Tohoku Chopper Keychains! ♥ ご当地チョッパーマン: 東北

Part III of my gotouchi (ご当地, location limited) Chopper Keychains! ♥ Part I was Chubu, part II was Kantou (: Yes it's a collection, I do not think I can actually use up all of these keychains ^^

Akita limited, Namahage version

Fukushima limited, Byakkotai version

福島限定:　白虎隊

The Byakkotai was part of the Aizu forces, located in Fukushima.

I know that the Tochigi prefecture is part of the Kantou region and not Tohoku, but it borders Fukushima, which is part of Tohoku, and I went there while on the Tohoku trip, so I'm gonna lump the Tochigi Chopper keychains together with the Tohoku ones, since I got them together ~ (:

Tochigi limited, Sano Ramen version.

栃木限定:　佐野ラーマン

Tochigi is famous for Sano ramen.

It's famous for strawberries as well, but I couldn't find the strawberry version :(

Utsunomiya limited, Gyoza version 2

宇都宮限定:　餃子2

Utsunomiya is famous for its gyoza.

Utsunomiya is the capital of the Tochigi prefecture.

Nasu limited, eggplant version

那須限定:　茄子

A word-play on the name.

The word for eggplant in Japanese is "nasu" (茄子),

though a different kanji from the place "Nasu" (那須).

Nasu is a highland region located in the Tochigi prefecture.

The other Chopper Keychains I've collected are from the Chubu and Kantou regions~ ♥
