UGOPOLY PARTY

UGOPOLY is MONOPOLY’s Akita edition. I know it sounds ridiculous…but this game is very serious!!

We some Akita people got together for this game, but no one had played even Monopoly…so, we needed to learn how to play this first with a description. It took a while…little hard to get it, but we started to play anyway!

I guess the rule is almost same with Monopoly. We buy the lands, expand them, and protect them, but sometimes Ms. to Tamagawa hot spring?”(Tamagawa hot spring is one of very famous hot spring in Akita) then we need to pay extra for her… but Akita ken(Akita dog) sometimes tells us good things like “I found some money when I dug here!” So funny and cute. We played over 5hours for only one game!! Who was winner?? Yes, I AM!! Yeah!! I became super rich Akita woman!!(I wish it was real….orz)

We had great Akita sake Kariho “Rokushu” Junmai Ginjo Nama (not available US market) with our local specialty Iburi gakko which is smoked daikon radish pickles from my mother in Akita.

The countryside Japan, Akita prefecture meets New York. Akita people meet UGOPOLY in New York!

I cannot wait next UGOPOLY party!! You want to join?
