What are the must-try summer festival food/snacks?
This is the summer festival season, and they have lots of food stalls at summer festivals.
What do you recommend as the best festival food to try?
You can find a detailed introduction here.
My favourite for the summer is Kakigohri (crushed ice).

My favorite is poppoyaki. Niigata is noted for poppoyaki. This is the poppoyaki.
Poppoyaki is what we baked with a special machine. Flour, brown sugar, water,carbonated water and Myouban are the ingredients of the poppoyaki.
I have never heard the name and from just looking at it I cannot tell what it is and what it is made of :) Could you tell us a little bit more about it?
It is strange, but I don't remember the name of my favorite dessert name (I will have to ask my wife and complete this answer. It is a brochette of transparent jelly served with green powder (is it green tea?). It is not very sweet and feels quite fresh.
Thanks for helping me! It is indeed warabi mochi!!
kakikori: simple, sweet, with fun color options, and refreshing
warbi-mochi ?
Never heard of it before, thanks a lot! Will be on the look for it when traveling.
My guess was the same :). The powder could be green coloured at times. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warabimochi#/media/File:Kurumi_mochi.jpg
