Today, September 21st is the fifteenth night of Nakaaki, and the full moon. According to the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, it is the first time in eight years that "Mikashu no Meigetsu" and "Full Moon" overlap.

Today is a little ukiukiuki from the morning, because I have made a reservation for "Otsukimi Dango" with Ginza Akebono, and today is the pick-up day. It's only one day today.

It costs 864 yen (including) with dumplings and special bean paste. The golden rice cake rice cake rice cake (248 yen per 4 types) sold exclusively on the equinoctial week is also sold, and you will have it too. Let's offer it together. I'm worried that the clouds came a little, but "15 nights moon" is beautiful.

In the late Edo period magazine, "Mori Sada no Fuze", "Edo Japanese pampas grass is always offered, while Japanese pampas grass can't offer other flowers. The dumplings of Edo are round, the upper part is a small potato shape with a tip. " It is also called "Imo Meigetsu" because it offers taro.

And the night of September 13, old calendar, one month after the 15th night, is called the 13th night, but in the past, when you saw the 15th night, you must always see the moon on the 13th night, and it is also called the "later moon" for the 15th night. The moon viewing only for fifteen nights was said to have a good luck called "Katatsukimi". ("Japanese calendar and annual events" from Takanori Shintani) This is called "Bean Moon" because it is time to eat offering beans and chestnuts.

By the way, the thirteenth night of this year is October 18th (Monday).
