These two snowman-shaped rice cakes on the portable shrine, are called "Kagami-mochi" On the Jan. 11th, we eat these rice cakes. We eat them as Zoni-mochi, or soupy mochi , and Oshiruko, or sweet red bean soupy mochi.
Today is the winter solstice day. We eat pumpkin red bean sweet soup, and take yuzu citron bath on this day. The bath smells sooo good, and relaxs me a lot.
