebrating the ritual of the new harvest continues with the hashtag #rural, as local communities come together to celebrate. After the offering of new grains at the shrine, festival participants serve food made from the new grains, and local #traditional performing arts are performed. These festivals are also a time to strengthen #community bonds and to celebrate the year's work with those who have shared the hashtag #farming. [4] Contemporary Significance of Niinamesai The Importance of Gratitude for Agriculture and Food In modern Japan, the ritual has an important significance as well. With the hashtag #farming becoming highly mechanized and the hashtag #food distribution becoming hashtag #globalized, it is an opportunity to reaffirm the importance of nature's bounty and the agriculture that nurtures it. The hashtag #NewTasteSai allows us to appreciate that it takes the labor of many people and the harmony of nature to bring #food to our tables. Examples of community revitalization through the ritual of the new tasting of rice In modern times, there are also examples of #community revitalization through the ritual of the new harvest. Especially in rural areas, the ritual is increasingly being used as a tourism event to promote local specialties. Markets selling local #new rice, #vegetables, and #fruits, as well as festivals with the hashtag #harvest festival, are held in conjunction with the #NewTameSai to attract tourists and contribute to the #revitalization of the local economy.

Tourism in Rome Rome is the capital of Italy, boasting many sites from ancient times that can tell us stories about the Ancient Roman Empire, amazing food, and an intriguing culture.   When coming to Italy and Rome specifically a big selling point is the food. Italian cuisine is known for having a very carbohydrate based diet but surprisingly is also easily sustainable without health issues. The reason for this is that when comparing European flour to American flour we can find some major differences. The first is that American wheat is sprayed by glyphosate which  is common on many GMO’s and can lead to indigestion or other issues. In Europe the practice of spraying glyphosate on crops to prevent pests is banned. The second reason is that the flour in Europe has less protein in it which means there is less gluten and it will be easier on your stomach in the digestion process. A healthier flour combined with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables grown in Italy’s rich soil creates many dishes that just can’t be replicated anywhere else. Personally I think that the main reason a lot of people choose to come to Rome is to have good food combined with seeing plenty of historical sites. Rome is by far the most traveled city in Italy and in 2019 Rome was the 17th most traveled city in the world.  Rome is going to see most of its tourism from Europe with the most being Germany, then France, then the UK. They also have many visitors from the U.S. and China.  After arriving in Rome nearly a week ago now and having toured many other cities in Italy prior, Rome has many differences. One thing that seems to be unique to Rome cuisine is meat skewers and side dish potatoes. Rome also seems more interconnected than the other cities in terms of walkability to all necessary means of living. Next week I’ll be diving into a beautiful city just outside of Rome called Tivoli. This summer I will be serving as a consultant for Terre di Otium, which is the Destination Management Organization (DMO) for the Aniene Valley. I hope to help show others about Tivoli and all the interesting places within it. Heather Sprandel #hogsabroad #BeEPIC #MarketingInRome #WaltonCollege

“I put the anchovies in the pan and they started dancing ..…” ( From a song written for anchovy) Evliyâ Çelebi, one of the most important travellers who lived throughout history, is an important person not only for Turks but also for the whole world. Selected by the Council of Europe as "one of the 20 most important people shaping humanity in the 21st century", Evliyâ Çelebi's work has been included in the UNESCO Memory of the World List and is among the 100 Essential Works and is a giant work far beyond a travel book. This work, written in a fluent narrative, contains not only the events that took place, but also a lot of information in cultural, historical, economic and gastronomic terms. It tells unique information about the nutritional cultures of the 17th century Ottoman world and its neighbours. In this study, we will witness the social, cultural, artistic, archaeological, agricultural and economic information of the regions visited by Evliyâ Çelebi during his 50 years of travel, as well as the vast gastronomic information he gave about food cultures and foodstuffs. https://lnkd.in/dN2pPcSB
