Writer RIKO’s Diary 10 Oct.

The Bingo Fukuyama Autumn Campaign and Sake Festival were held in the square in front of Fukuyama Castle Keep in Hiroshima. While enjoying the scenery changing from dusk to a crescent moon in the night sky, participants enjoyed sake from Tenpoichi, Zuikan from Miyoshi City, Shinrai from Jinsekikogen Town, and Chogun from Shobara City. Against the backdrop of the beautiful, brightly lit Fukuyama Castle, the stage was a success with performances by Japanese drummer and shakuhachi(bamboo flute) player, clarinetist Marie Rin and local singer Nao Kimoto. Everyone wore masks to prevent corona infections but enjoyed freedom at the first outdoor festival event in a long time.
