Abstract
We collected the samples of local food and ceremony or festival by interviews and questionnaires. Food culture in Suzuka city (relation between local food and ceremonies such as “Tennou-sai”, “Houonkou”, “Yama-no-kami matsuri” and “Kayu-uranai”) was analyzed by use of Hayashis Quantification Method III. 1) As the result of ceremony or festival and local food scores, the interval between “Yama-nokami matsuri” and “Houonkou” is longest.2) In the sample scores, area IV (“Yama-no-kami matsuri”) and area V (“Houonkou”) show the longest interval and they are independent of other samples. On the other hand, there is relation between ceremony and local food in I (“Kayu-uranai” II (“Houonkou”) and III (“Tennousai”)area.3) As the result of sample scores, area I (“Tennou-sai” area-near mountain and “Inou” area-flat land) and area V (plain-almost flat land) are characteristic, respectively. We would like to continue the research expanding the area to whole Mie prefecture.
