Eating contests involve downing the little servings of soba, keeping count with a box of matches. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54fe4f3de4b0471d2f752354/1497807570365-VN0YXJGBJPYO2JJYTSRJ/1600px-Nanbutekki.tetubin.JPG Blog - Morioka's northern charm - Nambu Tetsubin Tetsubin molds consist of two outer pieces that fit together around a single inner mold. An even space is left between the inner and outer molds. Designs—raised knobs, a spray of pine branches—are carved by hand in the walls of the outer molds, which can be reused. The inner mold, broken after one casting, is of soft, porous clay, which absorbs and vents the hot gases escaping the molten iron. Iron is melted at 1400°C and poured from long-handled ladles into the molds. The sheer physical violence of the encounter between molten iron, air, and the surface of the mold can in a few seconds shatter work that took weeks to create. The successfully cast tetsubin is filed, tempered, and burnished with lacquer and tooth-black, a mixture of brown-rust, vinegar, and green tea, which in pre-modern times married women used to blacken their teeth. When water is boiled in a tetsubin, a white mineral fuzz builds up on the inner walls, which further protects the iron and, it is said, purifies and sweetens even the worst city tap water. The most prized tetsubin, such as the stunning, silvery kettles at the Hashimoto Museum, were made of sand-iron panned from river beds. Also the raw material of the finest swords, sand-iron is a kind of "phantom metal" that is said to have extraordinary qualities. No one mines iron this way anymore, so sand-iron kettles, made from hoarded material, are extremely expensive. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54fe4f3de4b0471d2f752354/1497745260409-YG62KZ6A2ORD8A4RW0A2/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Morioka's northern charm - Buddhist celebs ** Hō'on-ji 報恩寺 (Tel: 0196-51-4415.
