A special research project on"Regionality of Culinary Culture and Cookery Science" conducted in 2009-2011 by the Japan Society of Coookery Science focused on regional foods for special events.The authors conducted a questionnaire survey of 40 respondents residing for 10 years or more in 4 communities in Fukuoka Prefecture: the cities of Kurume,Chikugo, and Yanagawa,and the village of Tohomura. All were female,and most were aged 50's to 70's.We report on foods for special events and rites in the 4 communities,including degree of awareness of events,experience eating the foods,dietary conditions,and cooking conditions. Respondents were very aware of the events,and many had eaten the special foods associated with them. Propensity to eat foods for special events declined when the family was composedsolely of elderly members,or those living alone. Amount of home-cooked food similarly declined under these conditions,as the place to dine shifted from home or community center to an external eating establishment.Special foods charactcristic of this region includcd gameni for New Year's Day and theBon Feast of Lanterns and Bon dara no nishime for the latter. Sekihan is commonly eaten for rites of passage.
