Akita - Hinai Chicken & Akita Dog

We went to Tazawa Lake before Akita's festival.

When we arrived, first thing we saw was...

Hinai Chicken!

I actually didn't know Hinai Chicken was from Akita.
Hinai Chicken is famous Jidori Chicken in Japan and it's delicious.
This website has a detailed explanation about Hinai Chicken.

This is Hinai Chicken I saw.

Next to Hinai Chicken, there was Akita Dog!

From Wiki:

The Akita is a large spitz breed of dog originating from the mountainous northern regions of Japan. There are two separate varieties of Akita: a Japanese strain, known as the "Akita Inu" or "Japanese Akita"; and an American strain, known as the "Akita" or "American Akita". The Japanese strain comes in a small choice of colors, with all other colors considered atypical of the breed, while the American strain comes in all dog colors. The Akita has a short double coat, similar to that of many other northern spitz breeds such as the Siberian Husky, but long coated dogs can be found in many litters due to a recessive gene.

Yeah, indeed they were big dogs!
But they kept sleeping...
