中秋の名月
9月30日は中秋の名月ということで、今年もミミロッコのロビーにススキと
お月見団子を飾りました。
昨年は、関西風のあんこを巻いたお月見団子でしたが、今年はウサギのお団子♪
外国人の入居者の方々に、日本では満月の中でウサギがお餅をついていると考えられている話をすると、皆、興味深々。。。
当日は、残念ながら台風で、お月見はできませんでしたが、、、
お月見用の干菓子も添えて、とっても風流。。。。
食べてしまうのが 勿体ないぐらいでしたが、そこは食欲の秋♪
どれも美味しくいただきました♡
秋の 果実(植物？)、フォックスフェイス（ほんとにキツネの顔に見えますよね♪）も飾られて、ミミロッコはいよいよ秋本番です。
可愛い♡♡
Harvest moon
For the night of the full moon called the harvest moon, which falls on September 30th, this year, “Tsukimi dango” or dumplings and “Higashi” or dry Japanese candies and pampas grass are displayed in the lobby of Mimilocco.
It has been traditionally said that the harvest moon is the most beautiful one which we can observe.
It is believed that the black part on the moon looks like a rabbit pounding rice to make
rice cake with newly harvested rice.
Unfortunately, as a typhoon hit Kansai area on that day, this year, we were unable to do
moon-viewing…….
However, the display of dumplings shaped like rabbits and of dry Japanese candies
shaped like moon, clouds, rabbits and so on made us feel the autumn season.
But, more than anything, we enjoyed eating dumplings, soooo delicious!!!
Umh….yummy!
Now, the seasonal flowers of autumn called “fox face” decorate our lobby. They look
just like fox faces.
They give an additional charm to Mimilocco’s autumn!
