On December 4 (Sun), the 11th Mochitsuki Tournament was held with the participation of neighborhood associations such as Ningyocho Kakigara-cho and Hakozaki-cho.
In the past, it was an event that a smaller neighborhood association went to each after the 20th, when the New Year approaches.
Why were you doing something like this? ？ ？ ？ ・・・・・・・
In the past, there were many people who could not eat rice cakes during the New Year because the difference between rich and poor was much greater than now.
Under such circumstances, rich people paid out money and made rice cakes in each town and celebrated New Year's Day.
At present, we have inherited old traditions supported by volunteers.
The equipment used in rice cake making is stored in the basement of Nihonbashi Elementary School.
New rice is delicious, but old rice is better for rice cakes and sushi.
The mochi made by a large number of volunteers was put in a pack with yellow powder and red bean paste and distributed.
I bought a 200 yen ticket first and went with you.
There is also "Udon", and eating freshly made rice cakes and udon on the street is a sense of unity and fun.
Each neighborhood association set up a tent, gathered it in one place, and the mochigome was steamed and distributed to each tent in the order that it was completed, and delicious mochi was completed at each place.
I found a little gap among a large crowd and the girls are jumping rope lively.
I felt like a festival because of the matching Happi appearance.
I was very happy to hear that the participation of young people living in apartments in such gatherings is increasing.
