They drew lots at the end of this event.
For example ...


Ticket for the Tendo spa "Matsu no Yu" and "Tsuruya" Return ticket from Yamagata to Nagoya Ticket for the Kaminoyama spa "Tsukioka Hotel". And many many goods !

A cup was changed to a ticket at the special counter.
More cups, more lucky ! So they could serve a larger cup of pot food and gather garbage.
It is excellent idea !!

There has been the prize "Nabe Syougun" (the king of the pot food). They give it to the pot food which was sold out 100 cups at first. And this year, we have another prize "Nabe no Tsubone" (the queen of the pot food). You decided this new prize. You put your chopsticks into the special box which was in front of the pot you like. They chose the prize "Nabe no Tsubone" by weight. The "Chige nabe" got it this year.

That day, many TV programs and newspapers came this event not only in Yamagata Prefecture but also in Tokyo.
TBS (Tokyo Broadcast Station) in Tokyo, they broadcasted the event at the program "Akko ni Omakase" on January 18. That program shows every Sunday noon.
