Friday, 5 May 2023 – Kashiwa-mochi (oak rice cake)
味噌餡の柏餅が好物。20年ほど前、関西の友人たちに味噌餡の柏餅なんて知らないと言われ、はじめて関東の食べ物だと知った。（関東ほど一般的ではないが探せば関西でも味噌餡の柏餅は買えるとのこと）
味噌と小豆の両方を買えば紅白。めでたい。この白い柏餅はこし餡。
These are Kashiwa-mochi (oak rice cake). Kashiwa-mochi is a traditional Japanese sweet, that is a rice cake wrapped in oak leaves. In this rice cake contains sweet azuki bean paste or sweet miso paste. In Japanese tradition, Kashiwa-mochi is eaten on 5 May, the day of the traditional festival called Tango-no-Sekku. Very delicious. Generally, we can eat it only at this season.
