Want some insight into the regional food? We recommend you get a taste for beef and noodles, two common ingredients which make up many of the dishes here.
Ask a local what dish best sums up the region and tempura (deep fried seafood or vegetables) will probably be among the first things they advise. Jappa-jiru (fish gut and vegetable soup) is another of the area's signature dishes you ought to try.
Anpan (sweet roll) is a dessert that summarises this place in just one mouthful. Order up a serving and then come back for seconds!
For fans of a good pint, get cosy at a nearby bar and ask for Asahi Premium Beer Jukusen. Enjoy a glass with a side of joke-cracking and mingling with the regulars.
Junmaishu is definitely worth sampling. Neat or on the rocks? The bar person should have a couple of taste bud-tingling recommendations.
Don't let any cultural barriers put you off! Make your journey to Akita a more engaging one by learning a few phrases in the local tongue. 'Gokoūn o inorimasu' translates as 'good luck'. 'Dōmo arigatō' ('thank you') is another one you might need.
