Donburi is probably the most internationally known Japanese comfort food!
It consists of a big bowl/donburi/丼 topped with all kinds of food from vegetables, to meat and fish!

On Saturday October 20th (10:00~20:00) and Sunday 21st (10:00~17:00) the Shizuoka Gourmet Ookoku Fest Waru Don Kappu/静岡グルメ王国フェストワール丼カップ/Shizuoka Gourmet Donburi Festival will take place in Aoba Doori/青葉道理 Event Square.

Many restaurants, Japanese and foreign alike, izakayas and various shops take part!
It is worth a good visit as it will give you a good idea of what to expect in Shizuoka at the reasonable price level!

I paid them a visit while things were still quiet.
At lunch and dinner time it is a real tussle!
