This season has again come. This is my 3rd visit Christmas markets!
The first one in 2011, I had no idea what's going on in the festival thing (I didn't know they're markets and thought festival like ones in Summer). I simply followed Jan to walk around, to eat something new, and to drink a warm red wine (I found out later that's Glühwein). It ended like "the festival was nice".
You can read my first Christmas market visit in Rüsselsheim which is the next city to ours and in Frankfurt (article 1 and 2) in 2011.
The 2nd one in 2012, I welcomed the christmas season with an expectations "I hope they have the markets again this year".
As Germany and some of other European countries never fail to have christmas markets every year, they had one and I enjoyed it even more than the first year :)
Here's the 2nd one in Rüsselsheim in 2012.

As you can see in the past blog posts of christmas markets, there's a big difference of it between, for example, in Frankfurt and a city like Rüsselsheim.
But I like small markets a lot as well because I get the impression that people are more friendly and easy to speak to each other even though they're not friends.
So if you first come to a christmas market, visiting smalls ones may be easy to hit and know what it's like :D

今年もこの時季が来ました。私にとって3回目のクリスマスマーケット!
2011年最初のマーケットは何が何だかわからず、とりあえずじょんについて見て回ってそこで初めての食べ物を食べ、あったかい赤ワイン(後にグリューワインとわかる)を飲み、「なんだか楽しかったね」的なお祭りで終わりました。
2012年、二年目は、「今年も去年のお祭りあるのかな」という期待で迎えたクリスマス。
ドイツやフランスをはじめとするヨーロッパでは昔から必ずある催しものなので、もちろんありました。こちらが去年のルセルスハイムの記事☆
過去の記事を見ていただくとわかると思いますが、フランクフルトのような大きな街になると規模の大きさが全然違いますね。
でも地元の小さい街のものはもっとみんなフレンドリーな印象を受けるので、ドイツでのクリスマスマーケットが全く初めての人は小さい街のものから行くと馴染みやすいと思います。
More photos!

On 1st, we came to Flörsheim which is on the opposite side of the river.
As we already finished dinner at the evening, we only had a Glüwein and enjoyed walking through it.
Big christmas markets like in Frankfurt or famous tourism spots take place from the beginning of December until 23rd, but small markets are opened only once in weekend.
It's because this day was Sunday, after we made a round there about at 8pm, they started to clean up to close the market.
Although it was just like to enjoy the atmosphere for a short time, it was a nice start of a market tour. :)
I always like a light up in the church.
12月1日に来たのはマイン川を挟んで向い側のフルアスハイム(Flörsheim)という街のクリスマスマーケット。今年最初のマーケットです。

この夜は夕飯を食べた後に来たのでグリューワインで体を温めるだけにしました。
教会のライトアップがキレイでしたー!
大きい街でのマーケットは12月初日から23日まで休むこと無く開催されていますが、地元の小さい街のものは金曜か週末の3日間のみ。
この日は日曜日だったので、着いて一回りした午後8時頃に皆さん片付けを始めました。
雰囲気を楽しむだけになりましたが、それでもいいですね。:)
Just in a week, on 8th Sunday, we came to the next city Rüsselheim.
We were ready to EAT!
We first decided to make a round to see what they have. Soo excited.
In this christmas season, everyone (let's say everyone) gets excited for food, music, beautiful light up decorations on houses, the atmosphere at all cities. So are you? :)
Even knowing that they have the same food and drink as last years at the market, it never gets boring to have them as they're mostly limited for this moment.
I simply love this season here.
さて一週間後の12月8日(日曜日)、今度は隣町のルセルスハイムに来ました。
「さぁー食うぞー!」っと意気込んでお腹ぺこぺこにしてきました。笑
一先ず一回りして何があるか見ようということで食べたいものを探します。
ふふー♪♫
クリスマスマーケットの時季はいつだってワクワクでテンション高め。
毎年そこにある食べ物や見るものは同じでも、その雰囲気、そのときしか食べられないものだからワクワクするんですよね。
そこにいるみんなが笑顔で楽しんでいて、ステキな音楽も流れていて、本当にキラキラした時間で大好きです。
Appetizer (?!) is of course this one.
You can't skip this DERRRRRLICIOUS sausage sandwich if you're sausage-loving German, right?
前菜(?!)はやっぱりこれ笑 もちろんじょんチョイスです。
こよなくソーセージを愛するドイツ人は、これは欠かせないみたいです。
Pure German, here he is.
So juicy hot sausages and you bite it……. Steamy, flavorful, chunky meat and herbs and the juice and …..
See, I'm addicted now too.
んーーー!!!!
でも焼きたて、肉汁があふれるソーセージは誰もがうなります。うますぎる!
私もドイツソーセージの虜です♡うふ
直前までジュージュー音を立ててたソーセージにかぶりつくじょん。
Going try something new is always fun. So we got a hot cherry liquor with whipped cream on.
The glass was tiny. It was about 10cm and spread such a comfy Winter smell :)
I tried it, coughed, left it to Jan. End. Lol
新しいものを頼んでみようってことになり、ホットのさくらんぼのリキュール・ホイップクリーム乗せ(高さ10cmほどの小さいグラス)を試してみました。
結果、私には強過ぎて「おへっ!!」となりほぼじょんに飲ませることに。
Ok, next!
We got Langos which is from Hungary.
Potatoes in the dough make it nicely chewy and so addictive ;)
Our favorite flavor is garlic.
They give it a garlic layer of paste and sprinkle shredded cheese over it.
So Gooooood.
Don't be afraid of being garlic stinky. Involve your company.
次に食べたのがハンガリーの揚げパン、ランゴシュです。
生地にはじゃがいもが少し入ってるようでかじるとモッチモチ!でヤミツキになります。
私たちが好きなのはガーリック風味。
ガーリックソースを揚げたての生地に塗り、チーズをまぶしていただきます。
あ〜うまい〜〜。
みんなで食べればニンニクのにおいなんて問題無し!笑
Alright, next!
I followed Jan that wanted to have a toast.
On a half-cut baguette, there were Jalapeños, bacons, and melted cheese.
We had single portion of sausage sandwich, langos, and this toast to share, not 2 of each. ;)
I brought the butter crumble cake you can see above that I buy every year back home after trying a few bites.
はい、次次ーー♪
じょんに言われるまま着いて行き、出てきたのが色んな具が乗っているトーストでした。
半分に切ったバゲットにハラペーニョ、ベーコン、チーズが乗って焼かれたものです。
ソーセージサンド、ランゴシュ、このトーストとも1個をシェアして食べました。
毎年買っている上のケーキは数口だけ食べてお持ち帰りしました。
From the bottom, Jalapeño, bacon, and cheese. Hot and yummy!
中身(下からハラペーニョ、ベーコン、チーズ)
熱くて美味しい!
Ich liebe dich = I love you
The last stop by was at this candy shop.
Jan might've needed a dessert.
He asked me a couple of times if I'd like to have a waffle and I said yes, keeping it secret that I made waffles at home while he was away for flight and I ate them all.. lol
They had dark & milk chocolate coated fruits and cute candies that color up the shop and you don't get bored even while waiting for a waffle to bake.
最後に来たのはお菓子屋さん。じょんがここのワッフルを食べたいというので(自分も食べるが)早速注文。
ダーク・ミルクチョコレートがコーティングされたフルーツやお菓子の詰め合わせなどなどたくさんあって見るだけで楽しいので待っている間も退屈しません。
Just a simple waffle with some powder sugar on and this simplicity is the perfection.
Crispy baked surface and chewy consistence inside, and the powder sugar tones it up.
This is the end of Rüsselsheim christmas market. It seems fun, doesn't it? :D
粉砂糖を振りかけただけのシンプルなワッフルですが外はサクッカリッ、中はモチモチで美味しかった!!
この食べ歩きが楽しいんですね〜〜( ´艸｀)
On 13th Friday (!) was a night of fun market in Raunheim.
In the beginning of warm September, there was an International culture festival (my blog post) in this place.
When Winter comes, it wears total christmas costume like this. :)
We arrived and we were hungry.
Reading this post might make you think we keep on eating (too much?) but there is each week between the markets and we keep light, clean meal planning (of course Japanese food included ;)) until we head out again.
13日の金曜日(!)はラウンハイムの楽しい夜でした!
まだ暑さも残る9月にこの同じ広場で色んな国の料理が並んだ国際文化祭りが催されました。
冬になるとこんな風にクリスマス一色になります。
小さい子どもから年配の方までたくさん集まり活気に包まれています。
この日ももちろんお腹空かせて来ました笑
この記事読んでるとよっぽど食べているように見えますが、それぞれ間に一週間空いていますので、その間の食事は軽め、クリーンな(もちろん和食系)メニューで統一してます。笑
The first one Jan had was a potato soup with deer sausage.
As it was comfy cold in Rüsselsheim christmas market last time, it felt so freezing this night and the soup was a great warm keeper.
最初にじょんが頼んで食べたのは鹿肉ソーセージ乗せ(入り?)ポテトスープ。
前回のルセルスハイムのクリスマスマーケットがそれほど寒くなったせいか、この日は特別冷えていて温かいものが染みます。
We could've ordered traditional Glühweins but this time we went for "kids" juice.
It tasted grape and apple juice mixed which was pretty good and we ended up 2nd one. :D
Why not alcohol free? :)
お馴染みのグリューワインを注文してもよかったのですが、今回は"子ども用"なんて書いてあるものを見つけて頼んでみました。
ぶどうとリンゴジュースが混ざったような風味ですごく美味しく、二杯頂きました :D
アルコールフリーもいいね! :)
This isn't christmas food but I was looking forward to it <3
Pan-fried noodles with fried duck!
You can have it only at this Raunheim market and I went straight to it and bought it without any hesitation. I was going to buy nothing but this. hehe
She always puts so much amount of noodles in a box and it's so satisfying!
Jan had rice one with duck. :D
クリスマスのごはんじゃないけど私はこれが楽しみでした♡
フライドチキンならぬダック(鴨)がのせてある焼きそば!
これはラウンハイムのマーケットにしかないので迷わず買いました。
一人分に二人分くらいの量が入っていて満足感大。
じょんはごはんのものを食べました。
This is pretty much it. We didn't eat much but enjoyed it a lot :D
Next week we'll go to Frankfurt and Rüdesheim christmas markets. :)
Stay tuned!!
これでこの夜は以上です。そんなに食べなかったけど楽しかったー!
さぁ来週はフランクフルトとルーデスハイムのクリスマスマーケットに行きます :)
お楽しみに♡
Thanks so much for reading!
