Akimatsuri

The first time I went to this event was in 2022.  I stumbled upon it online by chance when I was looking for events.  Ever since the first time I attended the event, I always make sure to find the event because it's so great.  My mother missed both years by just a week or two, but this year she was lucky.  She already made plans to visit Prague and it happened to be on the exact day of the event.  Even though I had arrived back from Japan less than a month prior, I was ready to eat some Japanese food again.  This year the location changed, but was at a baseball field again.  The event was planned from just 12pm-3pm.  My mom and I arrived 30 minutes before the event started.  There were so many people already there and waiting in lines.  The line for the tako yaki was already quite long.  Nobody had started the line for ramen, so my mom and I started it.  Within a few minutes there were at least 20 people behind us.  Once it was 12pm, all the stands opened up.  We ordered food from several different places.  My mom and I got to take part in the mochi making process.  It was my mom's FIRST time ever doing it.  I couldn't believe it because for me it was my 5th time doing it (3 times in CZ, 1 time in Japan and 1 time in Chile).  My mom was so happy with all the food.  The prices for the food were very reasonable. My friends arrived and they were shocked at how cheap everything was.  They bought a lot of food and took some to go as well.  Since Leos couldn't make it to the event this year, I made sure to also buy him some food to go.  After the event, my mom and I went back to the center of Prague and my mom wanted to get her favorite Georgian bread.  Then we met with Leos for dinner and more Asian food.  It was such a food packed day.
