ame yobare, ameyobare 飴よばれ
There is nothing better on a cold winter day than to sit with your neighbours, taste some sweet ame and some tsukemono vegetables and chat. Especially in the Aizu area, this is a common treat in winter.
Made only with mochigome rice and sprouts from wheat this AME has a natural malt sugar sweetness 麦芽糖. It takes the housewife two or three days to simmer the ingredients slowly to a thick sweet broth and neighbours take pride in showing their skill at making it. So it is also a socializing event. Because it takes time to stir and simmer, the housewifes can not make it during the busy summer months.

Süßigkeiten aus Tohoku
Die Winter in Tohoku sind kalt und schneereich, aber dadurch haben die Hausfrauen endlich Zeit für etwas Süße. Mehr als drei Tage dauert es, bis der Mochi-Klebreis zusammen mit den selbst gezogenen Weizenkeimsprossen ständig gerührt und zusammengesimmert ist. Nun ist es soweit, die Nachbarinnen kommen zum Probieren, denn diese „Einladung zum gemeinsamen Essen von Malzzucker-Sirup“ (ame yobare 飴呼ばれ) ist ein soziales Ereignis. Der Sirup wird in Reisschalen gegossen, mit etwas Puderzucker bestreut und als Kontrastgeschmack kommt noch etwas eingelegtes Gemüse auf den Tisch – das ist alles, der Rest ist das Gespräch, Plaudern unter Freundinnen, Klatsch aus dem Dorf als scharfe Würze.
Wenn der Schnee nicht rechzeitig schmolz, kam es oft im Frühjahr zu Nahrungsmittelknappheit, wenn die Vorräte aufgezehrt waren (shunkyuu 春窮 ). Not macht erfinderisch, besonders die Hungersnot, und so gehen einige Zubereitungsarten zurück auf die Große Hungersnot von Tenmei im Jahre 1782.
Für die „Kiefernrinde-Reiskuchen“ (matsukawa mochi) wurde in einigen Regionen Akitas die Korkschicht unter der Rinde der japanischen Rotkiefer mühsam abgekratzt und einige Tage weich gekocht. Diese Masse diente zur Verlängerung des gestampften Klebreises für die Reiskuchen. Die Rotkiefer, ein Symbol des langen Lebens, war ein glückverheißender Baum und so wurden diese Reiskuchen auch bei Festen gereicht, zum neuen Jahr und besonders beim Puppenfest am dritten März, wo sie ein Bestandteil der „dreifarbigen Fest-Reiskuchen“ (hishimochi) dieser Gegend sind.
Nach dem ersten Frost wurden die Blätter vieler Bäume gesammelt und mit Blättern von Gemüse, z. B. Gobo fein zerrieben. Der Brei wird wiederum dem Klebreis beigemischt und daraus Reiskuchen geformt. Diese mineralhaltigen haltbaren Nahrungsmittel hingen bis zum Frühjahr unter den Hausgiebeln, dem natürlichen Kühlschrank der Bergregionen.
Auch Esskastanien werden zu Puder gestampft und dem Klebreis für Reiskuchen untergemischt (kurikomochi).
Beifuß wächst überall wie Unkraut. Die Blätter werden getrocknet, kleingestampft und dem Klebreis untergemischt. Von Hand läßt sich diese Masse einfach in kleine Kugeln formen, die mit Blättern von Bambusgras (sasa 笹) umwickelt werden. Schon sind die „Bambusgras-Bällchen“ (sasa dango 笹団子) fertig. Sie sind in Niigata und Fukushima besonders beliebt.
„Zunda“ sind gekochte, geriebene grüne Edamame-Bohnen. Die Masse wird auf weiße Mochi-Reiskuchen geschmiert und als ein farbenprächtiger Imbiss gereicht.
Billiges Konfekt aus Sendai (Sendai dagashi)
Hervorgegangen aus dem einfachen Malzzucker-Sirup der Hausfrauen ohne weitere Süßstoffe begannen in der Edo-Zeit die Zuckerbäcker von Sendai, auf dieser Basis allerlei billiges Konfekt herzustellen. Bald hatten sie mehr als 100 verschiedene Süßigkeiten zusammengestellt, von einfachen runden Bonbons bis zu Mini-Zöpfchen, Zuckerhasen und Plätzchen aus Reisresten. Ihre besten Kunden waren die Kinder der Nachbarschaft, aber der Name „Dagashi“ verbindet sich heute mit vielen Kleinigkeiten, Süßigkeiten und Spielzeug, das die Kinder von ihrem kargen Taschengeld kaufen können; die Erwachsenen verbinden damit nostalgische Erinnerungen an die eigene Jugend. Oft gewinnen die Kinder auch noch mit einem Extra-Los eine weiter Kleinigkeit, alles bunt eingewickelt und appetitanregend. Der Dagashiya-Laden war der wichtigste Versammlungsort nach der Schule.
„Kranich-Manju“ (tsuruko manju) aus der Stadt Hachinohe sind eng verbunden mit dem großen Schrein Kushibiki Hachimangu aus dem 11.Jhd. Der erste Laden, der diese Manju herstellte, war Maneido an der hinteren Zugangsstraße zum Schrein. Der Ladenbesitzer machte sich Sorgen wegen seiner ungünstige Lage am Hinterausgang und bat den Gott im Schrein um seine Hilfe. Im Traum wurde er alsbald einem Kranich gewahr und schon war der Gedanke zu einem weißen Manju geboren. Brauner Rohrzucker und Reis aus der Gegend geben diesem Manju seinen unverwechselbaren Geschmack. Die Füllung besteht aus getrocknetem süßen Bohnenmus, daher ist der Manju recht hart zum Beißen, aber auf Wunsch der Kunden stellt Maneido auch Versionen mit weichem Bohnenmus her.
Klößchen mit Sesampaste (gomasuri dango) aus Iwate sind kontrastreich, außen schneeweiß, innen kohlschwarz. Die geriebene Paste aus schwarzen Sesamkörnern wird noch angesüßt und bildet auch einen geschmacklichen Kontrast zu dem neutralen Klebreis-Klößchen. „Gomasuri“, das kann aber auch „Schmeichelei“ bedeuten!

ame yobare, ameyobare 飴よばれ
There is nothing better on a cold winter day than to sit with your neighbours, taste some sweet ame and some tsukemono vegetables and chat. Especially in the Aizu area, this is a common treat in winter.
Made only with mochigome rice and sprouts from wheat this AME has a natural malt sugar sweetness 麦芽糖. It takes the housewife two or three days to simmer the ingredients slowly to a thick sweet broth and neighbours take pride in showing their skill at making it. So it is also a socializing event. Because it takes time to stir and simmer, the housewifes can not make it during the busy summer months.

Süßigkeiten aus Tohoku
Die Winter in Tohoku sind kalt und schneereich, aber dadurch haben die Hausfrauen endlich Zeit für etwas Süße. Mehr als drei Tage dauert es, bis der Mochi-Klebreis zusammen mit den selbst gezogenen Weizenkeimsprossen ständig gerührt und zusammengesimmert ist. Nun ist es soweit, die Nachbarinnen kommen zum Probieren, denn diese „Einladung zum gemeinsamen Essen von Malzzucker-Sirup“ (ame yobare 飴呼ばれ) ist ein soziales Ereignis. Der Sirup wird in Reisschalen gegossen, mit etwas Puderzucker bestreut und als Kontrastgeschmack kommt noch etwas eingelegtes Gemüse auf den Tisch – das ist alles, der Rest ist das Gespräch, Plaudern unter Freundinnen, Klatsch aus dem Dorf als scharfe Würze.
Wenn der Schnee nicht rechzeitig schmolz, kam es oft im Frühjahr zu Nahrungsmittelknappheit, wenn die Vorräte aufgezehrt waren (shunkyuu 春窮 ). Not macht erfinderisch, besonders die Hungersnot, und so gehen einige Zubereitungsarten zurück auf die Große Hungersnot von Tenmei im Jahre 1782.
Für die „Kiefernrinde-Reiskuchen“ (matsukawa mochi) wurde in einigen Regionen Akitas die Korkschicht unter der Rinde der japanischen Rotkiefer mühsam abgekratzt und einige Tage weich gekocht. Diese Masse diente zur Verlängerung des gestampften Klebreises für die Reiskuchen. Die Rotkiefer, ein Symbol des langen Lebens, war ein glückverheißender Baum und so wurden diese Reiskuchen auch bei Festen gereicht, zum neuen Jahr und besonders beim Puppenfest am dritten März, wo sie ein Bestandteil der „dreifarbigen Fest-Reiskuchen“ (hishimochi) dieser Gegend sind.
Nach dem ersten Frost wurden die Blätter vieler Bäume gesammelt und mit Blättern von Gemüse, z. B. Gobo fein zerrieben. Der Brei wird wiederum dem Klebreis beigemischt und daraus Reiskuchen geformt. Diese mineralhaltigen haltbaren Nahrungsmittel hingen bis zum Frühjahr unter den Hausgiebeln, dem natürlichen Kühlschrank der Bergregionen.
Auch Esskastanien werden zu Puder gestampft und dem Klebreis für Reiskuchen untergemischt (kurikomochi).
Beifuß wächst überall wie Unkraut. Die Blätter werden getrocknet, kleingestampft und dem Klebreis untergemischt. Von Hand läßt sich diese Masse einfach in kleine Kugeln formen, die mit Blättern von Bambusgras (sasa 笹) umwickelt werden. Schon sind die „Bambusgras-Bällchen“ (sasa dango 笹団子) fertig. Sie sind in Niigata und Fukushima besonders beliebt.
„Zunda“ sind gekochte, geriebene grüne Edamame-Bohnen. Die Masse wird auf weiße Mochi-Reiskuchen geschmiert und als ein farbenprächtiger Imbiss gereicht.
Billiges Konfekt aus Sendai (Sendai dagashi)
Hervorgegangen aus dem einfachen Malzzucker-Sirup der Hausfrauen ohne weitere Süßstoffe begannen in der Edo-Zeit die Zuckerbäcker von Sendai, auf dieser Basis allerlei billiges Konfekt herzustellen. Bald hatten sie mehr als 100 verschiedene Süßigkeiten zusammengestellt, von einfachen runden Bonbons bis zu Mini-Zöpfchen, Zuckerhasen und Plätzchen aus Reisresten. Ihre besten Kunden waren die Kinder der Nachbarschaft, aber der Name „Dagashi“ verbindet sich heute mit vielen Kleinigkeiten, Süßigkeiten und Spielzeug, das die Kinder von ihrem kargen Taschengeld kaufen können; die Erwachsenen verbinden damit nostalgische Erinnerungen an die eigene Jugend. Oft gewinnen die Kinder auch noch mit einem Extra-Los eine weiter Kleinigkeit, alles bunt eingewickelt und appetitanregend. Der Dagashiya-Laden war der wichtigste Versammlungsort nach der Schule.
„Kranich-Manju“ (tsuruko manju) aus der Stadt Hachinohe sind eng verbunden mit dem großen Schrein Kushibiki Hachimangu aus dem 11.Jhd. Der erste Laden, der diese Manju herstellte, war Maneido an der hinteren Zugangsstraße zum Schrein. Der Ladenbesitzer machte sich Sorgen wegen seiner ungünstige Lage am Hinterausgang und bat den Gott im Schrein um seine Hilfe. Im Traum wurde er alsbald einem Kranich gewahr und schon war der Gedanke zu einem weißen Manju geboren. Brauner Rohrzucker und Reis aus der Gegend geben diesem Manju seinen unverwechselbaren Geschmack. Die Füllung besteht aus getrocknetem süßen Bohnenmus, daher ist der Manju recht hart zum Beißen, aber auf Wunsch der Kunden stellt Maneido auch Versionen mit weichem Bohnenmus her.
Klößchen mit Sesampaste (gomasuri dango) aus Iwate sind kontrastreich, außen schneeweiß, innen kohlschwarz. Die geriebene Paste aus schwarzen Sesamkörnern wird noch angesüßt und bildet auch einen geschmacklichen Kontrast zu dem neutralen Klebreis-Klößchen. „Gomasuri“, das kann aber auch „Schmeichelei“ bedeuten!

Yamagata Prefecture (山形県, Yamagata-ken)
is a prefecture of Japan located in the Tohoku region on Honshū island. Its capital is Yamagata.
The aboriginal Ezo people (蝦夷) once inhabited the area now known as Yamagata. During the Heian Period (794–1185), the Fujiwara (藤原) family ruled the area. Yamagata City flourished during the Edo Period (1603–1867) due to its status as a castle town and post station, famous for beni (red safflower dye used in the production of handspun silk).
In 1649, the famous haiku poet, Matsuo Bashō visited Yamagata during his five-month trip to the northern regions of Japan. Yamagata, with Akita Prefecture, composed Dewa Province until the Meiji Restoration.
Yamagata Prefecture is the largest producer of cherries and pears in Japan. A large quantity of other kinds of fruits such as grapes, apples, peaches, melons, persimmons and watermelons are also produced here.

Annual potato stew festival held in Yamagata
Thousands of people have enjoyed potato stew cooked in a giant pot at an annual event in Yamagata City, northern Japan.
The organizers began cooking the stew in a 6-meter diameter pot on Sunday morning. They used 1,200 kilograms of beef, 3,000 kilograms of taro potatoes and 3,500 Japanese leeks.
Thirty-thousand servings were sold for 300 yen, or about 4 dollars.
The organizers checked the radiation levels of the ingredients due to concerns about possible contamination from the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
They also invited 120 people who had to evacuate their homes because of the March 11th disasters.
The chief organizer, Akira Kaitou, says he hopes everyone will feel happy about eating tasty food from Yamagata Prefecture.

Carp farming may have started in
Yayoi period: fossil study
People in Japan’s Yayoi period may have already been engaged in carp farming for winter storage, a group of researchers said Thursday, based on a recent study on fossils of young carp’s teeth discovered at a major archeological site. According to the group, the analysis based on the discovery at the Asahi site in Aichi Prefecture, a huge moated settlement from the 4th century B.C. to the 4th century A.D., marks the earliest illustration of carp farming in Japan.
‘‘I suppose Yayoi people released carp in the spawning season into rice fields, moats or ponds, and that the fish produced eggs—a primitive farming probably started in such a way,’’ said Tsuneo Nakajima, a senior curator specializing in fish ecology at the Lake Biwa Museum in Shiga Prefecture, which analyzed the fossils. The finding is also significant because people in the Yayoi period had been thought to have procured food mainly by hunting and gathering, the researchers said.

Separated from the principal Japanese centres of commerce, politics, and population by several hundred kilometres and the Ōu and Dewa mountain ranges to the east, Akita remained largely isolated from Japanese society until after the year 600. Akita was a region of hunter-gatherers and principally nomadic tribes.
Like much of the Tōhoku Region, Akita's economy remains dominated by traditional industries, such as agriculture, fishing, and forestry.

It is essential for the people to survive in the winter months.
Beliebt als Sushi oder mit Salz gegrillt (shioyaki) in Akita.
Er hat keine Schuppen und wenig kleine Gräten und die Wirbelsäule lässt sich leicht vom Fleisch ablösen. Wenn man den gegrillten Fisch fest am Schwanzende anfasst, lässt sich die Wirbelsäule einfach vom Kopfende her herausziehen.
Der weibliche Hatahata trägt die Eier, die als „Eiersack“-Snack beliebt sind (burikko ぶりっこ). The egg sack can be the size of a man's fist.

quote
Hata-hata is really sticky and strange-looking fish because it doesn’t have any scales. What the most famous about Hata-hata is its egg, Buriko. It is really big about to explode, and the taste is chewy and jelly like. It is cooked as Shotsuru nabe, Hata-hata pot, Hata-hata sushi, and broiled fish. Many old Akita people love it because of its history.
According to my parents, people in my grandparents and my parents generation ate Hata-hata almost every day in winter instead of sweets since fishermen had a big catch of Hata-hata, and it was really cheep like 500 yen per one box which contained about 50 Hata-hata. However, the number of Hata-hata decreased because of too mach catch, and Hata-hata costs 500 yen for 3 at present. Therefore, old Akita people miss Hata-hata in their memory, and want to eat it even if it costs high.
鰰、 魚雷
In Japanese, Hata-hata is expressed in Kanji as Fish plus God, or Fish plus Thunder. Since Hata-hata gather close to beach when it thunders, people might think Hata-hata is God of fish.

hatahata ハタハタ is the name of the fish, but its roe is called "roe from buri" (buriko). During the Edo period, the lord of Satake (former name for Akita) forbid to eat the roe of hatahata. So the fishermen caught it nevertheless and called it "roe from buri" (buriko).
Another story tells of the lord of Mito, Satake Yoshinobu 佐竹義宣, who was transferred to live in Akita. Since yellowtail (buri) was not served for the New Year food, he called the other roe BURIKO and enjoyed it as such as a nostalgic food.
buriko are the round sacks of eggs that float in the sea. The roe taken from the fish after cutting it up is much softer.
buriko is seldom eaten raw, because the egg membrane is very hard. It is put in vinegar and soysauce and sometimes fried just a little.
The semem sacks of the male are called shirako 白子.
It is a deep-sea fish that comes to shallow wates along some areas, where rivers flow into the sea and there is plenty of kelp to shelter the young fish. The buriko is said to be in various colors, according to what the fish eat most.
Grilled hatahata was one of the fish arranged on a tray as offering for the Namahage Demons during the New Year celebrations of the Oga peninsula.

The fish was caught in such numbers, that it was fermented in large barrels into a salty liquid called "shotsuru" or "shottsuru しょっつる【塩汁】
". This process laste for three years, until the fish was almost completely discomposed. This shotsuru liquid is used to flavor many dishes in Akita, best known is a hodgepodge with hatahata and this sauce, shotsuru nabe しょっつるなべ【塩汁鍋】 (kigo for winter).

This is a kind of fish sauce, gyoshoo 魚醤(ぎょしょう).
shottsuru was also used to make a special sushi of cooked rice and pieces of hatahata.
This kind of sushi is very ancient, called "cooked rice sushi" (izushi, iizushi いずし)。

Ishiyaki – Kochen mit heißen Steinen
Es zischt und brodelt – plötzlich steigt Dampf auf. Geschickt lässt der Koch einen heißen Stein in den kleinen hölzernen Bottich gleiten. Im Nu wird alles gegart!
Beim nur in dieser Gegend typischen Ishiyaki werden Steine im Feuer erhitzt und dann in die Suppe gelegt, um sie zu erwärmen. Diese Zubereitungsart entdeckten die Fischer entlang der Halbinsel Oga, die oft den ganzen Tag auf dem Meer unterwegs waren. Mittags kam ein hölzerner Bottich mit frischen Fischen und Meeresfrüchten auf die Planken, die Würze brachte das salzige Meerwasser.
Auch am Strand wurde oft auf diese Art gekocht. Wenn sich dort kein Holzbottich fand, wurden die Fische einfach mit Wasser in eine Felsvertiefung gelegt und die Vulkansteine dazugegeben, die auf einem Feuer erhitzt worden waren. Das lokale Vulkangestein Ignimbrit oder Schmelztuff erwies sich in Japan als besonders geeignet, da dieses Gestein enorm temperaturfest ist.
Heute ist die Brühe meistens eine gesalzene Suppe, es wird aber auch Miso-Paste verwendet. Die Würze der Brühe basiert in jedem Restaurant traditionell auf einem Familiengeheimnis. Im großen Bottich aus Zedernholz werden die tagesfrischen Fische und das Gemüse der Saison in mundgerechten Bissen in der Brühe angerichtet. Anschließend wird der Bottich auf den Tisch gestellt und die Zutaten werden mit heißen Steinen gekocht. Jeder kann sich nach Belieben aus dem Bottich bedienen. Dazu werden Reis und kleine Teller mit eingelegtem Gemüse und Häppchen gereicht.

Shottsuru (しょっつる) is a type of fish sauce from Akita Prefecture, which is one of the 3 major fish sauces of Japan along with Ishiru from Ishikawa Prefecture and Ikanago-shoyu from Kagawa Prefecture.
Akita’s fish sauce is distinctive in its ingredients. It is made from Hatahata (sandfish) caught off the coast of Oga Peninsula.
Shottsuru (塩汁、塩魚汁) (lit. salt fish broth)
can be dated back to the early Edo period, and was traditionally made solely with the fish and salt. Now it has been produced in modern technique with additional ingredients, but there is a brewery who still produces it in the traditional method
Hatahata is a sandfish. Akita Prefecture has the largest catch of Sandfish in Japan. The fish has been an important protein sauce for Akita people in the old days, which was even sung in a famous folksong (“Akita-Ondo”). Today even designated as the prefectural fish!
How does Shottsuru taste like?

Despite how fishy it may sound, it is surprisingly mild and rich in flavor. Shottsuru is the main ingredient in Akita’s signature winter dish, Shottsuru-nabe, a hot pot with Hatahata and tofu and other ingredients. Also, in recent years, contemporary chefs are adopting some innovative ideas and recipes: the most popular style is the Italian style as in the picture !

Yokote yakisoba 横手やきそば fried noodles from Yokote
Thick wheat noodles with a fried egg on top, and fukujinzuke pickles.
It was served to children after WWII as a snack in the afternoon.
In 2009 the fourth B-1 Grand Prix was held in Yokote City in Akita Prefecture
A total of 26 dishes competed in the 2009 contest. The winner was a dish called Yokote yakisoba (fried noodles) from the host city itself. Yakisoba is eaten throughout Japan, but the Yokote variety is different in that it features noodles that are straight, thick, and boiled (rather than steamed), has cabbage and ground pork as its main other ingredients, is topped with a fried egg, and comes with sweet, crunchy pickles called fukujin-zuke on the side. The sauce used to flavor the noodles is a combination of Worcestershire sauce with a fish or other broth. Many established restaurants in Yokote have their own secret sauce recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation.
Yokote yakisoba was first produced in 1953, the creation of a local restaurant that specialized in okonomiyaki (thick, savory cabbage pancakes). Though originally designed to be a children's snack, the noodles caught on and soon came to be served as a regular main dish. Four restaurants were chosen as the Yokote yakisoba champions for 2009 in a competition in which the judges considered such criteria as how the noodles were fried and the balance between the noodles and sauce. Two of the four, Kuidoraku Yokote Ekimae Shiten and Idehaya, are conveniently located near Yokote Station.

Dämonen von der Halbinsel Oga
»Whoooooohoho! War einer nicht brav? Weint etwa jemand? Hat die Schwiegertochter auch alle ihre Aufgaben im Haushalt ordentlich erledigt? Whoooooohoho!«
Mit großen hölzernen Messern und Wassereimern erscheinen gespenstisch aussehende Dämonenpaare am Neujahrstag, brüllend und wild umherspringend toben sie von Haus zu Haus. Manchmal dringen sie bis in die Wohnküche vor und erschrecken die Kinder.
Die Namahage-Dämonen sind mit riesigen Holzmasken und langen Strohmänteln kostümiert und kommen jedes Jahr zu Neujahr in die Häuser. Der Mann trägt eine rote, die Frau eine blaue Maske. Der Ursprung des Wortes Namahage erklärt auch gleich den Grund für das Erscheinen der Dämonen. Namahage stammt von namomi o hagu und bedeutet »kleine Brandwunden abkratzen«. Dabei handelt es sich um kleine Brandverletzungen an Händen und Beinen, die man sich schnell an der offenen Feuerstelle in der Küche zuziehen kann. Wer viele Brandstellen hat, zeigt damit, dass er im Winter faul am Herd gelegen hat. Die Namahage-Dämonen kommen mit ihren riesigen Messern ins Haus, um die faulen Kinder und Schwiegertöchter zu strafen, indem sie ihnen »die Brandstellen abkratzen«. Zur Besänftigung erhalten die Dämonen vom Hausherrn Reiswein und Mochi-Reiskuchen. Als Boten der Götter segnen die Namahage sowohl den Haushalt als auch alle Bewohner und versprechen Gesundheit, eine gute Ernte sowie gute Fischfangerträge im neuen Jahr.
Die Halbinsel Oga reicht wie eine spitze Zunge ins wilde Japanische Meer. Bezeichnenderweise heißt der höchste Berg in dieser Region »Berg des kalten Windes« (Kanpūsan). Neben dem Leuchtturm, der hoch oben auf diesem Berg in die Luft ragt, kann man mit Maiskorn-Softeis die Aussicht auf die Vulkanseen und das Gebiet Hachirōgata genießen. Hachirōgata war ursprünglich einer der größten Seen Japans, bevor er 1964 trockengelegt und in Ackerflächen umgewandelt wurde. Das Gelände liegt vier Meter unter dem Meeresspiegel und ist damit der tiefste Punkt Japans.
Am Ende der Halbinsel, dem Kap Nyūdō, befinden sich neben einem großen Parkplatz einige Souvenirläden. In den Hinterzimmern hocken die Namahage und trinken Tee. Sie warten nur darauf, dass der nächste Touristenbus eintrudelt. Dann laufen sie brüllend los und erfüllen vor den Läden ihre Pflicht als groteske, monströse Fotomodelle.
