The winter solstice in 2018 is December 22nd.
During the winter solstice, I entered Yuzuyu and eat pumpkins. When I was young, my mother said, "I eat soba because the sun is short," and let me eat Kenchin soba.
By the way, did you know that the winter solstice is the day of "Hampon"? There was a guide on the poster of the Tokyo Kamaboko Fisheries Processing Cooperative.
Hampin is famous for its hamppen made from Yoshikiri shark of Shigeru Kami, but in Tsukiji and Tsukishima, the products of Ajino Hamato are also popular. It is said that it is good to eat seven foods called "ononon", but my favorite foods are bean paste, agar, kankankan, kinton, lotus root (Renkon) , The outlook is good.) There is something like this. If you give another one, it's a perfect score. "Ninben" is famous in the food shop. 
Let's go to the delicious "danken"!
Warm pots and oden are best for the cold body. (The name of another food is shown in the photo.)
