Abstract
We carried out survey as to what people in Tokushima prefecture eat at various annual events except on New Year's Day from 2009 to 2010.
The subjects of this survey were residents of Tokushima prefecture who have lived there for more than 10 years. The subjects were divided into three age groups; 1) those younger than 30 years old; 2) those between 30 and 50; and 3) those over 50.
Our findings showed that eating cakes on Christmas Day and buckwheat noodles at night of the New Year's Eve is fairly common. This tendency is rampant among the people over 30 and fewer among younger generations, though the contrast is not very sharp.
People over 50 who used to have a habit of cooking by themselves the above food for special events, tend to buy the ready cooked ones instead of preparing them in their houses.
