回転焼き vs 大判焼き vs 今川焼き (Kaiten-yaki vs. Oban-yaki vs. Imagawa-yaki) was a Splatfest event exclusive to the Japan region in Splatoon 3. It was the third Splatfest to take place during Drizzle Season 2023 and was announced on social networks on November 8 2023.[1]
The Americas/Oceania and Europe regions' Handshake vs. Fist Bump vs. Hug Splatfest took place concurrently with this Splatfest.
Details
This was the first Splatfest in Splatoon 3 to differ by region: players who have selected the Japan region will be able to participate in this Splatfest, whereas players who have selected the Americas/Oceania, Europe, or Hong Kong/South Korea regions were able to participate in the Handshake vs. Fist Bump vs. Hug Splatfest as a combined group, which was held at the same time.
The Splatfest question is about the name of a dish most commonly known as imagawayaki, which is a dessert made from dough filled with sweet red bean paste cooked in a special enclosed pan. The dish is known for being referred to with a large number of different names; imagawayaki's Japanese Wikipedia article lists more than 50 different regional or brand-related names for the dish.
The teams represent the three most common names for the dish in Japanese:
- 回転焼き Kaiten-yaki (lit. "spun fried (dish)"), which is common in the Kyūshū region.
- 大判焼き Ōban-yaki (lit. "large size fried (dish)"), which is common in the Kansai and Touhoku regions. "Ōban" is also the name of an Edo-period Japanese coin, which this dish resembles in shape.
- 今川焼き Imagawa-yaki (lit. "Imagawa-style fried (dish)"), which is common in most regions of Japan; this name for the dish is derived from the historical Imagawa Bridge in Kanda where the dish was first sold in the 18th century.
The Tricolor Turf War stage for this Splatfest was Manta Maria.
