America, this Japanese imoni festival is crazy‼️😂
Every year in Yamagata, two brand new backhoes are prepared to make a massive batch of imoni.
① Start with brand new, never used backhoes
↓
② Take apart the moving parts and wash them with household detergent
↓
③ Pressure wash away the machine oil and grease
↓
④ Use cooking oil and rub edible butter onto the parts by hand 🧈
Even the buckets are specially made from stainless steel for cooking.
After the festival, the backhoes are sold at a premium as good luck machines. 😂
Japan takes imoni VERY seriously.
