みそ五郎まつり Misogoro Festival
Nishi-Arie-Chosukawa, Minamishimabara-shi, Nagasaki mall

- quote -
In each region of the Shimabara Peninsula many legends about giants have been told. The story about the kind and friendly giant Misogoro is one of them.
The statue of Misogoro was built based on this old story passed down in this area.
The statue is carried on a truck and is displayed in a parade that goes down the old shopping street of Nishi Arie.
At the festival, many events related to Somen noodles are held such as a fancy-dress parade, somen tasting, and a fast-eating of somen contest. Moreover, the event offers an exhibition and sale having not only Tenobe Somen boodle, but also locally harvested crops and fishery products.
