I'm worried about the first day

[Koedo Itabashi] February 23, 2013 14:00

Even after the spring, "the coldest winter this winter" comes down one after another.

In February, when I tend to shrink, I feel that food-related events continue.

 

Eat the beans sowed in Setsubun, plus 1 of the year.

I put on "Ehomaki" toward this year's direction.

I was dazzled by the decoration of "Valentine Day" under Depa.

Nowadays, Valentine's Day is not particular about "female to man", but gifts from "men to women" are usually given.

In that case, how is "White Day" positioned in March?

Is the industry's gimmick moving secretly these days when "giri chocolate" is no longer available?

 

And do you know that "Hatsuno Inari" is interrupting the eating habits of February?

On the first day (Hatsuuma), I try to eat "Inarizushi".

Yeah. In the first place, the level of "What is the first day?"

 

A, first noon is the first day of February.

It's the noon of the zodiac sign of the child, the Ox, and the Tiger.

It is also said to be the day of the afternoon after the spring.

So, how grateful that "Hatsuno" is, it is the day when Inari descended into this world.

The place is Mt. Inari in Fushimi, Kyoto.

The place where Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine is famous for its Senbon Torii, which is lined with vermilion torii gates.

This Inari-sama is amazing!

You have various things such as rich harvest, thriving business, traffic safety, etc., and a vast virtue.

I appreciate the naming itself of rice, the staple food of Japanese people, "packing rice".

On the first day of the first day, we pray for fried oil at Inari Shrines in various places.

Of course, fried oil is a favorite of white foxes used by God.

(I've only seen the fox actually eating fried oil in picture books.)

 

In the Edo period, the first noon was the reference date for admission to Terakoya.

It's a day when you have a Tenjin desk and enter the training teacher.

In some regions, various events were held in which children played a leading role.

It was so close to you.

It is often found in the city of Edo. It says "Iseya, the dog's lie in Inari."

I'm sorry if you were lined up with a dog's poop.

 

In Chuo-ku, there are many Inari Shrines.

Festival days are filled with human waves, such as Tepposu Inari Shrine in Minato and Namishi Inari Shrine in Tsukiji.

Kasama Inari Shrine is also located in the Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods Tour, and Koami Shrine and Suehiro Shrine are said to have originated in Inari Shrine.

"Ginza Hatcho Shrine Tour" is Sachi Inari, Ginza Inari, Asahi Inari, Hodo Inari, Azuma Inari, Kakugo Inari, Toyo Iwaine, Success Inari Shrine.

Surprisingly many Inari-sama protected the city.

 

Inarizushi is a food that can be eaten throughout the year and can change the ingredients wrapped in fried oil according to the season.

Since the Edo period, it has been popular as a fast food that can be packed with coins.

Will the "Hatsuno Inari" be established nationwide as an event in February?

 

Actually, I like fried oil.

There was a time when I spent lunch at the employee cafeteria, with three dishes, "fox soba, Inarizushi, cold yakko".

Let's eat it even if it's not the first noon. Hey, Mr.

Obviously, my tail is ...   Corn.
